Mind of UPSLynx for the week of December 27th

Mind of UPSLynx for the week of December 27th

Amidst the Holiday chaos, a shining beacon in the distance: Mind of UPSLynx is back, and its just in time for New Years, Icrontic style. If you find yourself in the Detroit area this holiday, show up at ICHQ or else!

Your intrepid host has gotten Avatarded. The film is a marvel of new technologies and filming techniques, and I can’t get enough of the VFX behind it. It would be wrong on so many accounts if I didn’t mention it this week, so just consider this the ‘AVATAR episode’. If you’ve seen the film, join in on the discussion!

Finally, I’m moving to the Golden State in April. It will be an incredible cross-country journey, and I intend on bringing all of you along for the ride.

    Bandrik 0:40 ICHQ New years sounds great. Though this story sounds familiar to Grimnok's bailout. What rubbish.

    1:03 You got me with your dorky grin. Well played sir. Hahaha, "AVATAR." =D Wow

    2:30 Very interesting, I knew Steroscopy is getting big. But shooting virtual actors with a virtual camera after it was animated in, that's pretty big.

    3:00 I actually LIKED the song selection for the end credits. I felt it was perfectly appropriate.

    3:25 So you've finally made the move time official. I'm looking forward to your adventure.

    3:50 You are not at all sorry. Don't lie to us, Lynx.

    4:20 I see you too. For I am watching you from your ceiling. As you watch Avatar over and over. It's the same as wanking, yes?

    Ooookay at 5:21 and it's still going. Only 60% done. What is this? I detect easter eggs.

    7:02 Confirmed. More music. Wow. What are you doing under the cover of darkness, Lynx?

    8:29 If there was an easter egg other than the music, I didn't catch it. And so I am left feeling a little disappointed.

    MachineDog My comments would essentially be everything Bandrik said. <3

    UPSLynx CRAP. I just realized that I didn't trim off the end. When I edit, I throw pieces that are work in progress or ideas for later, or stuff to be trimmed WAY at the end so imported clips don't overlap them.

    I spot checked this episode after I exported, but I closed before realizing there was all that extra....

    Is that what you were talking about Chris in campfire, about the bit at the end being too long?

    I'll clean it up and re-upload when I get home.

    :/

    See, THIS is what happens when you do too much fanwanking in your videos, Lynx. THIS is why we can't have nice things. I'd hate to see what Mind of UPSLynx would have looked like if Half-Life 2, Wall-E or Corpse Bride just came out. You'd just embarrass yourself more.




    =D

    UPSLynx man! bustin' me! It hurts, but it's so funny and probably true.

    I can't remember the last time I was so excited about something, especially a film. half-Life 2 is it's own thing, but AVATAR takes the cake. It is the perfect marriage of two of my favorite things - film and technology. It's exciting to see what movie goers are going to be seeing in cinema, it's a bold new direction.

    chrisWhite lol, yep, that's what I was talking about. So done that before, that's not nearly as embarrassing as, say, getting the name of the company you work for wrong on a video you've worked on for a year and had finalled. Did that once, lower thirds said Laboratory for Atmospherics and Space Physics instead of Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics.
