    😉
    I was only a maverick before Sarah Palin thought it was cool.
    I’m not advising anything. First hand, though, I pulled 14 images from google today for a negative political spot. Will I catch any grief? Not even a little bit.

    thinking big is the key.
    I can’t tell you how many people laughed at me when I was a kid when they asked what I was gonna be when I grow up and I told em I was gonna make movies. It was the same reaction when my brother told them he was gonna be a major league baseball player. It was part pitty and part… well, I think it was just pitty. I was in the video industry full time for well over a decade before my Dad stopped asking me if I was “still doing that video thing?” Today I make little movies every day. Not to spite the nay sayers but because I’d rather do something I love rather than get in line like the rest of the drones. If I didn’t make it happen, it’d simply not happen.
    The key to thinking big? Man just freakin love it. Ya don’t have to really think about it then. Folks ask me my business plan sometimes. It always gets a laugh from me. I’m in a rapidly evolving industry so the plan is to lead the evolution, not follow. I don’t have to write that down. John Lennon was wise when he said life is what happens when you’re making plans. I’d rather spend time living than planning and missing it.
    Bottom line, if you aint goin’ woohoo, you aint doin’ it right. Do that everyday and success gravitates to you. Seek success while deciding what ya wanna be when you grow up and you’ll remain too lost to find it.

    I, on the other hand, love folks who help me justify my rates. Second best sales dudes I have.

    to whatever kind of player you have. Most take it to Dbeta and many dislike it’s 2:1 compression (which is not seen). Sounds like you are wanting to take it to Beta sp, right? Component, uncompressed… no worries other than drop outs so just have em lay it off twice for ya.

    This was spoken much of 15 years ago or so. HD has changed everything from make up artists to set designers because we simply see more resolution. Disaster? If evolution is. How long did folks think people were gonna go through the process and expense of film?

    August 29, 2010 at 4:10 pm in reply to: [VFX ] How make this effect and how is it named ?

    Chroma keying the principal is the best way but I’ve seen fine results by having them move in slow motion while the rest of the scene performs real time action. You see this in music videos a lot… lip syncing to muisc at half speed, ect.
