So... The VOP development has stalled a bit again. Mostly as I try to learn to code myself. And also, because a new focus of efforts in the reverse engineering is a stripped down project I call PAniCam. Like the VOP, this will be fully destructive, but focuses only on being an Animation Camera.

Thought I'd get back into reading physical books so I opted to get some nice and easy breasy reading material. Heard lots of good things about this one in particular! #HouseOfLeaves

This here skit aired 1991. The Doors disbanded 73, that's 18 years before. We are now in 2026. An equally 'vintage" band for us would have disbanded in 2008 This potential The Doors fan is way closer to The Doors than he is to us. I don't know how to handle that fact. youtu.be/5xillqqt0Y0

finished setting up indieweb links on jmalmsten.com . It's actually kind of old school fun to hit the ? to see what delightful silliness people are cooking up. But... didn't I used to have a Links page? I need to look into that!

close... but not exactly what I wanted... hm... need to sleep on this one. I have some thoughts on how the uneven top could be done. But that thought involves 3D shapes. Which the #VOP cannot do.

Just realized that a famous early 90s title sci fi action sequence was done with a technique very similar to the one in Superman (1978). Initial test here with just a holdout matte and an outline matte is very promising but I need to get back home so I can remove the glow filter from the VOP...

Really... if someone has a link to a guide that makes it so that Resolve is able to RELIABLY get non-crackly sound recording from a UMC204HD on Fedora linux... then PLEASE tell me... because I'm giving up on this troubleshooting for the day.

You know. I am still such a smalltimer in the business of the social medias and content creation that whenever I see follower or subscriber count go down, I kind of wish there at least was the common courtesy of a dramatic exit so I knew what pushed the person over the edge. I want to know.

Isn't it a bit ironic that there never was a #MaxHeadroom production aimed at #IMAX venues where framing had to factor in extra headroom to prevent neck strain for viewers? #TotallyOriginalThought

I'm admittedly not versed that well in the #Lantern lore but... I find it odd that I'm watching the new show and asking myself repeatedly... "We sure these the good guys?" Because all this does feel a whole lot like a super villain story arc to me.

Whenever one looks at the internet and laments over the deathness of it all as AI rewrites history to mediocrity. We can at least find solace that somewhere in Japan, as long as one particular girl has her nose and two flutes, there is hope. youtu.be/37qoLjeCrAQ?...

I thought that tonight might as well be as good night as any to finally get to rewatching Rocky Horror Picture Show. First time now since that one time I saw it on a grainy dim TV broadcast in the 90s. Now in glorious HDR, HD, Technicolor and 5.1 blasting sound. I've been missing out...

It may be just me showing my age and ignorance. But Snapchat is probably one of the worst User Experience for a social media I have ever had. Any time I open it. I literally cannot close it fast enough again. And no. I have never opened Tik Tok. All I see from that platform keeps me far far away.

I must confess. I missed the story on Trump, the catering truck and Air Force one. Nowhere have I found context to the event that combined those three things. And at this point I'm too afraid to ask, so I'll just wait for the Josh Johnsson recap.

Question for the void. Which motion picture standards institute decided that short form video content HAS to be vertical 9:16? I really want to know. And I also want to sue them for the heinous crimes they inflicted on all we have ever learned about the arts of visual composition.

One observation here. My bluetooth headphones and my home cinema system both always take a second or so to realize sound is coming before they let it through. And almost all youtube videos start speaking on frame one. So... I practically never catch the first words anyone says in a video. #FWP

Movie pitch idea: Sicario: A Star Wars Story. Where we follow a brutal, disillutioned imperial operative, sent into rebel areas to destabilize and rile up the locals. Basically, a Luthen, but on the wrong side. Option price: $4.5 million Anyone know a Disney exec?

A thought, that's probably not novel outside my head, materialized. That the current trend of plucking in famous youtubers to make striking movies resembles a bit how Orson Welle's, the theatre and playwright director and prolific radio voice got his infamous contract with RKO and made Citizen Kane.
