Surround Sound, Dark Saber

Mapped surround-sound angles while nitpicking famous film mistakes. Ended the day praising Boba Fett lighting, lore, and ship design
Designing Better Spatial Sound for Films
12:30 p.m.
(c)
Given the set location, I think that, spatial sound awareness, surround sound, it is valuable.
Usually, film makers are lazy. It doesn't matter.
For me, if I were Quentin, for instance, in Pulp Fiction, do you remember, that scene, when Jules Winnfield / Samuel L Jackson, he shoots that guy who says What, then later onwards, in the movie, the guy Vincent Vega / John Travolta shoots by mistake, Alvin, or Marvin, that guy jumps out of the room and shoots at them?
The guy, Marvin, the gun shots, it would come from a different angle, so, the audience feels it, as though, it is very real, very visceral--hopefully disorientatingly!
See, it's placement, Quentin is lazy, as a big goof was that the bullet holes on the plaster wall were already made before Marvin shoots at them with a revolver, even Chandran Rutnam's associate Francis Ford Coppola was quite lazy, in The Godfather, the dirty cop that Michael Corleone/ Al Pacino shoots, he has a bullet hole in his forehead, before he is shot and there is a blood spray mist that erupts--
Placement, as in positioning. These guys, holding the boom sticks, they are also lazy. It's not cool. But that's the industry standard. They record unidirectionally, as those boom sticks only hear one thing or one input audio source. Even so, you can put
Let's say if there are 7.1 channels or 7.2
So, I guess, 7.2 channels?
2 x subwoofers are the 2 in 7.2, so, they can play some kind of music, usually, the soundtrack, music on a radio in torture scene in Reservoir Dogs, any music, typically, it is on stereo mode.
So, the subwoofers can be used for that, to replicate, mirror or represent the music, that can alter in volume, when the camera is closer or farther away.
The 7.0 channels,
this is the 360 degrees in surround sound
I don't know any of this s*** by the way
I am making it all up as I go along
Main:
1. Boomstick Actor 1 [ 0 degrees / 12 o clock]
2. Actor 2 [ 90 degrees / 3 o clock]
3. Actor 3 [ 180 degrees / 6 o clock, which will likely, be available at 4/5 or 7/8 o clock ]
4. Environment / Traffic / Car Moving by [ 7 o clock move to speaker 5 / 8 o clock ?, then 6 / 11 o clock?] ,
5. Clarify Dialogue / Simulate set environment
Extra:
6. Simulates more environmental sounds
7. Add resonance to 1, 2, 3 channel
Advanced:
8. Amplify jump scare
9. Surprise sound / low footstep treble
Tidal, Spotify Audio Quality and Popular Taste
1:30 p.m.
(d)
I used to have Tidal, which Jay Z was doing, it had good audio quality -- back in Singapore 2012 or so.
It wasn't that good, high fidelity audio, I honestly, couldn't tell the difference.
I think these songs are 320 kbps.
Spotify is 24 (low quality), 96 (normal/ regular), 160 (high) and 320 (very high) kbps.
I have a bad habit of cranking the volume on my tv to 100 and then also on my phone, so it's very loud.
I know I can go deaf, so, I reduce it, now, by forcing myself, although I love it on full blast.
I like this popular music, people have good taste.
Everyone reads my Captain's Log for instance!
Or maybe, people have bad taste.
Hmm

I have to get some more sugarless coffee or tea.
I saw this gent:
George Gilder!
He's a very cool guy! I think he is friends with Cheryl Fehlberg, the IDF fan page admin, who I admire.
I am a "Zionist", a big supporter of Israel.

Why Din Djarin Had Too Many Weapons
7:00 p.m.
(b)
I was also thinking, Mando, who I was sad to be plot spoiled into learning is Din Djarin, I guess the D is silent like in Django, Mando -- umm, it's not exactly a good look to have a spear and a dark lightsaber and also a rifle and a jetpack and a missile.
So, it's good he's re-purposing this beskar spear.
Admiring the Cinematography and Lighting in The Book of Boba Fett
7:15 p.m.
The cinematography is brilliant, I love the lighting, it is learnedly reminiscent of the clever, appropriate and real lighting used during the bombing in Dune.
I think the directors of photography are in fact, members of the ASC.
American Society of Cinematographers.
Connecting “This Is the Way” to Early Christianity
7:30 p.m.
(b)
This is the way. Sounds reminiscent of Jesus Christ's original secret cult breaking away from the Jews, discussed in brother Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas' work: the Hiram Key, which, although, has many mistakes, is quite a good read.
Quoting Ferhad Telling Lehan to Resign as a Freemason
8:00 p.m.
Ferhad, head of 200 cult member masons:
"Lehan, you don't want to come to meetings during Covid-19, you don't want to pay for food bills which you didn't ask for, you don't agree Rs 180b LKR Sohli Captain should have a double standard, you think you can speak to your friend Gotabaya about us, and so, you should resign as a Freemason".

"Brother Lehan, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day?"
"Oops"
"No, I meant:
"Brother Lehan, have you ever betrayed the secrets of the craft?"
"Have you forgotten your obligations?"
"No!"

Star Wars Memories and Electrifying an Aston Martin DB5
9:15 p.m.
(b)
This is crazy! I think, I remember, I got a space ship, when I played Star Wars of the Old Republic, in my laptop, this laptop I'm using, in Singapore.
I took the Sith side, and went as a Juggernaut / Tank.
I think that I'd perform a heretic Frankenstein operation on an Aston Martin DB5, I'd put an electric Tesla engine in it, then it's like a bullet.
Childhood F-22 Fascination and Later Fighter-Jet Doubts
9:45 p.m.
(c)
I used to, when I was real small, I had Windows Vista or XP, or something, and I had this F22 Raptor screen saver, I took it off after John McCain, who got shot down and was captured as a POW, he exposed how the budget is too high or wasteful for F22s and also, more importantly, they didn't eff up or catch Ironman.
My doubts on the F35 only began when they could not kill punchy, palooka Butch Coolidge in Die Hard.
Remembering Building Zoids Robot Toys in Singapore
10:45 p.m.
(b)
I used to build these Zoids toys, I'd buy from Singapore, the Takashimaya, or Robinsons, or Toys R Us, I don't know.
I love robots! I made a Tiger, I was less than 12, and the thing had a battery, it moved, but it was fairly complicated, a tad bit difficult to build it, to assemble it as it had so many small parts.

Designing Company Uniforms Inspired by Star Wars and Halo
Monday 7th, February.
12:30 a.m.
I love this uniform on Luke Skywalker in The Book of Boba Fett season 01 episode 06.
I think, our own firm's futuristic uniforms, we are inspired by Halo UNSC uniforms, the Star Trek uniforms, Star Wars officers, and this one worn by Luke!
"Command Division"
1. Lehan -- I will get a black robe like this one as my uniform. I want to go for black color. I don't mind white or red. Or blue. But I want to go for this Luke's robe, I call dibs as of 12:30 a.m. on (Monday) February 7th, 2022.
I also call shotgun, on my security team wearing the Storm Trooper uniforms and playing Imperial March whenever I am to enter a room or area of operations.
2. Jonathan will get something he wants, probably with a hood to cover his face, like the Anonymous people, the Guy Fawkes look. I think he can go for that, Emperor Palpatine Hood, or else, a Orson Callan Krennic white color. He can even go for the Star Trek or Halo, whatever. I recommend he go with White or Blue color. Or grey!
3. Jacques, he can have the Protocols of the Elders of Zion secret Moloch Bohemian Grove Illuminati red uniform that's been popularized by Alex Jones.
4. Thilanga uncle -- Sri Lankan National Dress, Pinstripe Suit and Tie is also perfect!
"Operations Division"
5. Robert Bigman -- [Details removed for security reasons]
6. Nanda, he can have the Sinhalese uniform.
7. Denzil can have the general uniform or something. I don't know, they can decide independently.
8. Charith, I don't know. Up to him.
9. Sanjeeva, I don't know. Up to him!
"Sciences Division"
10. Imtiyaz -- Arab uniform. Copy Prince Salman!
11. Eva / Sandalal / Lucky, I dunno.
12. Jude, I don't know.
"Brig / Cargo Hold / Air Lock (motto: "Walk the plank")"
13th. ███████ -- Jabba's Princess Leia!

How The Book of Boba Fett Recreated Young Luke Skywalker
1:15 a.m.
This Mark Hamill looks so young!
Oh wow, they digitally made him a composite of 70 Year Old Mark and a younger body double.
Omg, what the heck, they used a synthesizer for voice!
This is crazy!
It looks real!

Comparing Pauline’s Training to Luke Training Grogu
1:30 a.m.
(c)
I tried to make Pauline Weiss, my neighbour, a killer, I tried to train her like Luke trains Grogu, on this almost exact same training drone!
The Force is very weak in Pauline.
She's not a killer.
So, I had to drag Alex Marsh to play Star Wars.
The others, Liu, he is a guy, but he didn't play FPS types. Risa Riyanto or whatever, she wanted to play Fifa, which I only bought because of her, but decided it was so boring I couldn't do it. The rest also didn't play.
I was the only normal kid in the entire building, the entire student accommodation.
Pauline is okay, she likes David Bowie, and she tried to hook me up with the two Indian receptionists.
It's fine.
Whatever.
I have decided, in my infinite wisdom, and my good, gracious compassion, that, she will get me champagne, french wines, cheese, fashion stuff, perfume, Famas rifles, Le Clerc tanks, whatever Rafale does, and also United Nations Animal Rights Council votes.
Also, JCDecaux, this and that, a lotta French stuff.
I don't know, she has --
