gabikak (10/06/2015) [-] Really nice video.
I don't get it why FJ prefers webms over simple YT links. YouTube videos never get to the frontpage, even tho converting and uploading the video is just plain disgusting click theft.

willgum (10/07/2015) [-] well back in the day YouTube videos didn't load for me on other websites so they were kind of a hassle also they don't or didn't look that visually appealing because the video was small and the margins were huge and the play button took up most of the screen space it looked cumbersome and clunky that's why I always skipped them anyway.

furiousmarshmellow (10/07/2015) [-] Well, for me, something is wrong with Google Chrome's...Google...system. SafeSearch is broken, in that I can't turn it off, and now I either can't search up "risque" searches or even watch most videos on Youtube because of "Restricted Mode," so WebMs/MP4s are the next best thing.

bigswingingrichard (10/07/2015) [-] for me, webms are choppy, buffer infested piles of poopy. They hardly work, and when they do its slow and I have to refresh the page a few times. Webm comments almost never work, even less than content.

Every youtube embed is now a webm/mp4 for me, pic relateds, plus I can right click save as the video.
Webms are the ******* best though. People hate youtube links because the google player sucks donkey dicks. Yes, it's designed to work on every platform, but it works well on none. Even worse for our poor mobile users who might need to open it in a separate app.

brvtalguy (10/06/2015) [-] Well, seems like I've been wrong about CGI all that time after all. I thought the good CGI is when something unreal is made to look almost real, but it turns out that the best digital effects are often the ones that we don't notice. I'm glad someone made things clear for me and others about that.

theimmortalemperor (10/06/2015) [-] Personally I hate the transformers CGI mostly because it seems impossible to properly tell what's going on. It seems like there is no proper focus so it looks like two smartphones trying to have rough sex in a blender.

imostlyroll (10/07/2015) [-] Tell me about it, the main reason I loved transformers as a kid was because it was neat to see how something so big would bend and twist to form something smaller. In the movies, it looked like they just said "Screw it, they are just shards of metal that can change shape and vaguely resemble their vehicle mode."

thefallenlord (10/06/2015) [-] That's design and choreography issue, not CGI issue per se.

theimmortalemperor (10/06/2015) [-] There was no focus point in the animation style, everything was in the foreground so it was all too clear. That seems more animation related to me
#14 to #13
-
thefallenlord (10/06/2015) [-] While that might be possible I still think has more to do with the design of transformers themselves. They seem to lack really distinct silhouettes to make them instantly recognizable. On top of that they don't really fight, they wrestle and tackle. To me it seems like two piles of vaguely human-shaped locomoted garbage piles crashing into each other and the adjusted scenery. They don't seem out of place, they are just *********** to look at.

thefallenlord (10/06/2015) [-] Oh I'm not sure if it's worth beating that particular dead horse any further. When it comes to Michael Bay, I'd say The Rock, Bad Boys and MAYBE The Island were somewhat good movies... rest is just utter trash

piepieisgood (10/06/2015) [-] Warning Opinion: If Gandalf cries because of green screens dont use them. green screens take away the feeling for the actors ruining how real the acting feels not so much how well the environment looks.

drzix (10/07/2015) [-] They don't make movies to please the actors. The actors are doing jobs and in most cases get payed a hell of a lot of money for doing so. As much as i like I like Ian McKellen, he should have got over himself, finished the job without complaint and then collected his enormous paycheck

capinsquiggles (10/07/2015) [-] Under regular circumstances I would agree with you, but he was in all the other Lord of the Rings films too where it was basically a family working together to make a movie, The Hobbit was completely different in its formation and I'm sure he was very let down by it based on his previous experience.. obviously he still sucked it up though since the movies finished, but it is perfectly fine for him to not be happy about it

capinsquiggles (10/07/2015) [-] You can have actors working together and green screens too, just on the set for the hobbit they didn't so they could make the height easier instead of using strange camera angles

Personally, I'm a fan of practical effects. I like CGI but I feel like movies are relying on it TOO heavily these days. I've seen movies where a guy was walking down the street and his environment was all CGI. How hard was it to film some guy walking down the street?? If you want CGI to enhance the practical effects or create things that don't exist, that's fine. But I feel like too many movies are using it to create things that do exist.

Jabberwocky (10/07/2015) [-] No, because the Academy's attitudes changed drastically and now Special Effects Oscars go almost exclusively to CGI-heavy films.

kurusudarling ONLINE (10/06/2015) [-] just realized the wolverines claws shouldnt spark when struck together should they? seeing as sparks are the combustion of the metal flakes and the adamantium, if indestructible shouldnt produce sparks

That would also mean that eventually (as Wolverine is immortal) His claws/skeleton would eventually "disintegrate" being exposed to whatever oxidizes it. But i'm certain that in comic books they have a storyline in the incredibly distant future (millions of years or some thing) where He's still there with his claws. And seeing as how he "works" with his claws so often, if it truly oxidized then no doubt by then they would be gone. (Because how often he uses the claws + how easily he just sparked his claws, it would mean the rate of oxidization is rapid enough to have a perceivable effect)

His body doesn't naturally produce it, it was a large one time transplant replacing all his bones. So unless more is transferred into his body, eventually his outside claws will cease to exist. His inside skeleton will continue existing though as long as he doesn't "open up" his skin to reveal the skeleton to the air. It should be safe inside the sealed environment of the body.

That's generalizing, "he heals so he can heal anything". Couldn't take a skin graft off of him, put it on a person of the same bloodtype and give them his power as his skin never deteriorates but will spread?
universe. That's actually more likely than his Human body creating the hardest metal in the universe.

zomaru ONLINE (10/07/2015) [-] I remember a comic where he fought and lost against Hulk, Literally ripped in half and still regenerated after a long time of rest.
If that isn't cannon, whatever the hell cannon is, what about the recent movie where he was shot in the head, his skull regenerated, meaning his ability has to at least be able to manipulate the element. Perhaps the process only works because of the structure of adamantium allows it to grow more of itself when in contact with something in this bloodstream that causes his healing factor.

kerfufflemachtwo (10/07/2015) [-] As far as I know, in the comics, he has never shown any ability to regenerate the adamantium on his own. If he had lost any, it was replaced from an outside source. In fact, his healing factor should work faster than it does, but his body is constantly fighting poisoning from the adamantium. Which is why X-23 heals faster than him. Only her claws are coated. The rest of her bones are normal.
The movie thing was just a plothole.

I was trying to lead up to the first point with "the lore tends to be messed up and innacurate, especially in movies" but your examples were a good source, Forgot about those moments.
I, personnally, would still say it's the comic/movei making up what it wants, but I've got no true explanation for that, as it still breaks some laws of physics/anatomy (even more so than the mutants normally do).
Sp in the end, want to call it even?
Accepting your points as viable, but personally finding them BS, sound like a deal?

awkwardcow (10/07/2015) [-] Fun fact, my VFX teacher actually worked on Flubber, and I'm pretty sure he would 100% agree with all of this. He at one point worked about 16 hours on a 3 second scene of a car alarm going off while Flubber flew by. Funny thing is, the thing he worked 16 hours on was the car alarm and the effects surrounding it, not the 3D jello thing. He suggested it that the car lights blink while Flubber flies by and they wanted it. He spent 16 hours just adding in the lights around the car just right, and you look at the scene for maybe 3 seconds. He's super proud of the work he did on it and rightfully so. VFX artists don't get the credit they should, but I feel they shouldn't or else the reality behind it will be unraveled to the audience.
