Real flamethrower vs. “Not a Flamethrower” by Elon Musk

jmd says...

Wait...it clearly says it is not a flame thrower. Why was there even a need for a wrap up? It clearly was what it claimed to me. Not that I didn't like seeing real flame throwers in action. Would have been interested if they revealed the fuel mixtures, seems like the old one was mixed with oil.

There was a crime.. it just waited till the last second of the video.

Ain't nobody robbing this house

jmd says...

What is missing is the sound of clacking and scraping of the dogs nails on floors as he bolts at mach 3 to the next window.

hilarity ensues but only for a short bit. This really needs a full read by these guys even if its on another video service. I havnt been this disappointed in the video ending since avengers 3.

Massive Explosion in Italy

jmd says...

I didnt see anyone... unfortunately if you are in range of the fire, you are seeing 3rd degree burns or worse. Just watching the video gave me a sunburn.

I really hope only the stupid unqualified driver was the only one to die.

Damn, from this angle you can see there were folks engulfed in the fireball.

Hopefully it was nothing serious, especially not fatal.

Rapid Bridge Replacement

jmd says...

Those signs are the result of a different crew and I'm sure they only wait till after it is done building to do the final measurments, and then they need to submit paper work to get the sign requested and made which could take a while.

I would be interested in knowing what the hell they were doing on the second weekend. They did an awful lot of passes and tarping, and you can also see what looks like dirt, but in the end the cement bridge is still whats exposed.

All that work and they didn't change the clearance sign.

BlackFly - Flying Car

jmd says...

If there is one thing I have learned from cinematography, NEVER believe the lighting condition! it is insane how many night scenes are shot in the day and color corrected to night in the final.

I think the cgi-ness is our brains trying to associate what we see with what we have seen in the past. This vehical seems to be;

a) Super light weight hollow body
b) DC motor driven
c) all electric

It is literally a big boy version of modern RC helicopters which also exhibit weird looking physics because the motor totally overpowers the mass of the body.

Obviously most of the footage is of the only way this vehicle can hover, on its back. Being all electric and light, the flight time is likely only minutes.

We have seen many vehicles like this, the only puzzle piece no one is solving is a sustained source of power.

Not just you. Also looks like a prototype being lifted by a crane in some shots. The propellers look too small to lift that mass.
I was also suspicious that they had so much footage under various lighting conditions. The twilight shots especially, which are dangerous conditions to fly under. Could be we're wrong, and just be artful CG for the sake of a fundraising video?

The Insane Logistics of Formula 1

Total fail at writing the blatant crew 2 advertisement into the end of the video. He used the word "but" like he was going to counter what he just said, and then never followed through after the advertisement.

Battlefield 5: Next-Gen Graphics | No HUD 4K 60fps

jmd says...

does it look nice? sure... does it look next gen? nope. Character lighting seem absent but I think it may have been a gameplay choice to better see players. Building deformation is not new but rare enough that it is always an awesome thing to see. Snow particles are nice, but particles are nothing new. Snow is still just as deformable now as it was the past 5 years. Come back to me when snow banks can be moved. Still to see them while maintaining 60 fps in a shootout is nice.

I kind of had to scoff at how much destruction was afforded a plane cratering in the ground. Plane support seems pointless on a map this small but I imagine the map could become bigger (bigger player modes) later on. In the end though.. looks fun, although more of the same. I am no fan of loot box style power ups hence I havnt played a battlefield in many years, we will see how this one turns out.
