Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

Usually in my production company we use proxies, you lose quality in the previsualisation but it's easier for your pc and the software to edit.

Then when you finish the editing just replace them with the original videos and start praying for the render to not explote your machine

Darkwatch it's a gothic shooter with vampires, ghosts and demons, the story is lame but the gameplay is great

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter....

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

A man says "I'm having a great time on our vacation in Spain..." A bunch of people in pointed hoods start walking down the street. The man says "OH GOD! IT'S THE KLAN!" His friend grabs him by the shoulder and says "relax dude. It's just Catholics." The man exclaims "OH GOD! CATHOLICS!"

The idea of Heaven is class warfare. Offering the poor the promise of abundance in death, is the easiest way to make them gleefully obedient to the men emptying their pockets.
