That hurts. I was hoping with how the regular season went that we’d be able to pull it off in the playoffs but STHS is a fickle beast sometimes. May have been my last chance with Toronto. In any case, GG Seattle. Long road for you guys, go take on Goliath!

That’s fine, the topic will be remade soon anyway. Welcome to the league!

You can if you’d like to. I figured you’d be busy.

I’d actually be really interesting in Ruutu taking over @BluObieZ‘s old column.

*innocent whistle* In the interest of fairness Cornerstone and Sokolov would probably compliment each other pretty well.

This may be Sokolov’s last shot (haven’t decided if I’m stopping after 7) so can we get him a gold please

It’s a combination of things. 16 is the lowest for perceivable motion more or less but it didn’t work well with sync sound. 24 synced well and was the slowest (aka cheapest) that did so. It’s more or less still the standard because people have gotten used to the amount of motion blur it creates. Even kicking it up to 30 generates less blur and therefore ends up looking too smooth to many people. Anything above 30 creates next to no motion blur which is jarring, especially in high action, which is what made the 48 FPS hobbit so motion sickness enduring. Our eyes naturally add motion blur to things we see. That’s what I meant by the reason it’s standard. It was created for a different reason but t has stayed even beyond its need of being cheap because we have adjusted to that being the regular rate. Fun fact, television is broadcast at 59.94 (interlaced 29.97 FPS) so it doesn’t broadcast at 24 anyway even though most Footage is shot that way. Most films remain screened at 23.98.

If it isn’t a video game and it isn’t slow-motion nothing should be higher FPS than 30. 23.98 is the film standard for a reason.

The issues with the hobbit were more of the issue with high frame rate than 3D. It wasn’t motion sickness inducing until people watched it at 48 FPS. Same issue that those TV’s you mention have. Certain frame rates are used for certain reasons. I blame gamers for the most part, even though I am one. Too many people make game content now and claim that anything under 60 is bad but really anything higher than 30 should only be used for slow motion footage. 60 at real time has a look that feels like soap operas. And yes, I don’t mean to say stuff shot for 3D isn’t messed wth digitally after the fact; it is. Just that there’s a lot of stuff Shot 2D and digitally converted after. 35mm is a whole other conversation. Some like the look, some don’t. I find it looks better (and can be scanned up to 8K) but it isn’t worth the extra cost and pain in the ass of having to get t all scanned. Digital is cheaper and easier.

Admittedly I probably exaggerated the numbers a bit but still. Animated movies in 3D are effectively real since they are Digital the entire time anyway but most of the live action 3D films that come out just do the job in post.

3D isn’t Shot with 2 cameras, at least not anymore. It’s shot with a special kind of camera that has two lenses and 2 sensors. Those camera don’t tend to have the same kind of cinematic feel that you can get from something like a RED or an ARRI though and don’t work with 35mm equivalents which a lot of films still shoot on for the quality. For that reason most shoot on whatever camera they like and the digitally add the “layers” later. Results in a very different look than something that’s shot for 3D because the layers never look quite as distinct and the director likely never shot with the intention of having things be separated. From the perspective of Filmmaker’s it’s usually a Cash crab that the publishers want. Very few people want to make a narrative film 3D because it’s more work to add nothing.

To be fair 4/5 games have gone to OT. I’m starting to wonder if this will be the series with the most periods ever haha.

Well if we did that then we’d have to have 10 pages of discussion about the amount of lines in the league...

I find about 10% of the time movies are actually shot with a 3D camera and have actual elements of depth that look good. 85% of the time they are just digitally sliced to bits and have next to no elements where the 3D adds anything. Meanwhile the last 5% is reserved for times when it wasn’t shot for 3D but you can tell in the 2D release that you should be watching it in 3D because elements look terrible and out of focus. So basically because the 3D version exists the proper version suffers.

Further reason 3D should go die in a hole.

I’m fine with that. By default it should go to the player that was present but given the circumstances I’m fine with @Trifecta using it on his new player.

I honestly won’t have much time (see my post in the away thread) but I imagine @Will could.

You were excited about it, I didn’t want to stomp that excitement out of you. For what it’s worth, I love the GM’s putting forth a player each. I just think the other players should have been put in with a poll considering how many got in by just being mentioned once. In any case, I’m still excited for the game even if I’m not in it. Glad we can be doing something fun with this.

I’ll take it if no one else wants it.

They certainly aren’t mine either haha. You saw my stats with Holik right?

Hey now, I’ve been waiting a long time between cups since you couldn’t get me one in Seattle

Yeah it’s stressful haha. 3/4 games in OT. I knew it was gonna be close but damn.

My wife’s grandfather passed away yesterday afternoon and they were quite close so I’m down with her family helping out for the next few days. Should still be active but wanted to give everyone a head’s up in case I’m a bit slow to reply to things.

You have absolutely no basis for that statement though. What was done by the blue team in the past has no weighing on what would be done now. At the time members wanted to see new teams brought in so the blues did what they thought was best. We now realize it wasn’t as I have stated. So why are you assuming flat out that we would do the same thing?
