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...

4

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?

Definitely. Hopefully one more like game 1 than this though. Not gonna go well getting shot totals like this.

Not that I like the option but to be honest I would do that before I cut the teams down to 4.

I’m with @Kendrick. I’m okay with it if we have the members to sustain the lines but we aren’t going to drop more teams just for the sake of having more lines.

S30 I believe? I don’t fully remember but I believe it was around that landmark. People had honestly been asking for Expansion since like Season 10.

You have to recognize that people at the time had been asking to expand for many seasons already. The blue team made the call they thought was best. Ultimately most of us now disagree with that move. We will do what’s best for the league. At this point I cannot really say what that right move will be. I’m leaning towards larger teams but we’re talking a future that isn’t set in stone. What moves the league makes ultimately depend on how the league looks member wise when those decisions need to be made. That’s why we can’t make an official statement on the matter. The VHL is a fluid entity; we can’t simply state “this is what’s going to happen in 4 seasons” when we don’t know what the league makeup will be in 4 seasons.

Our objective is to add members. We do not have an end goal regarding the amount of lines in the league; we just want active members. Theorhetically but we don’t intend on dropping any more teams at this time.

Well we have 2 like teams now so it’s a safe bet to assume that we’d need to knock half the teams out in order to achieve 4 lines. Personally I do not see that as being the direction the league will want to take.

I’m not saying it isn’t the playoffs, I’m saying that I don’t really look at them as playoff teams. I look at the winner as a playoff team.

We discussed it a few days ago. We did 7 games this year to match everything else but that could make the wildcard series last 5 days which is way too much. I agree that it should be best of 5. We’ll look into changing it next season.
