Canada has a problem with racism.It's not all 'nice' progressive liberalism. Found out last year from a Webinar about violence towards indigenous people and others about abolishing the police and the black film scene. Then caught one on slavery in Canada last night. It includ3d thibgs like Enslaved people running back to the US prior to the UK banning slavery in 1830 as well as some more recent stuff. Speaker said she wasn't talking about some special 'nice' form of the set up. There is no nice one.

I think Waterford Whispers had a post about how some parents had been mispronouncing their children's names for years. Could have been an old post though but caught my eye. Irish take on the Onion.There was definitely a trend in D4 Southside Dublin a couple of decades ago to use obscurish gaelic names for their offspring.

JUst now realising that a webinar I'm watching hasa virtual table panel on . Made up of individual zoom portals but teched into sitting at a cartoon table.Hadn't seen that before.Cool, or is Australia actually so free of covid taht people sit around cartoon tables.
― Stevolende, Monday, 29 March 2021 09:04 (three years ago) link
Like, I think this is live and therefore not post production . Lining up people behind a virtual table in a line where thy have teh scale about right.I possibly hadn't noticed cos I was doing several things at the same time.Have seen individuals with almost convincing tech backdrops that would have you almsot thinking they were in teh room being used as backdrop.BUt this is individuals slotted i behind a virtual table on a virtual backdrop. Probably something taht has been done elsewhere but I haven't see it.& there is still shadow in wrong places for the virtual room but interesting to see how this is progressing.

It would be extremely poor form to mock people on this thread, so I'll just say it was pretty genius to make incompetent animal-hunter Elmer Fudd into obsessive animal-lover Elmyra

I hadn't realised untilthis morningtaht you had the possibility of a 6+ way zoom type call that would allow you to look like you were together on a panel. Where each member is rendered as almost to scale input into an image where they look like they're lined up behind a table substitute.What I have seen is single individuals shown in front of backdrops that can be somewhat convincing but still tend to glitch somewhat.THis did show odd shadows for a single view and some glitching around moving arms and hands and things but otherwise seemed to work.NOt sure to what extent this had to do with post production since I think it was broadcast pretty much live . It was for a week long design festival thing but fro what I've seen elsewhere most of teh time if you're doing things from Zoom you are doing individual talking heads in separate portals/screens. THis had taken talking heads and upper torsos and input into an image.I'm not sure what teh current limits of this are, I would think having some time to work on post production would be a great deal of benefit which would allow things taht weren't possible to do live. Obviously for this to be a panel it had to be done pretty much live and i think the transmission was almost immediate.So could be that this has been something that has been available for a while but I haven't seen it

Crazy how many of us share this!I think maybe as a kid, when we haven't encountered that many first names yet, we have less of a sense of which ones are uncommon and so uncommon cartoon character names don't flag themselves as maybe meaning something. like between Fudd and the glue manufacturer I probably figured that as an adult i would know dozens of Elmers.

reading the wikipedia entry about the different tiny toons characters is blowing my mind over and over. i mean...
Buster is based on the Chuck Jones version of Bugs Bunny, who was the calm and collected foil to Jones' incarnation of Daffy Duck and attacked others only when provoked.Babs is based on the Bob Clampett version of Bugs Bunny, who was a constant trickster that liked to disguise himself to fool others.
