Dammit people, stop making me excited.

I have enough work of myy oooooooooowwwwnnnnnokay fine. yes. I'm in, fuck it. LET'S DO THIS.

Just agreeing...

Never thought about the fact raising a hand has dual meanings...

I...hmm... I actually don't have a lot of experience with projection stuff. I imagine though the hardest part is getting your lighting right on actors without washing out the screen. I think they did projection stuff for Tokes and Stokes... so Teague?

If you wanted actually, the ship shot could be:

Background, the actors watching the ship land, do a fake shadow on top of that and then in the extreme foreground have a really really out of focus landing leg come into frame and park itself. Just frame it so you don't actually see the ground where the leg is contacting, and boom you're good to go.

Hologram, the hardest part of that is the tracking, the rest is just lighting and motion graphics work to make something cool. I think...Owen (?) was messing around with a hologram type thing like that a while back.

The light sabers will probably be the most grunt-worky, though not particularly difficult, as I'm sure more people on this forum will know better than I. Probably the most dangerous will be anything with 3D +live plate stuff. So the probe droid and hallway interior. Depending on how "absolutely photoreal" you want to go.

EDIT:
By point of reference, this was a film I directed/corralled in my first year of film school. 100% green screen hallways, 2 man 3D team, 2 man comp team. Less than a month shoot to final. Nearly killed us.

Granted, we have a lot more talented VFX-ers in this forum than I was back then (including myself) and the time frame will probably be a lot more than ours was, but just to, idk, put it out there I guess.

Actually that just means you're a shitty cook.

Also to me that seems like a bizarre twisting of what's actually happening here.

I make a lovely salmon dinner and serve it to you, you complain that you didn't want steak, I say, "I didn't make steak, it's salmon.", but you storm off saying you're sick of all this steak bullshit, you just wanted a nice salmon dinner.

I didn't do anything wrong, I made a nice salmon dinner, you're the one who decided to see it as a steak dinner. Should I get fired because I gave you exactly what i said I was going to?

Owen, that was a glorious thing to witness.

I'm really tempted to just layer all of yours together, just to see what it would happen.

Btw, Owen wins best Bag thus far for the schizo minion, Bag bag  bag bagbagbagbagBAGBAGBAGFUCKINBAG!!!!!!

I agree with both of the things that Invid said. And pretty much sums anything I would have to say.

So your argument is actually that things like cinemasins and HT shouldn't be allowed to exist because a portion of their audience will believe them?

Shit... we got whole industries we gotta shut down over here. I mean tabloids, out the window, womens magazines, porn...I mean that's just gone whole cloth, Fox news... jesus, we're gonna lose like half our working population.

*wanders away mumbling to self*

Anyways... yes, your argument is still that CinemaSins should change what it is so that it's fans won't do/say/be whatever it is that offends you.

I can't believe I have to say this, but content creators don't actually have some amazing mind control over their audience. HT and CS arn't sending out vast waves of ignorant movie goers to plague the internet.  People will do what people are gonna do.

If you wanna say you just hate the vocal fanbase of CS and HT, by all means go ahead, I won't stop you. There are plenty of fanbases I would gladly see wiped off the earth. If I ever meet another person who rants at me for not watching PewDiePie, I'll probably hit them quite hard. But PewDiePie himself has nothing to do with that. He's annoying in his own right, and probably why he attracts such a large vocal fanbase, but he isn't sending out vast legions of people screaming on forums. But every fanbase has those people, every fanbase, and they are everywhere. Welcome to the internet.

Obviously, you're not speaking comparatively to the rest of the film criticism/review universe.

I mean come on guys, I get that we all really care about movies and what not. But a couple comedy channels on youtube no more corrupts and destroys one of the pillars of the movie industry any more than My Drunk Kitchen and Swedish Meal Time corrupts the sanctity of the Food Network.

Y'all are nuts, and awesome, and I love it.
