And I imagined you running around in a Boba Fett outfit irl :[

i am disappointed.

[Cortexian]

i have a Boba Fett shirt, but that's all :(

[Reaper Man]

Oh great, another e-peen thread. I wish people would, y'know, discuss things, this being a forum and all. All I'm seeing lately is "look at me and my stuff" threads.

What do you expect people to say concerning this thread beyond "Oh, cool." or sling insults? Honestly, it's pointless.

[blind]

my finger was just in a girls bum





discuss.

Sadly, this has more room for discussion than Freelancer's initial post.






Welp,

Did your finger come out dirty? :v:

[Cortexian]

Sadly, it's quite apparent that you all missed the fact that I asked a question. "Guess what I'm doing".

If this was a "look at all my stuff" thread, you'd know.

It's pretty much identical.

[Donut]

wireless internet has been around for a while bro.

ps: you answered the "guess what im doing" question in the OP.

[StankBacon]

ugh.

[Rook]

It's DusterBusters laptop actually... :golfclap:

Who?

[InnerGoat]

Ugh do you really trust your nice new camera to a toy like that tripod? Usually people take care of their stuff...

[Cortexian]

Not my tripod, not my laptop, not my iPhone... The tripod was 100% stable, I'd use my camera on it again in that setup in a heartbeat.

Also, nothing I posted so far has anything to do with what we were doing.

Being the women? Aka not driver :D

Yep, all roads point to you having turned a toilet into a car seat which are now using. You are hereby know as the shittest poster to post posts while posting a log. I hope you gave the driver (sounds like maybe the pope or some other holy figure) a curtousy flush.

Your posts have no value on these forums (never mind +1 to your post count which can be easily disabled)

yep,


nothing I posted
sounds like a good reason to stop posting then! hth

I'm posting this from a laptop, show of hands who absolutely gives a f~ck

[Wakeboy1337]

Well, I'll be the first to ask. Freelancer what were you and the driver doing with that camera in the car and mobile internet on the laptop?

[Dwood]

Go right ahead

Someone go reset ALL postcounts PLUS rep. :3

[Cortexian]

do it faggots.

I'll post the video we made after it's rendered...

[Reaper Man]

Sadly, it's quite apparent that you all missed the fact that I asked a question. "Guess what I'm doing".

If this was a "look at all my stuff" thread, you'd know.
"Guess what I'm doing" is such an open-ended question.

Judging by the pictures and your posting history, the answer to the above question will be you bragging about something.

This forum is about discussing things and helping others, not discussing you.

I find it hilarious how you try to play it cool whenever somebody says anything hostile. You act indifferent towards other members and the staff, I really don't see why you're here. If you want to go boast about your equipment and show things off, go post your shenanigans on MLIA and go post your gadgets on some gadget forum. Communities like that are all about showing off.

If you have something to share every so often, fair enough. But almost everything you post about is "look at me, look at my stuff." Is your self esteem that low that you need the recognition of people you'll probably never see in real life?

Additionally, when other members share their stuff, they generally adopt an attitude of: "hey guys, I got this new thing, it's pretty cool, anybody else have similar and have any advice about it?" whereas you adopt something like this: "Look at me, look at my things, I know everything about the this thing, I'm so cool." When other members post threads like that, it's pretty obviously sarcastic, however your posts clearly are not.

TL;DR: Social etiquette, get some or get out.

Anyway, directly relating to this thread, you could have given an explanation about what you were doing, which, to be honest would be more impressive than "look at me and this stuff, guess what we're doing." I'm assuming you did some sort of DSLR video while driving. That or you could have waited until you had something to show as a result and then posted that alongside the setup pictures.

[Cortexian]

You're still not getting that this has absolutely nothing to do with gadget or skill boasting. This entire thread was about trying to get community discussion going, speculating on what I was doing creating with the setup I showed in the pictures.

Instead you all took up a biased "oh look Freelancer is just posting about his shit again because he's an elitist prick" instead of actually reading the thread like a normal person. I honestly don't see how you could of all misinterpreted my OP, it all looks pretty damn clear to me!

It's obvious that you're all too dense to look beyond your current stereotype biased attitude, so I'll just ignore all the irrelevant comments in this thread from here on out. I'll reply to actual guesses and responses to the finalized video when I post it (take that as a hint if you wish).

You're still not getting that this has absolutely nothing to do with gadget or skill boasting. This entire thread was about trying to get community discussion going, speculating on what I was doing creating with the setup I showed in the pictures. So you basically want the community to talk about what you were doing with some set of equipment? That's not really a community discussion as it is simply a discussion about you. Perhaps if there were an actual product involved, it might be okay, but it seems to just be pictures of you and some shit.

Instead you all took up a biased "oh look Freelancer is just posting about his shit again because he's an elitist prick" instead of actually reading the thread like a normal person. I honestly don't see how you could of all misinterpreted my OP, it all looks pretty damn clear to me! I dunno how it works for you, but from what I've examined over the years, if everyone misinterprets something in the exact same manner, it was probably done incorrectly. You're basically going "2x+3y=10, find x" when you were expecting your students to find y all along.

It's obvious that you're all too dense to look beyond your current stereotype biased attitude, so I'll just ignore all the irrelevant comments in this thread from here on out. I'll reply to actual guesses and responses to the finalized video when I post it (take that as a hint if you wish).This is going to be a very empty thread for you. And, I can't believe I/we have to say this AGAIN FOR THE MILLIONTH GODDAMN TIME, if you don't like the general community, why on Earth are you here? Don't you have some "prestigious" site to be installing dumb plugins for?

TL;DR: Social etiquette, get some or get out. This poorly executed closer made my brain hurt..

No. :maddowns:

:neckbeard:

We actually recorded video though and sped it up to 1000% in Premiere.

[Cojafoji]

My daddy always said that if someone misinterprets something that you say, it's your fault.

Also, post the freaking video already...

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Amazing...who would have guessed.

[Cortexian]

It's been rendering, Premiere CS3 is taking forever for some reason.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

maybe you should turn off power saving...mbmb

No because we weren't using Wifi, we were using actual 3G so there was internet everywhere in the city!

Anyways, unlocked because there's something to discuss now!
iA3RDQ5ZU5k

That's what we were able to get using the setup shown in the OP pics. We used the video mode on the T1i at 720p/30FPS and then sped all the clips up to 1000% in Adobe Premiere. Next time we get together we're going to try something similar except as an actual time lapse (take a picture every X seconds and make a slide show style clip in Premiere).

Questions/Comments/Suggestions?

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Like I said on YouTube...

Canadian roads are shitty it seems xD Maybe try a smoother suspension? A real highway would have been nice. The camera sometimes is to shaky.

Now that you do single images I would make the shutter speed higher so you get those faded lights. (or am I wrong here)

[Cortexian]

We were mostly driving around communities and that's why the roads were very bumpy (lots of uncleared snow still). The last clip in the video is on a brand new highway, so it's a little better.

We had a GMC Yukon for that run, I'll try using our Buick Park Avenue for the next one using stills, the suspension in the Buick is really smooth so it should turn out a bit better.

We'll need to find a good balance for the shutter speed, too high and we won't let enough light in, too low and the images will come out blurred do to car motion. I believe ISO is what we'll have to play with to get the lights and stuff properly in the image (could you clarify what "faded lights" you're referring too)?

[Kornman00]

get a Mustang or some other american muscle car

go on the highway

and do it

so the cars lights make it look like you're going warp speed

go

more points if you fly to germany and do it on the autobahn. speed limits non-existant and all.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

maybe he shouldn't...passing from the right and not clearing the way for incoming vehicles from the right :P

Police is very harsh about everything here.

[thehoodedsmack]

Would have been better with the camera mounted on the outside of the vehicle. Of course, this may have led to problems during the car-wash scene. At the very least, get a shot without the rear-view mirror. The driver is distracting, and your viewers may get bored of watching the roads, and focus on his spastic motions.

[Cortexian]

Yea, we were worried about that from the get-go... Unfortunately the Yukon has a very narrow windshield since the dash is so gigantic and the mirror is right in the way...

When we go out next we'll look at alternate tripod mounting locations in the Buick, perfectly center between the two front seats doesn't seem to work so well...

[FreedomFighter7]

Um... masturbating?

Someone had to say it. :D

[Donut]

^ normally i would say "read the thread"... but um, dont.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

when did you film that

cause i was at crowfoot center yesterday night heh

[Atty]

cad you live near freelancer

do you know of any leads on the great sign debacle

[Kornman00]

omg atty, we all know snaf used his black super powers to teleport himself to lancer's house and post that sign

gwtp

[Cortexian]

when did you film that

cause i was at crowfoot center yesterday night heh
It was filmed Friday night, around 7:45pm - 11:00pm.

I know it was CAD who put the sign on my lawn guys game over.

[JackHolez]

How confident are you about that? :realsmug:

Yay now I know where Freelancer lives. I will plant signs all over his front yard and leave cat food everywhere.

[Cortexian]

Very.

[Heathen]

Snaf is black?

I always just thought he was whatever color http://www.modacity.net/forums/styles/smilies/brownsmugb32.gif is.

Which is brown.

[Cortexian]

I'm pretty sure he could ask any of the senior members, I'm sure StankBacon still has all the stalker photos of my house/address/street intersection/map coordinates.

Automatic ftl. Get a real mans car.

And manual transmissions are a thing of the past when it comes to anything except racing.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Nope the mpg is lower on manual transmissions. 50% of the cars here have manual transmissions.

Real mans car.

[Cortexian]

Uh, you're doing it wrong... Higher/more miles to the gallon is better, unless you don't care about running out of nonrenewable resources in the future (in which case you are a humongous douche bag).

I know you're just being a smart ass, but still.

[Rook]

Not even lol

[EX12693]

Hell I have a 2001 Honda Civic (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) and I get about 38 mpg. That's better than my dad's car, which is newer, but has a manual transmission. Automatic ftw.


Oh and Freelancer I do know what area of Calgary you live in. Can't find your exact house though. Just wait... I'll look for a jeep.

[Horns]

Unless your dad's car was also a 2001 honda civic you can't really compare them. Hell for all we know your dad could be driving a brand new Pete.

[StankBacon]
