Should be noted that we "technically" don't know about Ghostwalker yet (Holy shit, I got the name right on the first try. I'm a god.) all of the Tsunderine and We Are We stuff is happening while Shadowhawk is cracking the computer. (We were just given some hints by out glorious DM about what we "will" find on it.) But we can probably say you're starting to pull off files that suggest Ghostwalker is involved somehow.

I think at the start of next session is when the comp will be fully hacked.

Burn Notice is actualy the first thing I ever saw Cambell in. The show was actually pretty good too.

True. The problem is that if you need to be moving around and getting in close on actors and getting wides you have to be on a zoom lens.

In essence, I've got a shotgun (NTG-2) suspended in the rafter about 3m in front of the stage pointed at the roughly center of the stage. I'm running an XLR from that to my Zoom H5 at the back of the seating area. And I'll film the first night from a platform at the back of the stage, and the second night from the back of the lower seating area on the right. Camera wise, it's just my GH2 with the kit lens (40-140).

That's about it, and then it's just editing tricks to get the two nights to edit together nicely. I also always run the footage through a degrain because the GH2 doesn't do amazing with the higher ISO's I need to run at in there. but I have no idea what camera you're running with right now.

Okay let me see if I can trace this path for you...

This is a poster for the sequel to a live sketch from last season, that is being used a prop in a filmed sketch that is a parody of the actor interviews in preshows at the theater, while the actual sketch is being performed in the show.

So it's a fake poster for a fake movie based on a real sketch that's a sequel to another sketch being used for a parody interview of the fake actor that's in the fake movie based on the real sketch.

Simple right?

Either way, this was a super quick project, it's not perfect, but it'll do what it needs to do.

So I was going through the footage for the very first (official) session we did. and LITERALLY the first thing that happens is Synap calling Whisper and telling him to plant the trackers. So I think we can all be forgiven for having bad recall on that one tongue

I have a feeling that a LOT of the prequels will be...uh...what's the word...ceremoniously burned a stake and then forgotten, when it comes to these movies.

As for the rest of it, taking what the trailer gives us, I'd wager it's building pretty heavily off what Han said in ANH, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons." and that mentality. They are a myth, even further now than before. Because it'll be what? Another 30 of years after ROTJ? So that's basically an entire generation (The main cast) that has grown up without any sign of the reality of Jedi. Because right now, and for the past 30 years, the only Jedi in the UNIVERSE has been Luke. The Imperials have gone on conquering or ruling, or just being general Nazi fanboys, whatever it is they do. I doubt the majority of the universe knew Palpatine was a Jedi and maaaaaybe there were a few rumors that Vader might have been one, but otherwise, that's the entire presence of Jedi's for, bleh, head math here... 50 years? (Age of ANH Luke + time period of OT + time til Awakens from ROTJ).

So, assuming we're ignoring the prequels here I'd argue it's a bit more like

"Hey did you hear about that one dude in the middle of the Amazonian jungle 50 years ago that could fly?"

"Oh shut up Barry, how much have you had to drink?"

As far as the whole "It being their myth" thing it makes a lot more sense in that universe. That's the story their parents told them about the time the Empire had their giant Laser tag facility destroyed...twice. And according to my uncles cousin, 5 times removed's friend, who might have been there, but who definitely heard it from his brother's gardener, there was a Jedi there.

So agreed, assuming they're going to attempt to keep that shit consistent with the PT, it makes no damn sense. But assuming they, at the very least, "Just don't bring it up and maybe they won't think about it." it, it makes total sense.

I'm still hopeful for the burning at the stake thing.

I've been trying to think why these trailers and images from VII are getting to me so hard, and I'm fairly certain it's more  that just "SQUEEESTARWARS", and I thiiiiink it's because there is absolutely nothing else being made right now that LOOKS like this.

Seriously, everything about the actual image of this movie is just jaw dropping. I know it's fake, I know this, but I look at so many of the images and it looks, not just real, but real in that perfectly operatic way. It's hard to explain, everything "feels" real, but it's also slightly exagherated in a very theatrical sort of way. Everything feels intentional and with a lot of thought. But then at the same time, it feels messy asnd gritty and natural.

It's a visual style that is so insanely perfect for a modern interpretation of a "Space Opera".

Guardians of the Galaxy started to go in this direction, which is why I loved it so much, but ultimately still had to live in it's own slightly more cartoonish Marvel world. But VII seems to be going fully and head first, no fucks given, into that gritty operatic style. And damn it speaks to me.

EDIT: Or to go full video nerd. It's dark and gritty but with the saturation turned ALLLLLL the way up. And yet it still manages to look amazing. Dammit JJ you magnificent bastard.

I'm good for tomorrow. But I've got to be done by 9 my time, so hopefully the heist is wrapped up by then, or Whisp might have to duck out a bit early hmm

I thought this was pure escort, get the dude in, he plants the partial penny code and we get out. Are we literally robbing the actual bank at the same time?
