Haha! If I had a nickel every time I heard locked cutā¦ Or āitās a liftā
Ha! Is it a picture lift? A script lift? A camera lift? An animation lift? A grade lift?
ARHGHGGHAGHHH!HHH!!!
Heaven help any producer who tells me there is a direct lift. My entire body becomes pure cynicism, often causing me to pedantically explain all the ways something could be not a pure lift.
Because it never is. The handles are different, one take is different and no one knows why, and all the timewarps are quicker.
My fav thing now is: Well, if itās from the same take itās still a lift, right? Even if itās way outside the handles that we graded?
āIf you want to pay me to do the VFX work on every whole take Iām happy to do that. Thereās a place around the corner that rents dump trucks. I suspect youāll need two or three to carry the cash.ā
a few things:
- this is my re-creation of a meme I swore I had on my phone but canāt find, so I canāt take any creative credit.
- I watched the scene in question (pic is not from the scene, fyi) to make sure I had the text of the line correct.
- I thought about the grammar v deference to the text and decided upon the latter.
(based on a true story)
Iāll leave this hereš
Yes
The cylons were the bad guys.
They got eliminated in large quantities in every episode.
Who is dressing up as a bad guy and crying about being a victim?
Isnāt this like wearing a Nazi uniform and asking for sympathy?
Surely this is Darwinism?

Iām not sure thereās a more perfect meme.
TBH Iāve got a lot of notes on that painting too.
