I just hope Canon starts bringing features down to their lower end models instead of just making more expensive cameras

@NoviceInDisguise btw, were you climbing earlier?

How was it?

NoviceInDisguise

@TARDISMaker Yes, it was a lot of fun

TARDIS Maker

12:18 AM

I went (fake) climbing with Boy Scouts on a tower

I decided that it wasn't for me

I'm probably just not in good enough condition for it

Okay, I need to get more RAM

I can barely use some footage I've recorded with my camera

TARDIS Maker

12:49 AM

@NoviceInDisguise @VincentScalia Just thought you guys might like to know that I've decided to start working on my TARDIS again

Just in case you guys haven't subscribed to my thread

NoviceInDisguise

1:49 AM

Cool! I'd like to see it when you are done!

@TARDISMaker Yeah, being in CAP keeps me in pretty good shape. Six minutes thirty seconds for a mile, 50+ situps in a minute, etc. plus my hands are very strong from working on a farm

@TARDISMaker My camera is low enough res, it is pathetic. A minute of video takes less than some cameras RAW files for a still :P

@TARDISMaker I installed 32 bit on my 64 bit laptop, so my 16 gigs of RAM is limited to 3. Really frustrating

@TARDISMaker Canon, as per usual, misses the mark

Nobody would be an 8k camera from cannon....

What cannon should've made is a 6D like camera that shorts 4k and a 70d like camera that shots 4k

They should have also givin 4:4:4 HDMI out for 4K on those cameras

Canon says, okay, resulution is in, everyone wants 4k. Lets make a 8k camera above all those peoples budgets....

@gandalf3 what do you say to having people post links to their accepted diffs on this question as answers.

So people can see that other people are doing it. (People tend to be like sheep)

This guys should get a prize for ugliest blender theme on this site: blender.stackexchange.com/a/38256/3127

TARDIS Maker

4:23 PM

@GiantCowFilms Yeah

I feel like all their innovation (if you can call it that) is on the super high budget cameras

They don't seem to want to make nice lower end cameras

I bet they could cram most of the 5D into a $1000 or less camera and get a lot more customers

But then again, I don't think they've made an affordable camera that shoots 4K

Their competition is starting to get to them I think

You've got the GH4 and those cameras shooting 4K

I think Sony's A7 series can do 4K now

Then you've of coarse got Black Magic with the Pocket Cinema Camera

NoviceInDisguise

4:38 PM

Yeah, lots of competition rising up

The incompatibility of glass between brands is keeping me from jumping on any one brand-wagon as well.

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

NoviceInDisguise

I have begun learning some Unity 3D basics . . . using buttons to drive materials, importing assets, etc. Steep learning curve, but should be a good program to use. porting directly to Android is nice.

TARDIS Maker

I would probably go to something like the GH4 just because it seems like a good camera, but I don't want to be stuck using those smaller lens

@NoviceInDisguise Oh, cool!

NoviceInDisguise

True, but i do stills too

TARDIS Maker

What are you using to learn it?

NoviceInDisguise

4:41 PM

Just standard trial and error and experimentation

TARDIS Maker

@NoviceInDisguise The GH4 Does both, but I'm not sure how good it is at them

@NoviceInDisguise Okay

NoviceInDisguise

Once i get comfortable with the UI and nav tools i'll probably follow a few tuts to get me more advanced

TARDIS Maker

I opened it up a while ago and then basically closed it

@NoviceInDisguise Yeah

Now you're making me want to learn it a bit

NoviceInDisguise

We'll see if I can make anything cool with it. I finally have an android device to test games on, so that should help

TARDIS Maker

Okay

If I do anything I'll probably be sticking to web and pc publishing

NoviceInDisguise

4:43 PM

And of course I need to make sure I get my competition entry done in time, so I wil need to balance that. I have a few ideas, but I can't decide on just one.

TARDIS Maker

I have a few ideas, but they all rely on animation

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah, that is tough

I'm going to start with low-poly minimalistic sort of games

I might just start by trying to replicate other games, like the old standby street crossing ones

TARDIS Maker

Yeah, that would be a simple one (or so it seems)

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah, a good one to start with

TARDIS Maker

I'm updating my version of unity now

Hopefully I can do something with it afterwards

NoviceInDisguise

4:51 PM

cool

Vincent Scalia

5:02 PM

oops

NoviceInDisguise

hi

Vincent Scalia

heyo

how was your hike?

NoviceInDisguise

It was amazing

Some really good rock climbing too

Vincent Scalia

fun!

I did math all day

NoviceInDisguise

:P

Pic I took yesterday

Cool spot, and completely sheltered from the wind. A short 10 foot climb and you can reach it

Vincent Scalia

5:16 PM

sweet! wheres that at?

NoviceInDisguise

39°24'16.45"N 106° 5'46.92"W

Precise enough?

Vincent Scalia

...yeah

TARDIS Maker

@NoviceInDisguise Nice!

I would love to shoot a movie in that sort of environment

Lucky Radish :)

Vincent Scalia

yay, you should come to CO too!

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia Maybe eventually

Like in five years or something

There are still some pretty cool areas were I live

Vincent Scalia

5:28 PM

yeah, but not really cool

you know where I want to go?

TARDIS Maker

Detroit looks pretty cool how it's run down and stuff

Vincent Scalia

new Zealand.

TARDIS Maker

That would be AWESOME!!!!!

Vincent Scalia

it is literally the coolest place on earth

TARDIS Maker

All you have to do to see that that's true, is watch The Lord of the Rings

and maybe the hobbit too

but Lord of the Rings was better

Vincent Scalia

5:30 PM

way better

we watched the first half of return last night

I think I might study abroad there.

next year

TARDIS Maker

The first half!

Vincent Scalia

crosses fingers

TARDIS Maker

I'd watch the entire thing!

(I probable will pretty soon)

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker well yeah! the extended version is like, 3 hrs long!

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia That'd be pretty cool

Vincent Scalia

5:31 PM

and it was already 1 in the morning

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia The normal edition is like 3 hrs long!

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker the theatrical? no I think its 1.5 or 2

TARDIS Maker

I'm pretty sure the extended one is closer to 4hrs

Vincent Scalia

2

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia Nope, it's 3.5 hrs long

Vincent Scalia

5:32 PM

@TARDISMaker lemme check

TARDIS Maker

I own it

Wow, we're fighting over the length of a movie

I'm starting to feel stupid

I want to see the extended version, but I don't have access to it sadly

Vincent Scalia

mine doesn't say how long it is

@TARDISMaker I have all three in extended limited edition

:)

spent waaaaaaaaay too much on those

TARDIS Maker

$50?

Each?

Vincent Scalia

>$75

TARDIS Maker

I got all of them for $10 from the local target

Vincent Scalia

5:35 PM

per

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia WOW

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker now I feel stupid

TARDIS Maker

What did you get extra for that?

@VincentScalia :)

I would expect to get them all for like $30 under normal circumstances

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker its got all the cut scenes, the concept arts, commentary (which i'll never listen too) cases, and all that fan junk and stuff. the concepts are really cool to page through

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia Okay

Vincent Scalia

5:37 PM

and its got interviews with the actors.

TARDIS Maker

It seems like to would be cool to have all that stuff, but I don't think I'd want to spend that much on it

@VincentScalia That doesn't interest me a whole lot

Vincent Scalia

you could probably look all that up on google, but it's good to have the bragging rights.

TARDIS Maker

Yeah :)

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker yeah, a waste of resources

Anyway, on a happier note, I just handpainted a mandrill

TARDIS Maker

I could buy a nice microphone for that cost!

@VincentScalia mandrill?

Vincent Scalia

5:38 PM

@TARDISMaker of a handpainted mandrill?

@TARDISMaker baboon...

TARDIS Maker

Oh, okay

@VincentScalia Yeah

Vincent Scalia

Mandrill

The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Old World monkey (Cercopithecidae) family, closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the drill. It is found in southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo. Mandrills mostly live in tropical rainforests and forest-savanna mosaics. They live in groups called hordes. Mandrills have an omnivorous diet consisting mostly of fruits and insects. Their mating season takes place from June to October. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in the genus Papio, but recent research has determined that they...

TARDIS Maker

There so expensive

No I'm talking about the extended limited edition

Vincent Scalia

oh

TARDIS Maker

I have a feeling that I could buy a RED for the price of a Mandrill

Vincent Scalia

5:42 PM

?

Or a new computer

RED

Camera

@TARDISMaker really, I could sell it for that much!? :) :D

TARDIS Maker

Those twenty thousand dollar cameras

@VincentScalia No

Not unless you were able to make it really

@VincentScalia :)

Vincent Scalia

5:43 PM

it's lowpoly

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

Vincent Scalia

but its to be seen froim really far away

TARDIS Maker

You could maybe convince someone to buy it for $1

Vincent Scalia

>:D

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia Okay

Vincent Scalia

5:43 PM

no, it could probably go for $3 if I tried

it's animated

TARDIS Maker

Make sure you add a level 20 subserf to it

Vincent Scalia

, handpainted

@TARDISMaker noooooooooo... that would ruin it!

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia That brings up the value quite a bit

Vincent Scalia

it would get all round and skinny

TARDIS Maker

@VincentScalia Oh, I didn't realize :P

Vincent Scalia

5:45 PM

ew, "who wants this skinny, round mandrill I found? selling for $1!!!"

TARDIS Maker

:D

Vincent Scalia

i should make this my account pic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrill#/media/File:Mandril.jpg

awwww... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrill#/media/…

@VincentScalia COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!‌!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!‌!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vincent Scalia

what if i crop it?

heh?

Vincent Scalia

5:50 PM

suuuuuuuuure

uh oh. i just got a pizza stuck to my notebook

TARDIS Maker

:)

Vincent Scalia

6:04 PM

Q: Now this is all entirely hypothetical, but what if someone managed to smear 3 pounds of raw pizza dough between page 190 and 572 of their cultural anthropology text-book? How would one extract so much dough from the book?

TARDIS Maker

You wouldn't
