Does anyone have experience with using filter adapters that allow you to use filters from conventional camera lens on things like action cameras and high-end smartphones? I've only recently discovered their existence, and since I have both an OSMO Action and quite a few 52mm filters, I thought I...

Have you considered teaching the students Fountain? It may be a good way to teach them the basics of screenplay format without them having to learn less important nuances like what font to use and where the margins are supposed to be. Plus there are existing free and open source tools that can...

You realize you just proved that there was a more appropriate, better reasoned way of dealing with @Yudu Reeolies's comment? You've just demonstrated that a heavy-handed and baseless claim of terroristic threatening wasn't even necessary. Not that I take your citation of forum rules as anything...

I think Health and Safety would approve. :)

Neither, because the neck injuries aren't in a literal context and are metaphorically self-inflicted. It's disappointing to read this kind of comment from a moderator. No rational person could come to this conclusion base on what he wrote. Even if we were to take Yudu's statement literally...

No one is confused about this point. You haven't explained how it's not a Catch-22 by ONE definition. Not that it matters, because this isn't a constructive conversation. It can only serve to take us further off topic. Ah, here's the emotional core of the matter. I'm sorry if I came across as...

So, wait, the entire bridge crew (sans the captain and helm), are going to be in the corners facing backwards away from the view screen, while the Captain has line of sight on everything they're doing, and they have to stand the whole time? You're going to have a serious problem with crew turnover.

@Jedman67, I don't think he's put in the chairs for the back consoles yet. Plus those two top screens are blank. Once he puts those in, it probably won't look so uncluttered.

Since the "broader point" was that I had a "grab bag of unrelated topics", I simply quietly accepted your point and picked a single topic to reply to. My apologies for not spelling that out for you explicitly. You do understand that I can't address ALL the comments you made on the multiple...

I'm well aware of the fact that rescheduling can be a delay of months and that people come and go from film groups all the time, often necessitating a recast or possibly scrapping a film altogether. That's not an excuse for having amateurs work 12+ hours, then have them be back on the set bright...

Here's a video on set safety: The 4 Most Dangerous Things on a Film Set The last point about fatigue is a serious issue. If you're running behind on a shoot, there's a temptation to push through and finish, but sometime the best thing to do is to simply schedule an additional shooting day...

Don't forget to have a first aid kit, in case something happens to a member of your cast or crew: https://makezine.com/article/craft/photography-video/ultimate-film-set-first-aid-kit/

The two Galaxy-class bridges are excellent. As for the USS Endeavor, honestly, I prefer the earlier version. In the later version, the two chairs next to the Captain's chair are harder to get out of because their respective consoles have been moved from the sides to the front of each chair, and...

For a second there, I was like "Why are there dots connecting those two button panels on the table?" before I realized they're a reflection of the lights.

Wow, you took that video way more seriously than I had intended. However, you do bring up a lot of good points related to lateral movement, such as the observation that many movies treat towards the screen as north. Like I said, I'm not trying to represent these things as hard and fast rules...

Two comments about the lounge. First, the lack of rails is concerning. Seems like a single hit to the ship will send everyone gazing out the window toppling over. Health and Safety will not be pleased. Second issue, which is much more minor, is that the half-circle table for the middle bench is...

Please contribute to my documentary on how we can break the Circle of Grift.

I'd like to add to the topic of screen movement: While this is not a hard and fast rule, screen movement tends to follow the direction of your writing system, with progress in cultures with Left-To-Right writing systems tending to occur in movement from the left side of the screen to the right...

Yeah, but if he hadn't written that one episode of Mrs. Columbo, would Voyager as we know it even exist? ;)

You mean how the ending turned into a gender-swapped, android version of Hellboy, complete with dimensional portal and Mecha-Cthulhu?
