Arri Alexa Plus and a non descript 50mm. So somewhere in the $70-$80k USD mark. The guys is an idiot though, a Steadicam isn't a magic robot you wear, it's a counterbalance and suspension system that you operate. You'd never let go of the arm or sled like that while operating.

CaptainViolence posted:

it also doesn't look like a name-brand actual Steadicam, it looks like some goofy knockoff with big rubber bands on the isoelastic arm. i have done that same thing in an actual steadicam (with a much less expensive camera because duh) and never had a problem because if you know what you're doing you can keep it close to your body instead of letting it swing out beyond your reach

gigo for filmmakers, i guess

Stuff like this is why I love these dead gay forums so much. We've got all these members from all walks of life and different experiences and and all sorts of knowledge about a million different subjects, and it's so loving fascinating when people geek out on specialized topics. You got a question about some esoteric bit of technical information or need to know something about some arcane bit of history? Odds are good there's a goon out there who can give you a dissertation on whatever it is you want to know.

Is he aware that Romans were pretty darn gay? Because I've a feeling that he's homophobic as well.

Not to mention that the ancient Greeks were also somewhat twinky. The male ideal of beauty back then was slim-waisted, hairless, and, perhaps most important of all, tiny-dicked. Excessive body hair or a huge dong would have been considered utterly uncouth and barbaric. :colbert:

Random Mediterranean pirate/raiders. We're not entirely sure where or who they were because civilization had largely forgotten how to write at the time.

They probably mean the late broze age collapse of mediterranean trade and culture in general. Their dates are off and they're referencing and outdated and thoroughly debunked theory, but this graph isn't exactly good science or history.

For anyone who wants more info, Google "bronze age collapse." A bunch of marauding Invaders kicked the poo poo out of just about everybody. Only the Egyptians repelled them successfully.

I think most of the surviving records about them are from egyptian sources, too, and they don't identify anything about where they came from or who they were.

Eh, maybe. 1177 is a good read for a more nuanced look at that weid point in history.

There also has to be way more dudes in the 6 foot tall range now than in the 40’s, when they would have grown up with depression-era nutrition.

It's the exact opposite of reality, successive generations in the West have only grown taller since then and if I'm remembering correctly the tallest ethnic group in the world right now are the Dutch (including and especially native 'white' ones). Meanwhile, the 1.70m millennial manlet cuck would have been perfectly average height or even slightly above average during the 1940's.

It's so blatant that I assume it's some kind of weird elaborate parody

A quick google brings up a whole bunch of source that show that the average male height in the US was increasing throughout 1920s, 30s and 40s and has been pretty consistent from 1950 through to the present, the graphic on the tweet is absolute garbage.

Major historical shifts are never (save for maybe a massive asteroid of mega volcano or whatever) caused by one single thing and some nebulous and extremely I'll defined "sea people invaded everywhere at once and stopped civilization in its tracks" is a piss poor explanation for such a major and cataclysmic event.

It was never a strong theory and there still isn't a universally accepted meta explanation. I strongly recommend the book 1177, which basically says, nah, we don't understand this well and the declines we saw are probably a perfect storm of poo poo happening in concert across the region.

That's always been the paradox with them, they're angry/sad that they fail to live up to patriarchal standards of masculinity, but instead of examining and questioning that system of representation, they choose to lash out at women instead. Learning exactly nothing in the process
