soundslikejustin Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 "Please, please, stay on topic and allow your personal issues abate, or, at perhaps, write your posts, in longhand, if possible, read them aloud, if possible, and hopefully, after several passes, you will think twice , before posting." This is not a proper sentence. There is incorrect and overuse of punctuation, as well as multiple syntax errors. You used 'if possible' twice, and there is (although a simple error) a space before and after a comma. Realistically, this should be broken into two or more sentences. You are not effectively communicating when you submit posts like this. The effort taken to write and/or read posts like this (although occasionally more aesthetically pleasing), is not worth the information they contain. Please, take your own advice, and consider your posts before submitting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srgtfury Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Vernacular-jes street roots is all. Nonetheless, it is very effective-never forget the intended audience... The transcription was a bit wonky, as well. Should have proofed it, but it was, as we say, "off the cuff." You are correct, excepting your conclusion, regarding the import of the engaging, although incorrectly typed sentence. Sorry 'bout that mate. Stayin' on topic is what should be paramount here, and the personal issues that others have with Fury's literary style or whatever, should not be allowed to enter into the conversation. Dance class called. Students were really grasping the holds and figures well tonight, BTW...no waltzin' tho'.. Visual acuity permitting, Fury shall endeavour to proof posts hisself, aite?

ccsnd Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 There was no "debate." There is no "debate." There have been insults directed at Fury, without any remotely, viable etiology, however. lol So what you are saying is, debates dont "exist", they just are. To debate is to consider, to consider is to reason. In order to reason one must have free thought, but does free thought actually exist? Fury has always taken the moral high ground, but should not be a target, for anyone's whim and fancy. Didn't you call me homophobic based on absolutely nothing? (which I can assure you, I am not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaAudio Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 but does free thought actually exist? It order for thought to exist there must be a living, breathing human doing the thinking. In so much as it is impossible for a human to exist on this planet without the expenditure of some sort, money, effort, etc. then the answer to your question has to be "no".

engaudio Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 We're not immune from unrealistic low/no budget requests here in New Zealand. Here's an interesting one. ...I plan to shoot the film in November of this year (2012). Most of the film will be shot in Auckland, including K-Rd (the red light district of the city). I will shoot the rest of the film up North at Omamari, Maunganui and Mohoa (small Maori communities just past Dargaville). I plan to adopt a unique approach to shooting the film. It will be shot on a full HD Canon 7D. This camera has a excellent depth of field and is really good in low lighting. I will be using a tripod for most of the shots, as I prefer that style, rather than the freestyle method which is becoming more common nowadays. Although, the POV shots will be done free style of course. I will be using natural lighting as much as possible, to give the film the gritty realism I am seeking. I will have a skeleton crew, except for the green screen symbolic/artistic scenes, which will require a bigger crew on board for those scenes. For the sound, we will use a boom mike, with a special connection directly into the camera (so we do not have to edit the sound seperately). Like all my other films, I will be making the film on a mini-micro budget. So I am looking for film crew prepared to work on the feature film for a deferred payment, for a three week shoot, between 3 - 24 November (2012), which means you will have a share in the profits from the sales of the film (DVD's, view online via Pal etc.) once it is made. Expenses will be paid for of course. So it will most probably suit film makers who have completed film school and want to add a feature film to their resume and desire to have the experience of creating a feature film. You will need to live in Auckland. I am looking for the following crew: 1) Production Assistant. Your role will be to assist in all areas of production as and when needed. You would maintaining the continuity logs, assisting the production manager and the 1st AD on sets as well as assisting the 1st AD with the shot breakdown and shooting scehdule. 2) Runner. Your role will be to run around doing whatever needs to be undertaken i.e. Picking up the food etc. You will need a car (Petrol and wear and tear will be paid for on the spot). 3) Boom Operator. You will need to have experience in this area. Plus, preferably your own gear, although if you do not this is ok. 4) 2nd AD: Assisting 1st AD & working with production assistant on sets. As this will be a skeleton crew, we will all be be working very closely together during the shoot so I am looking for crew who are PASSIONATE about the film and who I am able to get along with. I can be a extremely intense Director, so need crew who can gel with the intensity of my personality and character. We will hold 'briefs' before each days shoot, so everyone has the opportunity to voice their nga whakaaro (thoughts) regrading any matter/issues relating to the film. This is so everyone feels involved and is valued. However, once shooting begins, I will expect my role as Director to be respected in making any and all final decisions relating to the film and how it is shot. Regards, Grant.

I chuckled when re-reading this amusing (a guilty pleasure, apparently) thread. Carry on, BK Hi BK, Fury did not see the post you quoted. Generally, however, Fury allows the reader to stumble along, much as the cognoscenti SP's here, must sit, with wry smiles of bemusement (minus the passive- aggressives, who have felt, somehow traduced by Fury), when the likes of Fury ventures a post into their field. Most fallacious (be cognizant of pseudo,pseudo, homophonic misinterpretations here) posts answer themselves, even if the author doesn't know it... Thanks for setting the record straight, for the Poster. Hi Thesoundguy, As Fury noted, your post was overlooked. Apology that you misread the correctly transcribed word ",homophonic," as Fury did not even contemplate what you assured everyone here is your proclivity. Fury does have a recollection of posting, without taking umbrage, a civil response to your uncivil post, with quotation marks on the homophonically offensive word. Thank you very much Fury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
