And don’t worry about it. . .glad to ‘provide’ the opportunity to toss a couple of other things back and forth. And, yes, HISHE DOES rock!

Thanks for the info. I shoulda check IMDB, but figured I’d try and get a little more insight from the ‘source’. Thanks for the stuff about IMAX though. Even if it’s just a lead–i.e. something to google–it’s still good to know about.

go to:
https://www.vimeo.com/11151093
and check it out from around 2:18 – 2:25 (don’t worry about watching the whole reel; it’s only for example). Is this the kind of thing you were looking to do?
If so, let me know and I’ll dig up the information for you, because it was pretty complicated and don’t want to go through the process of telling you if it isn’t.Some contents or functionalities here are not available due to your cookie preferences!This happens because the functionality/content marked as “Vimeo framework” uses cookies that you choosed to keep disabled.

I was drooling when I first caught glimpse of the G73, but check this out: there computer has almost NO connectivity. No 1394 (iLink/firewire), eSata, and a couple of other things.
No doubt about it: the G73 is a big, bad machine. But if you’re doing the kind of work that requires a 17″ screen and up to 16Gb Ram (upgradable to), then you’re going to also need to plug into some connectivity with cameras and drives and so on.
Instead, I ‘settled’ for the Asus G51-series (mine is the jx-x5). I studied the matter intently for over three weeks, checking and rechecking the forums, specs, reviews, everything till it got to the point where not even the guys at the retail stores could manage outtalk me in terms of specs–and I’d advise you look carefully at the stuff they have at Best Buy, for instance; not that they’re HORRIBLE, mind you–and every road seemed to lead me back to the G53.The screen’s slightly smaller, and you can’t put more than 8Gb in it, but my feeling is if you really want THAT MUCH, then you should put your money to a desktop instead. And even so, you’ll still be able to talk MacBook users down whenever they try and tell you how much better their mac is than your Asus. ;P More CPU, more durability/longer lasting (independent research shows Asus to be the most durable of all laptop manufacturers), more software options, ALL for less money.
I’ve only been able to do a little ‘test’ editing with Vegas 9 since I got the computer, but so far, haven’t really had any snags. Except for the fact that the windows media player is having trouble dealing with the HD stuff I rendered as a test. Alotta lag, and I’m still trying to figure out Why.
Take this for all it’s worth. . .but I’d advise you to stay away from the G73, UNLESS Asus finally got their connectivity issues taken care of.

Forgive me for sounding dense, but I’m just a little vexed by your answer and would like some clarification. You say I can install Vegas on my home system and my laptop, but need to buy separate licenses if I want to run it on several machines at once.
I currently doing everything on just my laptop, but my plan is to have Vegas on my laptop as well as regular desktop which I’d devote exclusively to production, and network these two computers together in order to shorten the rendering time of longer stuff.
(All this info, including what I heard about being able to install Vegas on three computers, comes from the Class on Demand cd-rom for Vegas 6-7.)
So, can I do this with my current version–install it on a laptop and desktop, both of which I’d use, and together to help render–or should I plan on buying another copy/license when I get the desktop?
Also, will my current license apply when I update to 9e. I suppose it will, but I just spent a lot of money (for me), and don’t want to screw around and with risking some bad installation or something, and messing around with the licensing issue any more than I have to. -
Oh yeah, HISHE vids are great. The best are for Transformers and LOTR. As for lens flare, I think it’s got its place. A lot of people complain of it being a new fad, and they may be partially right. But if you ever watch the classic movie Poltergeist, you’ll see how lens flare at the right moments add to the ‘supernatural’ feel of the whole thing. A little creepy. . .
But, apart from all that, and all your guys’ wonderful opinion–and, yes, I’ve seen that camera-shaking thing they do–anyone want to answer my question.

Hey Mike,
Are you perhaps married to M. Schepers, and father of N. Schepers? If so, then we’re kinda family. . .(check out FB).
It would be cool to have someone so close on the family block be a Vegas user, I think. -
Thanks for the post. Being half-Iranian, finding out about this kind of makes me think that through my ghetto animations I’m somehow ‘getting back to my roots.’
Any information where I can see the actual video, though? -
Yeah, it’s a couple of years late, but it looks like they film it at a real slow frame rate with, perhaps, longer shutter speeds. I’m no cinematographer, so I can’t say if it’s possible to make longer shutter speeds with either a film or digital camera, but another advantage, aside from some of the motion blurs you see, is you don’t have to worry about lighting so much when you’re working with longer shutter speeds. (I have enough experience with still photography to figure out a few things, though.) I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out that they used all natural light for the video.
Also looks like some of the footage was played backwards as well. -
I’m a pretty new to Creative Cow, but this is definitely the most intense thread I’ve read so far! Kind of shows that post-related fields extend FAR BEYOND the reach of reality television and youtube as a lot of people would believe.
