hey guys/gals

i went to the Australian Effects and Animation Festival on Monday. They had the head VFX Supervisors from ESC Entertainment (the brother's and warner bros company) talking on how they did some of the signature shots for Reloaded. They ended up doing the burly brawl, freeway chase, and a few others i can't mention because they aren't in the trailers :P

I spose i can't really say too much because i know A LOT of you are really looking forward to it *cough*, gordy/nathan *cough* :) But what i will say is that 1. The Matrix will look budget compared to RELOADED, 2. The trailers really don't do it justice.

oh yeah.. the brothers are the wachowski brothers... but the ESC guys just kept referring to them as "the brothers"

Anyways, i for one am even MORE excited than i was... and i really didn't think that was possible.

cheers.

you wouldn't have seen any of the Revolutions stuff i'm pretty sure... don't think they've even finished all the post production for it, but i suppose still doesn't mean they haven't finished a few shots.

anyway if ur watching the trailers on the web it's all for Reloaded.

and yes chop, take a change of pants... maybe 2 :P

Revolutions...yea thats what it was called

it had neo getting hit by someone then he goes flying backwards doing some sort of flip, hitting the wall horizontally, then when he bounces off it, the wall ripples and cracks...looks awesome

another scene is with neo and the "mr anderson" guy running flatout at each other, punching each other at the same time, and then bouncing back even faster:D

is good

sound like the 2nd movie?

i rang my housemate at his gf's house... apparently they're both screeners... dammit... i wanted dvd quality shite...

i'll b watchin it at cinema's anyways

These days the really good movies they dont release screeners coz of all the piracy!

I bet its a cam in the cinema job.

The DVD's havent even been released for reloaded for a rip to even be done.

yea i just checked...as far as i know, there is only a screener out, audio quality not too bad but video could be better...

"The DVD's havent even been released for reloaded for a rip to even be done"

that you know of:D

u can prob even buy matrix 3 dvdrip from honk kong or 4 if u r lucky, even tho it hasent been filmed as yet! :D or atleast thats what it says on the cover buy what on the cd is...

Most of the good quality rips of top end movies (pre release date) - are the evaluation copies given to the Academy - or for reviewers I guess.

I saw son of rajab of the Rings 1 and 2 before the hit Australian cinemas....about every 30min a caption came across the bottom of the screen."For your consideration", or "For consideration by the Academy" - something like that.

This means the Reloaded rips out there could possibly be from a DVD....

matrix was a super anti-climax, i think i need revolutions to be satisfied.......................................................................

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
