Someone once got modded for saying Eazy-E dies at the end of Straight Outta Compton.

Funny, the other day I was talking to someone about "Hey, Dude."

I imagine he's going to drive to the prison.

Imagine if he shows up to jail in his car and gets in even more trouble.

Lot of casual racism in this topic...

Word. Someone need to tell Clarence to cut that shit out.

I really should get around to finding a YouTube adblocker for Android.

Alright, guys, what's the Mt. Rushmore of funny court zoom calls? This guy, the cat guy. and Buttfucker 3000 are an easy three, but who's the fourth?

Probably this:

that same judge with a guy who rolled and smoked a blunt on camera while waiting for court.

He seems used to dealing with stupid.

Is Homelander the final guest character or is there still one more?

There will likely be more next season, but as of this one; Takeda is the last character. That's who I'm the most excited for.

Yeah, a buddy of mine's wife was an extra in it and the only thing she said was noteworthy about it was that Anthony Mackey is apparently hotter in person.
This other guy I know who was also an extra in it just straight up said it looked terrible but the catering was "off the hook " Marvel apparently have really good catering.

The general consensus seems to be that people who start off on smaller stuff wants to work on big projects, and people who's been working on big projects long enough wants to just go back to smaller productions lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I've been trying to do film stuff for a long time but stuff got in the way and opportunities just never arrived. But for the last few years, I've been working really hard on making connections and getting on to productions and it's really starting to pay off!

Making movies is such a tedious, collaborative process that I'm honestly developing a larger appreciation for movies that get made and put out there. Even the bad ones. So much work and time go into it.
It's funny how a lot of newer people want to work on, say, a Marvel movie and when they do, they never want to do it again because there's so much moving pieces going on with those sets. That and they're notoriously anal about privacy/secrecy from what I hear.
I've met so many people who's worked on the new Captain America and nobody has anything good to say about it; as in, working on set is ridiculous and the movie itself sounds like it's going to be a dumpster fire lol

They probably came together and came to an agreement on what could be said and how far they can go with personal stuff.

Yeah, most professional fighting trash talk is just to sell the fights

This.

These fights are staged.

Isn't there a Cyberpunk sequel they're also doing?

Awesome TC. I'll probably see it.

I won't lol
I haven't even seen the original animated film.

You're ATL based? I'm in a much smaller market (Vegas) but we're planning a move within the next 2 years for either ATL, LA, or Chicago. Other than this gig has work been steady for you this year?

Yeah, Atlanta. Work has been good for me this year so far, which is wild because it seems like the moment you get your foot in (and, obviously, do good work and network with people) you'll find work pretty consistently.
Before this, I've been working at Floyd County Productions for most of last year or so (which is based more on animation, or in my case, a glorified writing PA). Between some of the people I've met there, and the contacts I've met through the Trilith Studios via the Georgia Film Academy, I've been finding myself being reached out to do all sorts of work on all kinds of projects. Granted, most of it has been smaller production stuff and I've mainly been in lower positions, but I'm taking experience wherever I can find it!

My next goal is to try to weasel my way into WB's "Genesis" production (Superman) through this Peacemaker gig. There's some overlap here between the two at the same studio, but Genesis is itself is being shot on-location in a whole different city. I'm probably a bit too late for that beause they're suppose to be starting the shoot for that about now or very soon.

Congrats TC

Thanks!

Yep there's a huge influx of videographers that want to become DPs rn but are flailing because they don't have a grasp on lighting. I've always learned that anyone can frame a shot (not to be diminutive of framing, it's just true) but lighting is a unique skill. And you'll learn the most in lighting as G&E.

Grips are usually the chillest people on set. Camera team is usually stressed and secretly upset at someone who is making their life hell lol

It's funny how accurate this is. I can think of so many instances of camera people being high-strung or going at it with someone else because of something not going right in a shot.
Actually, a few times now, I've been disregarded or outright ignored when trying to talk to someone on a camera crew in-between shots because they're so focused on what they need to be doing. I've learned not to take it personally though because I see how much they have to deal with.
But once a shoot day is over, they're usually way more upbeat and are the first ones trying to get everyone else to go hang out a bar or something lmao

Context?

G&E is the best path to DP nowadays. But lateral moves to camera team from G&E happen all the time. I work 1st AC, cam op, and key grip (in that order usually) mostly if I'm not DP on a project. Whatever is needed and is willing to pay lol

Absolutely. G&E is a blast. It keeps you busy on set, the people tend to be fun to hangout with during and after work, and the pay is a nice bonus most of the time. And yeah, it's truethe best way to becoming a good DP is having a good understanding of the Grip and Electrics side of things and not just the camera. Maybe I'd like to try my hand at DP work one day, I don't entirely know yet. The ones that I've worked around have just been so dag good at their jobs that it makes me a bit intimidated to be in such a position myself lol

You might get a free trip to Hawaii for this job

Nah. I'm only onboard for the stuff they're doing in Atlanta, as far as I know.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I'm more interested in writing and maybe even getting into camera stuff. I'd love to be apart of the camera crew and work my way up to a cam op or something, but at the moment, I've mainly been doing stuff for G&E and a few base gigs. For the Moana gig, I'm going to be an assistant Gripin other words, I'll likely be running back and forth from the equipment trucks and giving lazy people Apple Boxes to set their coffee and/or ass on.
I really like having that set experience though. I still have friends at FCP that I can reach out to where my work there was more writing-centric.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Hey, man. I hope you're doing great.
I've been incredibly busy pretty much since the year started (in a good way though).
I've come across so many great opportunities, met many wonderful new friends in my field and have been making awesome connections. I've been working my ass off on productions; a lot of short films and some bigger stuff here and there.

Like now, currently, for the past month or so, I've been working as an assistant at the production base for a "Warner Bros Max Original R-Rated Action Series that's part of the Access to Action Program..."
It's Peacemaker S2 - That was just how they labeled it because I guess they were trying to hide the name. I got the Moana gig because they're both being shot at the same studio and I just did a bit of talking networking.

nice, congrats

pay attention to see if he pisses in bottles

Yeah it's weird these 2 are being produced at the same time.

I was gonna say...on a related note; I also learned that a Moana 2 was a thing that's coming out this year, which is a bit weird if a live-action movie is supposed to be coming out in a couple of years.

The live-action movie feels like a weird Executive Decision from The Rock, or at least, someone from his production company since that's who's working on it. It's totally a vanity project lol

__aCEr__ posted...

Are you The Rock?

No but I'll probably be seeing him soon.

Because they're gonna start shooting next month and I, more or less, just got hired to work on it.

Finally making them Mickey Bucks, y'all!
