Awww. It's nice when siblings get along so well.
So have I. But I'm the only DiF'er who feels strongly about doing it. ![]()
Exactly - the same argument applies there. mp3 is designed for small file sizes for internet streaming and so on, but brings with it a lot of compression artifacts that can cause trouble if you try to export the file again.
.wav or .aiff at maximum quality are my usual choice.
I use TGA usually, although PNG seems to do the job as well with smaller file size.
Whichever, the point is to use a format with as little compression as possible. Any video version you spawn from those will add its own flavor of compression, but at least you're always starting with the best possible source resolution.
Aside from FX shots which often involve frames, I use image sequences as my final output format - at least for projects that I think will have any shelf life at all. A directory of individual frames plus a soundtrack audio file makes the project more future-proof. You don't have to worry about your master file becoming outdated because of the codec you used, etc.
Whatever format I need my project to be in, I just load the original frames and output as needed. I've lost count of how many times I've exported the Pink Five series to keep up with new codecs and formats, but all the versions have been generated from the same set of original master frames.
Not only is Huey Lewis in it, his songs are all over the soundtrack!
Wait, wait - come back... I haven't even told you that we just replaced the original movie star lead with some kid from tv!
I'd agree the act break comes when Marty has gotten his parents to fall in love, and the final act is all about getting Marty back to the future.
I think that makes the actual break Marty's final scene with his mom in the stairwell, where we find out for sure that Lorraine has chosen George. Once that's settled, we immediately cut to Marty meeting up with Doc at the clock tower and the race to the finish is on.
Nice! Never seen it all laid out like that before...
A few others I can think of -
At first Marty's sister is unpopular, then at the end is told by the brother "hey, I can't keep track of all your boyfriends" or some such.
The scene with Jennifer in the town square is completely crammed with setups - in addition to the clock tower flyer, there's also:
Marty sees the 4x4 truck, later he will own it.
Marty frets about sending his demo tape to record companies, and Jennifer says "Like Doc says, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything". Marty answers with "what if they say I'm no good?... Jesus, I'm starting to sound like my old man", Later George says the same thing almost verbatim about his writing to Marty, and Marty gives him the "put your mind to it" line. Which George then echoes again at the end, talking about his novel - "It's like I always say, if you put your mind to it..."
And the demo tape itself is a setup - (I believe) it's the same tape he later uses to melt George's brain. (I admit I could be wrong on this one).
EDIT - oh, you had the 4x4 in there already, I missed it. Carry on.
Well, that news may help the workers decide whether they're on the side of management or labor, which would be a good start...
