lmao @ the audio

Looks like a bad kung-fu movie.

I think you'll get way more entertainment out of a kung fu movie. If you would like some suggestions there are a bunch of dope Shaw Brothers (the best ones) on Netflix and Youtube.

Here's a great Shaw Brothers/Hammer Films collab where dracula goes to China and Peter Cushing has to go kill Dracula

Valve' The International is a proper full Outside Broadcast done by professonals, this is worst than a high school av clubs junior class first attempt.

Would not suprize me if twitch ask them to stop using their platform due to them bring it into disrepute.

Yeah it is now, the first couple I think they tried to do in house before realizing they had billions of dollars and just hired a news station to do it and it's now smooth as silk. Their behind the scenes tours they occasionally did where you get to see their control trucks are great. It's like they got a sports broadcast company to do it because they are the best at the live stuff.

In hilarious fashion. Like 3 second audio desynced and they had that weird outline from a improperly set up green screen. They also hot micced during a part with ben where his mic wasn't on and she said "Thats scary" so who knows what she was talking about. Idk i'm catching up on this season of Project Runway so this is just what I'm catching during the commercials. It's an amazing trainwreck.

Heh. No lights shining right into their faces? Heh :smug:

They had that in the first season iirc. It's a movie/tv thing so you can, you know, see the actors faces in the blackness of space where no one can hear you scream. It also looks hella futuristic though. It's always cool going back to old sci-fi movies that didn't have LEDs and wondering how hot those helmets must have been and if anyone lost any vision.

Outland was really into that, with it's '80s Ron Cobb "used universe" look. It looks like they used strip lights used for aquariums inside the helmets.

I mainly remember my first contact with it being as a kid in a MAD magazine parody of it which I didn't understand, not having seen the movie. But yeah, good underrated movie with solid design and aestethics.

You got me curious and Alien did something similar, but most of the lighting comes from a lamp exterior to the helmet.


Interestingly, Ripley's suit at the end doesn't have this, her face is illuminated by environmental lighting. Then again, Signorney Weaver's face is so pale and her hair so dark she doesn't need a light interior to the helmet to bring out her face.




The thing people remember most about Outland is the explosive decompression scenes, the first with the miner in the beginning whose face inflates like a balloon when he opens his suit and then the two hitmen. Supposedly, that doesn't happen in real life, the closest is if you hold your breath, the nitrogen build-up will rupture your lungs and probably explosively tear open from your neck to your cheek.

Yeah when Prometheus was coming out people were talking about the super slick space suits they had that hearkened back to the 1950s and the scifi serials of the time and there were a bunch of design articles linked about how they originally just did that so you could see the actors faces then realized it looked hella futuristic. Movie design stuff is really interesting when you can see design decisions made to convey concepts or ideas that are to show without using words.





But this was also done by Ridley Scott, you know, a man who has an actual vision and the visual design of Prometheus is second to none so far. Probably the prettiest movie made to date.


Its one reason why I cannot fault crobblers for being fascinated with mocap and movie making because it is super interesting, otoh hes fleeced nerds for more money than like 9/10 of the budget of every movie being made and hes got a real piece of junk so far. Like, his space suits are so loving BORING. In the posts we've been talking there has been what, 4 completely different looking space suits and 2 of those were even from the same director while crobblers is stealing his look from halo. It's just so sad because gently caress it, you're 10000 years or whatever in the future, go wild with your designs.

Yeah this too. Alien does have this nice chunky feel. The Nostromo feels like a utility ship, not some state of the art slick thing made to look good for the cameras.

Like I said, theres room for both! And both of those movies were made by the same dude! It's how you can have future car tesla killers and a 1984 honda civic on the same road!

If the lore allegedly has glass stronger than steel there is no reason to have your helmets not have 270 degrees of view.

something something COSMIC RADIATION

The Expanse has so far had the best depiction of what happens if you open your helmet in space i.e. nothing if youre holding your breath and its not for very long. Pretty cool depictions.

Now that I think about it, they could def take some monster design cues from the crazy bendy people for the Ceres asteroid infections.
