Army of Darkness: The Medieval Deadit [Cancelled]
Time

Hello everyone! I’ve completed a lot of work on this, and when it gets closer to being finished, I’ll get around to posting a finalized changes list (which won’t be very long). I’m posting now to ask for feedback from anyone who cares. This is my currently finished edit of the “Little Ashes” sequence, which had a couple of shots removed and had the music reinserted:

My sister and I were cleaning up the back porch, and a heavy piece of wood fell on one of our kittens. I think his neck was broken, but he’s still alive. There’s no money for a vet, so I don’t know what to do about him.

Goodness, that’s the kind of thing I’ve been paranoid about happening to one of my kittens. I’ll pray for the little fella.

I don’t even remember that story if you shared it, sorry about that. I was talking about the time you said there was catshit on your floor and you didn’t clean up. Sorry if you thought I was making fun of your dying cat.

Don’t feel bad I’m not begging for sympathy or anything. You made a joke about my cat peeing and it made me chuckle because that actually happened. As far as the actual cat goes, I still miss him a lot (I was raised with him), but I’m just glad we got him put down before he suffered too long. It was pretty bad near the end.

EDIT: I have a long and unfortunate history with dead pet cats.

Am I the only person who hates the Romulan redesign? Vulcans and Romulans don’t need to look all that different. They have distinctive features. The Klingon change makes sense because they were originally just humans with brown grease paint smeared on their faces, and… beards. Creating distinctive features for the Klingons just makes them as distinctive as everyone else already was. Vulcans are Humans with elf ears, angry eyebrows, and pale skin. Orion are green Humans. Andorians are blue Humans with antennae. Klingons are now Humans with forehead ridges. I don’t see why Vulcans need to change any more than the rest of them do.

60i (or more accuratly 59.94i) basically means 60 frames of motion crammed into a 30fps signal. The odd lines are recorded first then half a frame later the even lines are recorded and so on and so forth. thanks to magic science stuff that was worked out back in the 50s.

Interlacing doesn’t work well on web video so upscaling a 60i to a 60p preserves all 60 half frames of motion as full frames, giving that nice smooth motion effect. This is what it would have looked like on CRT TVs back in the day.

I’m lost. How can something shot at 30 fps (interlaced) run at 60 fps (progressive) without just duplicating every frame?

Edit: nevermind I understand now.
