I guess it gives away the joke of the scene... but honestly who cares. I worked hard on it and I want to show it off now.
It's a bit of a sore spot for me though because I initially did a cut of it to the whole space jam music and it synced up and was nice to watch. Then I edited it to smooth it out and get it to fit my newer ideas for it and wanted to preserve my first version of it, then I in a quick thoughtless move hit save and for all eternity I'll never see the first ever version of this scene... just like that. That's the drama of editing or any kind of computer stuff. Unreliable and wonky and just everything is final with computers, there's no reverse some times, practically all times. It just is a cold brutal thing when a computer freezes or cuts out after you busted your ass on something. The pain I've gone through losing projects, just unbearable... soul gutting stuff.
well here's how this scene will go...

Jon Favreau will helm the star wars tv show
Why not Frank Oz or Hamill even. Too old? I guess, Jon's cool decent choice. He's not going to really bring anything amazing or mind blowing to the table, that's my only issue.
Well, still here if you need Lando, though I can kinda see where they're going with this. Since he's worked with Glover on Lion King and has pocketed a lot of bread for disney over the years, they'll likely be happy to have Glover reprise his Lando for cameos or regular appearances on the show... whatever..
that all hinges on the reception of Solo, if it kills it or falls flat. We'll see. I'm just going to say I'm here, I'll do it, sign me up if you want a lando who's actually a match for Billy Dee.

Bout to get interesting
Buckle up. Not only have I now downloaded battlefront and will be fully getting deep into the game and becoming an elite player, but I'm ready to finish this damn movie that's been delayed forever.
As an artist, I guess I'm a little crazy. It's driving me personally somewhat mad to keep dreaming of finishing this project, but that's me, OCD bastard. Indeed that's my condition, to not complete it wouldn't make sense to me at least right now.
Gonna get deep with it, bull dose through a giant rough cut of the stuff I need, then go see black panther on friday.
I want to support black panther because it's just the way things are. If blacks had equal footing in the cinematic world, I probably would just bootleg it and not give a toss about it. I didn't give two spits about Spidey homecoming, but yeah... there aren't any black supey movies. And I don't see why not. There's a wealth of opportunity to use black art, black life, whatever to create great movies and characters. It's gone too long not recognizing black people as potentially worthy of inclusion in the world of high cinema.
Look at me... struggling to knock out this static shock movie. I'm 31 years old. All things considered I should have a budget, the means, and all the necessary tools to make a big classy nice live action static shock, but yeah see what I'm saying. Things like Black Panther are opening that door. Studios will likely now take a static movie into consideration. People will see a super hero movie with a black lead... it's possible. And I know about Hancock, but that wasn't about a super hero, it was more a parody or whatever the f that movie was. I mean an established character...
Snowing like hell right now, glad I stayed in today. Gonna not do a damn thing, f going out in this weather.
Alright, time to begrudgingly do this mountain of work I'm looking at right now...

well that's that
What was that, like 2 days of straight work on this one scene... good grief...
I'm out, gonna try to make sense of this and rough cut it today then fine tune it tomorrow...
That's 1 down 5 to go before this is over, but this scene was particularly difficult because it was such a pain to figure out how to get the shots to look right and what I dreaded happening actually did, I did not fully green screen myself due to the lack of equipment to keep the green screen set up high above me. So of course the result was me having to painstakingly rotoscope my head to fit the scenes as all was there was a big chunk of the sky behind me which I stupidly thought I would just let blend in with the sky as it is... no, didn't work out that way. Frame by frame, had to move the mask points to keep things somewhat decent and it still came out crap...
I'm just done with the heavy lifting. The little touch ups and fine tuning is all that's needed and maybe I can edit it cleverly enough to not even use most of the awfully green screened footage. I strive for realism with these things and when they don't work, yeah sucks...
But it was like just endless and I hated doing this shit. It will be a good gag in the final film so I'm hoping for it to work, what do I know...
Now comes the rest of the editing... I got 5 more sequences to do... They are not going to be as intense as this, that's the only good part about it. I will still be doing some flying stuff as of course static will be flying through all kinds of stuff and I hope my green screens I've captured will not look too shitty. But yunno, at least it's just a cut and paste and light it scenario. No adding other crap or attemtping to craft a shot I have no business trying to do, it's just going to be what I know is not impossible for me...
damn

Hardly working
My preferred way to operate honestly...
Internet is just a busy world isn't, always stuff going on. I can see why people take vacations from it. It's just too much info, too fast, too crazy. It's like being in a mental hospital, which I've been to once back in the good ol days.... interesting time. Well, when you do go to a mental ward, every day is a mystery and you never know when the hell it's all going to go to shit and you get surprised by something new or bad or whatever. It's like being back in that situation, the web. I mean, every single day there's a new doomsday end of the world hyperbolic thing to bitch about to the world online...
Just chill. It's bad in the world, I know, but don't blast that news every day.... every... day...
You ain't going to change nuthin.
Which is why I like watching Jim Lee's art streams and stuff. Just a pro peacefully working on a page or something while giving advice to other artists. It's actually what the internet could be, a mini-pocket university where pros work and collaborate on projects and give tips... what a concept.
Not this whirlwind of BS horrible news about what's happening in the dark parts of the world as is the norm.
I'm not saying I want to live in a bubble or safe space, but I don't want to live in hell either constantly. Balance, that's the key.
Working on my own project and it's a goddamn beast to figure out how to do something I thought would be easy as pie, but it's tougher than I hoped it'd be. Falling through the sky with cloud rushing by. It's very very tough to get it right, but I'm not going to give up on it... just stressed out by the constant failures to get the shot to look ok...

About the Solo plagiarism
As much as some online quasi-lawyers are trying desperately to spin it as being a major coincidence, NO IT'S NOT. Disney is plagiarizing an artist's work for the han solo movie posters:
This one dude on facebook is defending the solo posters with a passion as if he's got personal stake in them. It's like someone trying to argue the world is flat and being totally serious about it. Gotta love internet keyboard spinners. Eating a pack of cheetos and kicking ass online as is the damn norm.
What do I think. I'm done with this movie. This tears it. I was struggling with wether to see it. With whether it was going to surprise me and be more than a cash grab. It is.
It's just going to be a bland, ron howard on cruise control movie...
He doesn't care about it. But he sure knows the business and money comes first, always has, always will. Why should I see this movie then? What's in it for me as a fan?
If they don't give a toss about the fans, then don't pander to us and hope we show up, only to try to weasel money out of us like this.
You jackasses got caught... that's too bad. I was hoping this would be a fun time at the movies.

The pain is real
I may be lazy but never say I don't at least try sometimes.
It's been interesting working on this scene. Haven't even gotten to the hard part yet. I can chroma key myself into shots, that's not hard, creating an illusion of falling through the scene, oh boy...
Gonna seriously tackle it tomorrow. I have to learn patience and do this stuff slow and carefully not blow my brain out struggling with it like I've been taught to do in school.
Isn't that the bullshit? you get it drilled into your head as a kid that life is over if you don't rush through stuff, but of course rushing is the primary reason things aren't done well and suck. This society's too afraid of patience and possibility of delays. so dumb.
Yep. It's gonna take a while to kinda figure out how to approach this shot but if I do it right it'll be fun fantastic stuff. This is basically what happens when you don't have money and try to make a movie. It takes forever to do....
