Hey cheers yeah its very Clerks for sure, making art was such a survival technique for me in this job as I'm sure it was for Smith in that shop too. Yeah check out the show if you can it's interesting see a bit of the underbelly of Irish society!

@ I found it and watched a bunch of it, I love it.

@@failedfilmmaker ah wow thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! Sharing stuff with new people is the best part of this platform

hi cheers, thanks yeah my next video will be getting back to it and I'll be talking about some of the pretty cool (I think) motion capture we did

Thanks Bill, its more about time though and making the time to commit to it than anything else

@@thomasquainfilm The animation looks really good, I second this 3rd season.

@@failedfilmmaker haha I am starting to think about it, I'll have to find my notes!

Thanks so much!

Ah cool yeah I did reckon some of your early films must have been MiniDV too, I loved it it was a cool format I actually had a very hard time switching to card in 2011 as I really didn't trust it cause I couldn't see the tape lol. No better times than when you left the house with a few MiniDV's in your pocket!

yeah the Welles thing is definitely interesting too, have you seen the film? He kind of is a corrupt cop so the tentacles thing is a good call as he does have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies. Also the character is kind of a force of nature. I think a lot about that tree lol

@ I haven’t actually seen it which is weird. I do know about it though. There was an awesome Hitchcock breakdown series on TH-cam that the name completely escapes me but broke down his episodes he directed of AH presents. It’s really good, I’ll remember the name and send it to you. It reminds me of this tree/brush discussion

@@failedfilmmaker yeah do I'll check it out

haha thanks I'm trying!

Thanks Bill! Hope the holidays are still treating you well!

Thanks! Yeah winding is definitely the right word! Feels like the hardest thing in the world sometimes just to do one thing

Thanks Aidan really appreciate that, hope all is well

yeah would be great Im always trying to find more people in cork to make stuff with

Thanks yah its exciting!

Thanks Jamie really appreciate it! Hope all is well in Vancouver!

Better believe it gurl!

Thanks Aidan can't wait to share it with you!

Thanks man, appreciate that. I'm excited for you to see it. We must catch up next year

Couldn't have done it with you!

Thanks Bill really appreciate that! Hope all is good with you

Ah thanks for watching! No there was no laptop bag included unfortunately!

Wow thank you so much, yes it is becoming a magnum opus

said it by mistake! Katana was the previous model!

hehe

Yeah I should have done proxies I didn't I'm pretty embarrassed about how I handled all this to be honest sometimes I'm still acting like I'm dealing with 1080p footage when really you have to alter your workflow so much for 4K RAW. I switched because I wanted the better graphics card for some Blender stuff and my friend was using a similar computer to this and she recommended

@ If you are using premiere you can still get proxies made. The built in premiere proxy system I avoided for a long time but it’s actually quite impressive. It will make tiny files of your Raw4k but still utilize the 4K frame so you don’t have to resize anything after when you go to render. Highly recommended

@@failedfilmmaker yeah I'm using premier I think honestly I will just stick with it this time as I can't face going back to do that and I think the new laptop can handle the BRAW files but yeah proxies are must for next time. I've really only begun to understand how powerful and adjustable RAW is as I've gotten in color grading all this time I've wondered why they were so big

@ Yah raw stuff is a beast

@ You actually could do the proxies even now with no disruption. Just need to let the proxies render

it is to be fair, when your dealing with 4K raw it makes 2TB look like 500GB yeah nightmare, I'll have to see what I'm buying next as I'm totally broke right now

yeah there's been so may obstacles I feel like I should have reached out to others soon who have had to deal with similar issues. I guess some people have to learn the hard way lol

Thank you! Yes I will

Thanks so much Bill yeah it looks like we had fun anyway as always its about finding a balance between ambition and what you can actually pull off

No problem!

Thanks so much!

Thank you! I'm excited!

Thanks Bill me too! Exciting times ahead!

I didn't want to say them in the video as I amn't really a computer guy but here they are. The fans are already louder than I expected and I've just been using it for Blender donuts so far Processor Description: Intel Core i9-13980HX Graphics description: RTX 4080

@@thomasquainfilm That's not enough specs to satisfy me. What ram and hard drive are we dealing with? Yeah, that happens when you try to fit desktop components into a laptop body you need smaller fans working overtime to deal with the heat. I'd try a few sample jobs in Blender and see how annoying the fan gets when you're pushing the laptop to its limits. Send it back if you can't live with it and get a desktop with better cooling, liquid cooling preferably. Or a Mac Studio...

@@rioter182 32GB DDR5/RAM and 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Home yeah I can live with it its just surprising I'm sure I'll tune it out as long as the fan noise is normal lol thats all I was worried about

genuinely more excited about the box lol

absolutely man, constant small incremental steps forward

Thanks so much Jane!

Thats right hopefully it'll pay off some day! Thanks for watching Bill!

Its such a good light yeah! Godox seems a good brand but apparently they break faster than apature

Thanks! yeah the opening scene is such a great vibe setter!

Thanks so much! Yeahs loads more videos to come between now and Christmas, I have a lot to get through!
