Just slaved away like a dog for months on a tvc and the agency have gone with cringe obvious music. Really wonder sometimes why bother to put so much into it.
- Is this another one of these 'In these difficult times' spots with the sad piano music?Continuity
- Also, 'months' on a TVC? Ouch!Continuity
- ^ ha no luckily dodged that, but have been there before, ol 'sadvertising'.inteliboy
- What was your role on the job?NBQ00
- I feel you. It's astonishing how clients often can fuckup the very last bit of everything good.Longcopylover
- Seriously, though ... months on a TVC. I don't think I've ever worked on one that's taken more than 4-5 weeks from idea to post.Continuity
- 4-5 weeks is how long it takes legal to rip my scripts apart with some of my clients.zarkonite
- Conversely, I was able to drop a jungle beat into a lame-ass corporate video I made. The balance of the universe!stoplying
- @stoplying yes, balance is natureapi
- @nbq director. Yeah usualy month turn around on production side, but have had some over the years that just go on and oninteliboy

I'm trying to find a book series from my childhood. It was an illustrated book for kindergarteners. They were a family of brightly coloured blobs and they lived in underground caves all connected. (but that could be one edition, the caves might not be where they always lived)

Back in home-office again. Haven’t done shit all day, so lazy and tired. Pretty much only naps and browsing the web.

One of my neighbours, under 40, bought a used 911 Turbo S for around £90k.... he's been working from home, spending the summer jogging during the day, playing football video game in evening.
No idea what his job is, but fuck... some people are having no financial problems at all during covid and are confident enough to sell their fancy ass BMW's and upgrade to a 911...
Meanwhile I've been working all summer during the days, side projects evening + weekends, and all I've got is a 10 years old bicycle with a gaffer taped together rear mudguard.
- Ask him?nb
- Maybe it will play out like this https://www.youtube.…nb
- London's the wrong place for this sort of comparison. No matter how good things are going for you - there will always be some richer cunt with an easier life.Nairn
- The older I get, the less I care about that but the more annoyed I am by aspirational spending on expensive bullshit, especiallly by the Clearly-Spoiled.Nairn
- London's NOT good for this - seeing some shithead 20-something in a £150k+ car blaring shit music and generally being a dickhead.Nairn
- Every time I see an expensive new car on the street, all I think is "welp, there's another £75k sent to Germany for no useful reason. Great job".Nairn
- All I think is how much Good that sort of cash could do the genuinely needy. But instead, it's spent on utterly useless compensatory bling.Nairn
- I mentioned recently I worked at a Rosthchild's house a while back. The guy had the shittest generic small Japanese car. Respect.Nairn
- Rothschild, maybe?Nairn
- i bet he spends less time on qbn.imbecile

Tried out new Photoshop features: Sky replacement sucked on my test image, neural filter made zombie faces and skin smoothing worked sweet, but only the face. When a whole body is naked, I want all skin smooth.
Funky gimmicks, nothing more so far.
- https://www.anthropi…imbecile
- I guess, I'll do it manually instead.SimonFFM
- i for one am surprised by thishans_glib
- please don't smooth the skin, natural is all ok.shapesalad
- I tried the sky replacement on some of my arch-viz work, results were varied. Ok for a quick fix but ironically can't quite handle entirely CG-created skyboxes.face_melter
- As someone who does retouching on people for a living I assumed you'd have some shit hot plugin or separate app for that stuff.Hayzilla

Having watched the following in two days - considering not much else in going on in one's life - starting to think so confident of your own photography skills then the realization sets in that you can't replicate what you see (lighting, equipment, teamwork etc) but sitting in awe only to admire the craft is the only way to teach yourself. Notes from a relentless monkey.

Watching the new Borat movie
- why thohans_glib
- In reality you are alone in a small-scale 'room' structure viewing a rectangle shaped device that is emitting light waves and audio waves.shapesalad
- But call it watching a movie if you prefer.shapesalad
- such a thriller!grafician
- Get off your high horse.
All any of us do is stare at oblongs.Nairn - Yupmoldero
- Very interestingi_was
- Watched it last night. Enjoyed it. Was some real funny moments and couldnt believe the post-interview footage! Didnt think it was as funny as the first...microkorg
- ..or his other stuff as seemed there was more of a purpose to the film. if that makes sense, watch it, maybe it will :Pmicrokorg

Lately I wanna go to sleep by 7pm. So annoying how my sleep rhythm changed in the past years.
I wake up at 3-4am and tired by 7-8pm.

Some weeks ago I had a FWB with a sexy 22 yr old Chinese girl literature student from Wuhan.
I was a bit surprised that I’d meet someone from exactly that part of the world.

My longtime girlfriend has decided that it's time for me to go kick rocks. I'm honestly fine with it because I think her reasons are cowardly and she's lost a little bit of heart.
Just.. great timing, eh? I'm now trying to sell all of my shit in a non-existent market so that I can fit everything I still want in a compact car for 2500 mile jaunt through COVID America to go back to my hometown with a dog that's on his last legs.
The odd silver lining is that I've been stressing about where I was going to bury him when he goes, and there's a plot on my parent's land where my childhood dogs were buried. Yay, I guess.
- :(pango
- just eat him. why waste. clean that plate chinese styledeathboy
- how do you eat a dog?pango
- Go kick rocks? Scuse my ignorance...BusterBoy
- ^ the first time I read itOBBTKN
- And yes, you're better aloneOBBTKN
- Sorry to hear that, garbage. Did you see it coming, or did it sort of happen suddenly?Continuity
- @pango lol don'tgarbage
- @buster "go kick rocks" is a polite way to say "fuck off".garbage
- @continuity I did and I didn't. We've been a gang of two for five or six years, but if she wants out that's fine.garbage
- She's my best friend, and it hurts because I will not ever speak to her again once this is over. Not to hurt her, but I just need to move on.garbage
- This was actually going to be a "who wants to buy some cameras" post before it got all weepy.garbage
- 'Not to hurt her, but I just need to move on.'
I absolutely get this sentiment. The less hard on yourself you can make this, the better off you'll be.Continuity - w/ bbq or soy or whatever tastes good. did she cover most of the bills? curiosu who needed who?deathboy

- dude, move all your stuff in storage somewhere, get a new rent with a hot chic (surely lots of ppl looking for rent mates), take care of your dog, profitgrafician

- Do a proper fundraiser where you tell all your friends that you're giving all your stuff away to raise money to go live with monks in Tibet. I've attendedcherub
- one of those. Seems ineffective but in reality someone will end up donating more than the cost of the items. They will help your cause.cherub
- The one I went to, he gave away everything he owned to raise money to go work on a cruise ship.cherub
- If you have to drive across the country just make the best of it. Make it an extra long road trip and see as much of the country as you can.ben_
- Plan a scenic route while coming home, visit some national parks, show the old dog some nice spots.stoplying
- Sell your shit, get some bitches for yourself and the dog, drive to the middle of nowhere, score some heroin and send that dog off proper.palimpsest

- I ended something i want happy with 2 years ago. planned to be single for a while. but, a real gem fell into my lap. tomorrow is our 1st anniversary.shellie
- so keep your head up. it was incredibly difficult to end a 12 year relationship but the pain faced faster than you'd think. go regroup. you'll be fine.shellie
- be sad for a few months but my advice is not to wallow in it. don't punish yourself. you deserve happiness but you have to create that for yourself.shellie
- Change is hard and uncomfortable but change is good. and I agree, don't talk to her. I don't even speak his name. blocked his friends and family too.shellie
- Yeah agree. Hard cut on the communications and dont even look online. No answering texts or emails from them. Dont even read them.cannonball1978
- Given some of the stuff you've said over the past few months, Garbage - are you genuinely 'ok' with this? You were worrying me a wee while back xNairn

- @Nairn you're gonna have to do better than "GAY" lol.
@shellie I'm not looking for the next one. I'm not scared, I just didn't mean to accidentally get old.garbage

Looks like it's going to be a solitary Christmas this year. I'd intended to go to my mum's house in eastern Canada to do Christmas with with her and my sister, but the entry rules in Canada make it prohibitive.
I'd have to quarantine for 14 days, and not in a place where there's someone in the high-risk group. My 72-year-old mum is defnitely in that group.
I'll have to talk to her and my sister about this, but I'm really not keen on possibly inadvertently passing this shitty pestilence on to her. Who knows if I wouldn't pick it up on the plane, in an airport, or wherever.
Sigh. Fuck you up the ass with no lube, 2020.
- i wonder if there's a designated hotel for quarantine.pango
- Good question. She's in Sackville, which is basically the middle of nowhere, and there's only one hotel that I can think of, off the TCH.Continuity
- Conveniently next to an NBLC shop, though. So, at least I could drink myself into oblivion.Continuity
- We are rescheduling xmas to summer 2021 earliest. If I were you I'd hold out and book a quieter flight Feb/Mar and go spend 2 weeks with your mom.shapesalad
- Yeah. Right now, my priority is making sure she's safe, and I don't want to do anything to jeopardise that.Continuity
- Can you go two weeks earlier and quarantine with your sister?nb
- I’m working remotely anyway so Canadian Xmas this year is 6 weeks long! 2 weeks for quarantine then 4 with the fam. Working 3/6 weeksnb
- Yup, my father's not coming to see our daughter and our flights to Italy have been cancelled so I suspect this'll be our first Christmas in London.Nairn
- (I've had a few Christmasses in LDN, but since going out with my partner we've spent each one since in Italy).
Sorry to hear, Continuity. Shit for everyoneNairn - In Alberta, Westjet is offering rapid testing so you only have to quarantine for 2 days. Maybe you could hop a flight from here afterwards?zarkonite

I heard a rustling at the back of my desk last night but assumed it was just a plastic bag I had there de-tensioning under the vague heat of a lamp.
Just heard it again and there's no plastic bag and no light on, so I move my head in to hear better and - yup, that's a mouse.
Apparently a pack of Dr Karg's Crispbread that I lost and then forgotten about had slipped down the back and little mouse had carved out quite an impressive cave from the layers.
Little fucker.
- the 'cave' it's carved out is about four times its volume, so is nest must be very well stocked up for Winter.Nairn
- get a bodega catOBBTKN
- We have one but the last times it came into my studio it a) shat in a hard to reach corner and it took me ages to track down, despite the stench, andNairn
- b) snuck in without me noticing on a Friday so I locked up and went home for the weekend. Had to come back in just to let the daft cunt out.Nairn
- Should I send those cats that keep entering my apt thru the balcony to the rescue?grafician
- Sorry to ear... Yes, cats are total assholes, mine at leastOBBTKN
- I saw a rat in my garage yesterday. Scared the shit out of me when he jumped out the recyclin. I'm gonna let him chill. Hopefully he finds nothing and moves on.Hayzilla
