Eclectic Method - The Future
LiquidDrift says...Pretty well done except half the clips had the wrong aspect ratio
World Drone Prix-Dubai
LiquidDrift says...Can't get enough of this stuff. DRL had a more interesting course, but a bit too difficult as usually only 1 or 2 people made it through each heat.
Ghostbusters FanCUT
LiquidDrift says...Can't take the stink off shit.
GHOSTBUSTERS - Official Trailer
LiquidDrift says...The first 30 seconds were pretty good
"Writing" Mechanical Clock
LiquidDrift says...Those subtitles are super helpful
When Video Game Companies Pay To Get Their Game Reviewed.
LiquidDrift says...Pretty much all of those Conan gamer clips you see are paid for - he doesn't do that for free!
Many of the top youtube let's players (pewdiepie) will do reviews for 10's of thousands (50k I think I heard). That's not for all reviews, just for games that they weren't planning on reviewing. There's no guarantee they'll give a positive review, so I guess that's how they don't feel icky for that?
Finally
LiquidDrift says...Better than I expected. Nicely done sir.
Shredding in a human ski suit
LiquidDrift says...If you want to look like a total weirdo going down the bunny slope, this is the way to go!
Yoga balls are dangerous
LiquidDrift says...If you are tempted to hold a yoga ball and run at someone else doing the same, make sure that you have more mass then they do, or you will soon be on the ground in pain.
Every Frame A Painting - Coen Brothers - Shot | Reverse Shot
LiquidDrift says...I've always wondered the same thing. What if they use a single camera, but both actors still run through the scene even though one of them is off camera? When the camera is over-the-shoulder, either the other actor is sitting there with the camera behind them, or it's a body double. I imagine it would be easier for the actors if they are both doing the whole scene even if the camera is not on them. If that's the case, that would explain the unscripted reactions - it might even make more sense since the offscreen actor might instinctively do things a little differently without the camera on them.
I was hoping this was going to answer a question I have asked for a long time but still don't have a clear answer. Is it common to have 2 cameras filming actors simultaneously during a shot/counter-shot scene in a standard Hollywood production, so it's recording their interactions in real time?
Or is it more likely done with one camera, with the actors filmed sequentially and responding to off-camera dialog as they speak their lines. And then the shot/counter-shot are strung together in editing.
Seems to me the one camera would be more logical, as otherwise the lighting resources themselves would have to be doubled and kept out of view. Also I don't ever remember seeing any pictures or footage from a movie set where they have 2 cameras and 2 sets of lights, etc.
The reason I keep asking is that on IMDB in the trivia section you always read some nonsense about somebody's onscreen reaction to some unscripted ad-libbed line being genuine.
Well if they aren't both in the same shot how could it be a genuine reaction if the shot/counter-shot are filmed with one camera at different times? And the dialog may be spoken and recorded hours apart?
Like this scene from the "Die Hard" trivia section:
Hart Bochner's line "Hans... Bubby!" was ad-libbed. Alan Rickman's quizzical reaction was genuine.
They weren't in the same shot, so how can his reaction be genuine when the line may have been ad-libbed several hours earlier or later. If it was ad-libbed at all.
It strikes me as stupid made-up shit that passes for trivia and knowledge on the Internet but wanted to get some opinions on this.
Game Of Drones-Drone Fight Club
LiquidDrift says...Interesting sport, be interesting to see how it evolves. He definitely had the best design.
Hardcore Henry - Official Trailer
LiquidDrift says...Thought the FPS was gimmicky at first, but it really looks like they got creative with it. Bravo!
Crushed between two Portals experiment
LiquidDrift says...Really, we're doing trigger warnings in descriptions now? *sigh*
Drifting And Ice Breaking With Russian Truckboattrucks
LiquidDrift says...Russian rednecks have way cooler trucks than American rednecks
Playback 30 / MAMBO
LiquidDrift says...He has amazing control over his face, but the camera work is also really impressive. Moving the phone closer to 'zoom' is ingenious and he kept it perfectly framed while doing that. Nice.
