GUYS my late 2013 imac is fuuuuucked up after high sierra help me what i guess you would call data writing (?) has become VERY slow with this update example: I move a folder of files from one location to another, like from documents to my desktop. when i open the folder, its empty – but its not, its just taking SOOOoooooo long to move the data. in a crazy way. i cant work like this example 2: i just took a screenshot, something i do constantly, and it took the tiny .png file 17 SECONDS to show up on my desktop. that usually happens in a second or less AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELP 911 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

haa! thats so funny. i love that show. mulder would be so happy with all the ufo news right now the irony is that ultimately the HD release of the x-files needs a fair amount of work in my eyes: as you may know they didnt have a bunch of the original 35mm footage for establishing shots, and also some effects shots, so they stick out like a sore thumb in SD. i mean they look really ridiculous. and they redid all the type (had to), but somehow managed to oddly change the famous typewriter font. wtf. i could remake that font in like a few days. So lame!!! ive heard that too lol. im no expert but imo film scans can get too sharp. the film grain is perfectly noticeable in a lot of xfiles scenes in 1080p, itll just be sharper grain in 4k dont get me wrong, id scan it in 4k, work in 4k for sure, but i dont think youre loosing much with an HD output is what im sayin. but i have to laugh bc in this case id welcome a 4k xfiles re-re-release so they could fix those goddam missing shots ?

@jbCinC_12 oh thank you! hey i love the video you posted, the bokeh on that cosmicar is a trip!!! v dreamy and cool

@Jonesy Jones for me it depends on the content... like if im thinking about getting the x-files, originally shot on 35mm, on bluray, then that 1080p is great, and idk how much a 4k scan of that film would be beneficial at all, at least to that show. that grid of 1920x1080 pixels is plenty of space to reproduce the film scans and have them look awesome however if i wanted to buy something that originated in 4k, then id totally want a 4k disc or whatever ^^^^^^ i watched mary poppins in hd the other night it was frickin amaaazing

@mercer yeah, i shot those with my d53, and thanks! the last ones a PERFECT example of "B&W B.S." lol theres no people in these shots, but this does illustrate my point that you can get away with a lot in b&w look at the exposure... its flat af! ?

YES!!! what a good topic i LOVE b&w photography, thats how i started, shooting 35mm black and white film ive made many b&w darkrooms in closets and bathrooms lol frankly, dealing with color is WAY harder than shooting b&w (so many variables!) – b&w should be really freeing~! i think most ppl will find a HUGE amount of room to play in post, since you can fuck with hues and exposure like crazy to get a cool b&w image. although id love a dedicated b&w camera, having the color data to play with in post can be quite interesting i would love to make a b&w feature! anyway heres a few shots i took the other day that i ~chose~ to treat as b&w bc the color was so meh... much better! *i would recommend listening to the song low desert by r.e.m. while viewing these pics

good lawd! sounds AWFUL ill definitely pass on that – who wouldnt?!?

i wanted snow but it looks like thats not happening this year... its cold enough but no rain i left my mountain fortress of solitude to go shopping and found a six pack of bell's expedition stout for xmas~! yay!!! quite a find in the middle of nowhere o_O i just want santa to bring me good luck on my lil short im starting production on in January!! thats p much it. oh and the disclosure news is the best present ever omg

awww man...!!! that TOTALLY sucks @Elvis Peckeliunas im so sorry that happened instead of treated we get tricked steda kisses we get kicked

THAT WORKED!!!! THANK UUUUUU

i would say that in general 1080p ML raw is not for highly detailed shooting – the 5d3 is resolving way less detail than the current competition. a highly resolved 4k image looks worlds clearer than a 1080p one on my 1080 plasma; on a 4k screen the difference will be even more significant and the screen will be far less forgiving overall, so be prepared for that

mmmmmmm......

@DaveAltizer cool review! i like the style, its fun i wish my camera had a touchscreen so my doggee could do pictures w me ? god i love that dog /anyway, im impressed with the color – WAAAAAYYYY better than some of the stuff in the past, and it looks like sonys improving on a lot of other things too im gonna watch smore a7r3 videos~! yay!

tbh i couldnt agree more, and i agree with the libertarian spirit of @maxotics's points, but where i live (in southern california no less) there is ~ONE~ high speed ISP how can new ISPs even come up in the game? dont you need zillions of dollars of infrastructure? what about satellites? idek lol as far as this recent ruling, if there were 15 companies competing for my business, that would be a completely different story. but im super scared of monster ISPs, who also have political motives, who also own massive content libraries being the sole arbiters of the US internet ?

well believe it or not i downloaded high sierra and im having serious problems (a) late 2013 imac restarts from a sleep for no reason. instead of waking from sleep like usual, it takes a few moments and then i see "Your computer has been restarted because of a problem". wtf!! (b) nvidia drivers asking for update on restart, although i did that already (c) bizarre slowness in moving files from one folder to another on HD (i thought high sierra was supposed to make that better??) • ironically, MLRawViewer and RAWMagic Lite work just fine anyone else havin all kinds of trouble w high sierra??? what tha heck is going on here~! ?

hey if anyone wants to tell me they love me before the internet gets turned off nows your chance

omg i didnt even know there WAS playback~! ?

gorgeous! i LOVE the black and white with the limited motion... ive never seen anything quite like that before really really pretty and very interesting. graphic, striking. beautifully done, thanks for sharing! turns out that less may indeed be more lol

well guys, ive always been "pro net neutrality", but i really hadnt done my research until now, and guess what? i cant find any anti-net neutrality arguments that arent (a) total horseshit or (b) a blowjob for the cable companies "conservatives" are for neutrality as far as i can see in real life... everyone seems to be, unless your name is comcast. do ANY normal people oppose net neutrality??? then i found out about this: WTF – MILLIONS OF FAKE COMMENTS?!? https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/12/06/fake-names-and-c-used-fcc-internet-regulation-debate-public-comments-includes-usa-today-tech-columni/923576001/ is this just a case of the government being bought and paid for? or is there something deeper here about freedom? the whole thing seriously makes me want to puke. it sickens me. nevermind the fact that the few high speed providers in the US have a virtual monopoly already who disagrees? why? lets suss it out! p.s. i voted

hmm yeah thats pretty much what i thought ?

whats the real deal with the net neutrality situation? i havent been keeping up

i kno so stupid. why not offer $1.99 a month for better streaming? theyd make a ton of money

totally the future. i have zero interest in my films being "projected". im like a reverse tarantino – quentin hates this stuff so much lol

thats dope. really pretty. funny, on the surface it seems like this video has nothing in common with the beatles animation i posted above, and yet it does thats kewl, ykno we should have a thread for random stuff where you can post a sicc pic or video or whatever and have discussion w/o starting a new thread. kno what im sayin

as far as loops of motion, check out this dope music video. never heard of the band but it looks like it was made in after effects
