VM (not quite) Live from Philly!
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I want to be your rental company.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Once I take over an oil production company, get a couple of ships for transportation, absorb a refinery, and plug in my power company I'll be vertically integrated. Turn on all them lights!!Main Streeter wrote:& the monopoly begins. ;)

I had forgotten about the pyro ... since there will be explosives involved, we also need a high speed camera.Big Wallaby wrote: Now we need to discuss the lighting and pyro.
What about a camera mounted on the front of the stage with a ultra-fisheye lens? That might actually be able to capture the entire width of the chorus.

Not that this has gotten out of hand or anything, but... will there be any room left for an audience? :D:

Not so much, but the video will be piped to a separate viewing location complete with announcer commentary. :p:BRWombat wrote:Not that this has gotten out of hand or anything, but... will there be any room left for an audience? :D:
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

We'll just have to change the venue, no big deal. I'll drop by Jerry's house and see if the Deathstar is available. I bet we could get it for 2/6/2011. Can the VM be ready?BRWombat wrote:Not that this has gotten out of hand or anything, but... will there be any room left for an audience? :D:

Hey, we used to sing the National Anthem frequently at Texas Stadium -- but not since JJ bought the team. Since it's (almost) all about the bucks with him, we figure it's a money issue... he doesn't want to comp 100+ tickets!
