TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah. It's a great story. Wish it wasn't mine. Given how many notifications and reposts this has had I'm sure a few people have walked up to friend/sig-other, laughing and saying, "OMG, you have to read THIS poor sonovabitch's story." *sigh* she was such a beautiful redhead. 010

TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I know. There are many other stories, but that's the ultimate. Look, we won't delve into my psyche and childhood here, but take it as read I had a LOT of experiences which programmed me to expect rejection and scorn in any social situation - which I struggle with to this day in my mid-50s. 2170
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Right. In college, at a party I said, "I'm so clueless I wouldn't realize a woman was interested in me unless she grabbed my dick and said, 'you, me, naked tonight.'" At which point a woman in the group did exactly that. But, given I'd just said that, I assumed she was joking. Sigh. 4471
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I can think of two "ethical billionaires" - Jack Black and Dolly Parton (RIP). Neither are billionaires. But both could EASILY be billionaires if, between them, they hadn't donated close to $1.5 billion to children's hospitals, literacy foundations, and other charities, and just "grew their money." 050
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It was pretty cool of him. Remember, his initial eBay bid I'd already considered fair enough. He didn't have to send any additional $. Pretty sweet to know that machine had a greater than 26 year service life. He used it for his personal demo/sketch phase. Annoyed I've forgotten the man's name. 110
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Cool move. And - you guessed it - he was the producer at that studio still using it. Oh, we hugged that one out. 110
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Correction. That was a lot of two computers, color and mono monitors, and literally every peripheral, and software I had. I would be the Ste 4MB, so 1991-2016. Guy who bought it from eBay sent me another $200 dollars after he received it. "You deserve more for this," he wrote. /cont 110
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 04/10/2026On the other hand, I sold that unit in 2000 and came across it in an active studio in LA (it had a unique sticker - I made it which had never been removed because the buyer liked it). It was still in service - actually running my copy of Breakthru! Oh, in 2016. 1988-2016 is a helluva run. 110

TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Part of why I love Thunderbirds is the core premise is different from (almost) every other action show. Everything else is (good) group A fights (evil) group B. Thunderbirds just save people. And it's awesome. 010
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Save is ALWAYS to the left of wheel. Save Increment to the right of the wheel. First row above wheel is always (left to right), playhead to prior marker, playhead to prior event, start/pause, playhead to next event, playhead to next marker. The other 8 buttons change depending on task profile. 000
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They just work. Mine's been in service 22 years, so the build quality is solid. Software makes it easy to change profiles. I have multiple profiles in my NLE and it's easy to switch. Example - Profile A for multicam edits, Profile B for refined edits, each with some different key binds. /cont 100

TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The sequence where Godzilla is chasing the minesweeper in G-1 may be the single most intense sequence of the entire franchise. Gripping my seat saying to myself, "No way this movie kills that crew at this point of Act II." Didn't help. Gets me every time. And, I thought SHIN was horrifying. 240
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 29/09/2026All that said, there's also advantages from the director being VFX Supe, and a skilled artist himself, along with all the artists being in-house, not farming shots between ILM (US), DNEG (UK), and Weta (NZ) to comp all the work from the above back at Third Floor (US). 000
TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Budget for G-1 has been revised to $14 million. Now, that said, the VFX team was also quite underpaid. And the director had already done "Godzilla, the Ride," and re-used existing assets. And a lot of work in Blender - saving $ compared to thousands per license for, say, Maya. /cont 100

TriemVisual @triem23.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Hopefully "Time of the Doctor" will place high/low/whichever is worse on the list of dishonor, because it's just dire... At least Hell Bent had Rachal Talalay - one of the best directors working - to try and elevate a terrible script. 020
