Of course, everyone does. And if mine doesn't look like that natural perfection I'll just get Steven Hawkings to photoshop it with that thing attached to his head. Should achieve the same result.

That's the dude that speaks on that radiohead album, right?

JustErin said:

I meant Stephen Hawking. My bad on the spelling.

Fauxie said:

Yup, same dude then.

JustErin said:

Yes. Here's my one cheapshot.

Fauxie said:

Whoa!

Is there anything that man can't do???


Well, besides walk and talk, of course.

This kid is trying to tell ME about video shoots! HILARIOUS!


So you mean to tell me that video directors go out and find the LEAST attractive women to put in their videos because "They're gonna clean them up in post anyway" - Yeah, that shit makes a ton of sense! Listen up, son, they go and find fine women to begin with. Do you REALLY think the director and editor wants to sit there and spend extra unnecessary time "cleaning up" women that need to be fixed in post? Does that shit make ANY damn sense to you? At all? Then again, it probably does

I can see Hype Williams now:

"Hey, let's go get that ugly broad over there, she'll do fine. All we need to do is clean her up in post by fixing some 'soft blurs' and fix the 'color contrast' and she'll look like Beyonce".

How utterly retarded.

I can't even be bothered to contend with you anymore, it's like trying to persuade Hitler that Jews were actually alright. It just doesn't happen, does it?

JustErin said:

I give you permission to ask Laurel everything. Including why it took so long to meet up with Baumeister.

benyamin said:

You can't contend because I shot that bullshit theory of yours down. Again, you know absolutely nothing about what goes into making a music video, simple as that.

WTF happened to me sweet little GD thread





BASTIDS !!

MuthaFunka said:

Yeah, because I don't work in the Film Industry or anything? Oh wait, I do! I worked in post-production too! I did exactly that!

Photoshopping does not equal making hideously ugly girls attractive (though sometimes it does) - it means removing the flaws to create an unrealistically perfect image.

Mach said:

Mach, you and these damn firestorm threads of yours!

MuthaFunka said:

I am all about the firestorm

I mean ... who ? innocent little nobody me ?

benyamin said:

Hell fuckin' no you don't - nor ever did - work in the industry or else you'd KNOW directors don't hire actresses that they have to worry about how long they're gonna be in the make-up chair and THEN having to "fix them up in post" to boot, so please, don't even TRY to fake the funk just to try and "act" like you know what the fuck you're talking about when you have absolutely ZERO clue!

And please stop falling back on the "photoshopping" stuff because that's not what I'm blasting you for, this is about you fronting like you know about filmmaking.

Mach said:

I'm not buying that. The last woman that claimed she was innocent, had me asshole naked and tied to her bed 15 minutes later.

MuthaFunka said:

Actually, I met Laurel in LA whilst working for Warner Bros.

Rob Schneider was my boss, and George Sluizer the director.

Nice second-guess, but now you just look like a douche.

MuthaFunka said:

How could you possibly know what he's done or hasn't done? It's obvious that you are not familiar with video making so what makes you think that you have any authority to say that he doesn't?

I mean, really now.

Ben never said they go out and find ugly chicks and make them beautiful. You made that ridiculous comment. Once again making an extreme opposite comment that just makes you look like you really didn't understand what he said.

He is saying that even so called real life beautiful women are tweaked with overexposed, extreme lighting, and even post production work to look even more flawless. Why are you in such denial over this? I mean, it's common knowledge that this happens. From a Britney Spears video to a Ludacris vid.

MuthaFunka said:

benyamin said:

LMAO! So merely "meeting celebs" NOW means "I'm a filmmaker".

Then hey, good luck with "Raiders of the Lost Ark 7"! And make sure you get those "soft blurs" and get that "color contrast" right! Fucking fraud.

JustErin said:

Erin, please. I've worked in film since 97 and have worked in music videos since 98, so don't you try and say what I do and do not know. I'm willing to bet money that I know more about filmmaking than this kid you're sticking up for, so I wouldn't speak for him so valiantly. I know he's your e-friend and all, but he doesn't shit about music videos.

And the mistake you're making is thinking I'm talking about the "Main Star" of the video, which I'm not. I'm speaking of the video vixens that appear in the videos, do you REALLY think music directors want to spend hours on "fixing up" the video vixens? No. They don't.

MuthaFunka said:

Oh honey, again you didn't comprehend what he said. He didn't say he met these people, he said he worked for WB and those people were his bosses.

I dunno how you come up with this stuff.
