Very Netflix of you, YouTube.

i love talking about star trek

If it was done in a van, my explanation makes even more sense! That's exactly the sort of environment you'd rig up a weird setup with small lights. You can't bounce or silk anything. And I didn't look for any examples. Maybe it's NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF TV. But that's what happened.

Ok, Imma explain the admiral neck shadow thing. (Spoilers: it's not a rubber mask, ya weirdos)... 🧵

Just 3 more years until it shows up on my porch, young as the day it disappeared, filling my haggard eyes with tears of relief and dismay.

Orson Welles: I worked with Grogu. Not in film you see but on the stage. Brilliant performer but a cruel disgusting wretch of a soul. Interviewer: Pourrions-nous parler de Citizen Kane à la place, s'il vous plaît ? Welles: yes he did sell out his friends to HUAC, I will never forgive him for that

The famously cerebral avant-garde artist Norman Rockwell. (Whose body of work I was definitely offering a full-throated critique of with my visual gag post.)

I don’t really care about the personal convictions of a man in a… button-up bomber jacket and a zipper shirt? What?

Neelix would make an /excellent/ real estate agent.

UGH, FINE I’LL DO IT

In a world where YouTube never says an incorrect thing, the answer is no. They must be rounding 59.94 to 60 because there’s way more content in 59.94fps than 60fps, so it’s more “common.” But they probably didn’t care either way and just wanted to use friendly-looking round numbers in help text.

Almost no one ever needs a frame synchronizer, but when one does, one reeeally does.

Back then those poor actors had to just imagine CG bugs with nothing but enormous practical sets, true scale spaceship mockups, real crowd scenes and life-sized puppet limbs of bugs to guide them.

What?? Wow, I love the Scriptnotes podcast! Thank you for including me, @johnaugust.bsky.social And I'm not at ALL terrified to listen to what a pair of prestige TV/film screenwriters think of my YouTube vids 👀

That’s NOT how you splice a camera negative. F-

Episode 1 of Map Men was uploaded TEN years ago today!!! 🎂 🎉 Why not celebrate by watching all 37* episodes in a row right now? youtube.com/playlist?lis... (*33 if you don’t count the ones that don’t count)

Ready to join the rebel alliance with this thing.

Gotta do a 3-hour video essay on the framing, lighting, blocking, and editing of every single shot 🤤

I found my stash of Star Trek Voyager script sides/call sheets/schedules (that I thought got destroyed years ago). It's interesting to see how they blasted through script revisions and crammed episodes into 7-8-day shoots. And all the li'l production things.

texts from friends

Not to brag, but that’s pretty good recall from purely a 30+ yr childhood memory, right? 💆🏻‍♂️

Aaah!!! Yes! It was this! Thank you! 🙏

Hey retro tech enthusiasts, I'm trying to find a pic of this cool little portable tape recorder we had when I was a toddler. Here's what it kinda looked like. DK the brand/model. About 9" across. It had these crazy, extra-wide, white buttons with dark indented pads like big toes. Any ideas?

I know nuance is dead, but I wasn't doing an old man yell at YouTuber mic-holding. Just sharing a very specific, irrational hangup I have about one of the most normal holding techniques. So if you're replying with a AGREE! ALL YOUNG YOUTUBERS SHOULD BE JAILED energy, we're not on the same page.

Need a word for the phobia/revulsion thing I feel from the visual of someone holding one of those extra tiny DJI mics with just the tips of the index finger, middle finger & thumb, with the pinky raised. Nothing wrong with it! And yet it does viscerally make me want to sledgehammer the screen.

What's crazy is he was supposed to be looking at a CG character right in front of him. In the original footage they even gave him an eyeline reference and he STILL couldn't do it!

If you run into me, please excuse my initial gloomy stare of deep, inexplicable sorrow that seems to echo back through generations and envelop us both like an eclipse. That's just my face. Simply explain who you are, give me a moment to process, and I'll snap into the guy you know from the vids

That's very kind 🙏 I wish I had the gift of unscripted gab. Even working from an outline, I stammer and pause SO much, it necessitates an obscene amount of jumpcuts, which in turn require lots of b-roll (to make it watchable). Involuntary polish! Hopefully w/practice I can afford to get more lazy.
