She...doesn't express surprise at all. In fact she says quite the opposite. What video did you watch?
I see this gif getting a lot of use.
Super quick and dirty, i'll do a cleaner one later.
Yeah, I thought a few good uses for it will likely come up. Everyone is of course welcome to use that one, i'll likely do a nicer version of it a little later on when I've the time.
This was the most surprising part to me. I expect this kind of behaviour with third world countries, not freaking New Zealand. I guess even the first world has a third world.
Well, yeah. That's adulthood.
Is that really your take away, that shes angry? It seems pretty far from the Lindsey that I watched, I saw someone who was passionate about what she loved, and wanted to journey as far as she was capable of to discover if there was more behind The Hobbit trilogy than she initially saw - thats the crux of these videos, her passion, and why they are quite powerful, personal, almost biographic, and through that plenty of people will discover the very nature of not just the films but the intent of the studios and the strong-arming of a nation that happened behind them.
Are you one of those people who cannot recognize emotions? There's no anger in anything Lindsay has ever done (in her vids). At worst some frustration. No anger.
That's kind of what struck me -- shouldn't someone who's spent time in the film industry have had some idea behind the purpose of offshore productions? On some level it has always been about reducing labor costs, not dealing with expensive union'ed up Hollywood stage workers, and trying to see what kind of sweetheart tax deals local governments will give you. At some point my criticism is kinda inconsequential because the point of the video is to inform its viewers about these practices, not provide a 100% authentic portrayal of Ellis's discovery and emotional journey. Something about feigned ignorance just always kinda gets my goat even when it's not particularly relevant to the subject.
I didn't say she wasn't allowed nostalgia. It just struck me that she plays up the childhood angle for a film that came out when she was 17. In the second video Ellis joke-mocks her gal-pal's enthusiasm for Hobbiton, commenting "You were 27 when these came out!" as she runs around the sets like a hyperactive child.
Fuck, I cried while watching that. Whew.
Its a fantastic video, probably my favourite that shes done just because it is quite emotional and made me appreciate Guardians Vol.2 in a different way than i did on my first viewing. James Gunn even left a comment on that video, though very brief.
Nope. Then again I didn't care for Red Dead Redemption. Haven't bought a Rockstar game since Table Tennis, and their labour exploitation plays a part of the reason other than generally not liking the game design and gamefeel of their open world games.
I think it's more disingenuous than that. It's the "U MAD?" internet culture in full swing: Portray any sort of disagreement as blind, irrational fury because that makes it easier to personally dismiss.
It could be scheduling conflicts but honestly I believe it's because of the decision to film at 48fps. They couldn't use the neat perspective tricks they used before to film hobbits and normal sized people in the same scene and make the hobbits look smaller because that looks more obvious at high framerates, so they had to just film the two separately and CGI it in.
Also 3D. The forced perspective trick wouldn't work with 3D gimmicks.
You're actually correct I think I was mostly wrong, the high FPS didn't impact it much, it was the filming in 3D that made those perspective tricks essentially impossible.
