Every shot, whether its radio dialogue, background scenery, prop objects, how the camera moves, or what the season is, all move the story forward. Every shot, is layer by layer taking us somewhere. Kubrik motifs circle shape - in 2001 space odyssey, the circle shape comes out in space ships, interiors, planets, to echo the theme of the circular life and death pattern costume design - flips it, uses white, like innocence, a cane and a hat, of a gentleman, to dress the thugs in a clockwork orange Spielberg motifs use color of the clothes to emphasize a character, like in empire of the sun , when Christian bale is lost, he is the only person wearing red in the crowd Opening titles motif I am Groot - fast forward marvel logo, Groot's head bumps into the screen Better call Saul - tape recorder effect , music abruptly stops Ozark - just a simple o, with 4 symbols and chilling music

USD USD is about layering, different from linear alembic pipeline material x  material x is for cross compatibility between vendors maya export, import uncheck preserve reference so the export, imported object won't attach camera reference, for example, or there will be double camera in the scene adjust projection content translation need to adjust the projection camera translation, not the light how to make vray lights not visible in reflection turn effect reflection off on the lights people interacting with none existing cg creatures green clothed man, can hold a dragon plastic head don't act to something empty, any reference is good maya preferences delete or rename preferences, to go back to default maya preferences blue or green screen shots check roto compare final comp to the blue or green screen plate, to check and review the roto misc every shot has a neutral grade reflection attenuation - reflection intensity decreases farther down the contact point rgb yellow is 100

Eckhart Tolle 說 : 不要抗拒任何出現的東西 對於已經出現的東西，不要覺得它不應該出現 (don't demand anything that arises should not arise) 不要被噪音動搖，讓噪音成為打坐的一部分 當你對噪音 (負面能量) 做出「反擊」時，你就會「成為」負面能量 (when you react to toxic energy, you become part of the toxic energy) 唯一能超越它的方法，是透過完全的接納 (the only way you can get beyond it, is by deep acceptance of what is)

Before the argument She doesn’t need to like you, she needs to respect you Obligations don’t work Space is important Don’t be thirsty, do purpose, let her come No fear In the argument Don’t argue anything Stand up for myself, point it out Never answer anything logically, never explain Be honest about my feelings, stand my ground I make the rules Reply light When you react, you become part of it After the argument Don’t show anger just leave Take away attention Feel it, accept it, transcend it uncertainty, unavailability done congruently creates attraction come from position of strength listen

inner game self acceptance is the first thing you need to do respect respect first, love second, this means boundaries first respect means having the ability to walk away touch use plotline, callback, and story to initiate touch playfully each escalation point is a check point, if she doesn't feel weird, escalate to the next one, if she does, back off (calibration) ask out how you make her feel is key bring up the activity, in a fun and visual way invite her to come creatively specifics date male energy (just being a male is good enough for attraction) take the shit test and all her questions light heartedly (counter my innate seriousness) (means all the questions can be rolled off) (being an alpha lover with options is a good thing) (admitting attraction is ok) sexual vibe (counter my innate non sexual vibe) (fragrance) (dance and spin) (eye contact) (close proximity) (hold hand) (you are attractive) get to know who she is, respond to who she is in a fun and flirty way get out of

After good text, good date, good sex, do not confess your feelings or send gifts, this behavior has high failure probability. Ok, so you confessed and the answer is maybe, remember, maybe is still not a defeat. When cold approaching, give a reason for the encounter. If she can't make it, just say ok, this will differentiate you from 90 percent of men already. Soft close then hard close. Say I don't like x y z, this is setting standards, setting the rules, it is attractive. Don't talk about past relationship, diffuse with humor. Don't talk about future relationship together, this is what she wants to earn. Take charge, killer instinct, make sex happen. Ask for a favor, or a suggestion with something that she is good at. Family meetings early on, is too fast, too early.

FG and BG exposure BG explosion behind FG character, if BG explosion is exposed correctly with detail and mid tones, the FG character in front would be a black silhouette. If FG character in front is exposed with detail and mid tones, the BG explosion behind would be blown out, all white. Facial interactive light from flashing spell using 2D comp treatment When pulling out spell caused light interactive color on character's face, you need to pull out the specs on the face as well. 2.5 D comp fix for flickering bricks using camera projection Bricks are flickering in the render, roto and frame hold one frame of the flickering brick, use 2.5D (camera / scanline render) to paste back this one frame non flicker brick to cover over the flickering part. Atomic is empty This usually happens when you open someone's else scene, and the atomic data is not copied over. To fix it, from Atomic directory, copy the .atom file for the corresponding scene to your directory, the name of the atom

communication self amuse (fun, flirty, misinterpret) show value (show my interesting life) don't give pressure, don't try that hard (trying too hard cheapens my value) don't give away free attention (establish attraction first) don't explain the joke (explaining lowers value) trying a couple times is mandatory keeping attraction, aka chemistry, means my masculine vs her feminine frame, aka dominance falling in love (obsession) comes from absence, disqualifying, tension falling in love (obsession) comes from her own thoughts, not something you do to stand out, do not give free attention, my attention is my only currency preemptive, ask for a favor, to get the power back, this is counter intuitive but it works admit sexual attraction is good (don't admit love) fun and flirty vibe is good (white knight loving vibe is not good, it is a turn off) learning period chess game, think about her reaction, strategize, then act (strategize, means study all this first then react)
