As I understand it, visual effects is special effects, like CGI, scale models, explosions, etc., whereas art direction is like the cinematic equivalent of "set design." [i]Pan's Labyrinth[/i] was a deserving winner here because it created a unified look from the old house and the woods and the labyrinth: old and dark and mysterious. I think the category has to have some overlap with costumes, too.

from chicagoist:
You can't throw a stone amongst a bunch of hipsters in the Wicker Park / Humboldt area without a decent chance of accidentally hitting Plastic Crimewave's carefully managed -- and now more tightly clipped -- 'fro. Long a staple of the local psych rock scene, at least as a prodigious historian and record-keeper with a killer collection (some of which saw airtime on a recent Market Frenzy podcast), Crimewave is assembling what he calls his Vision Celestial Guitarkestra at The Empty Bottle. The idea is to get dozens of guitarists together to play a single chord -- admission is free if you bring your own axe and a short lesson on how to play the single chords will be given -- in an attempt to either a) summon our alien overlords or b) shatter every fucking window at The Bottle. Either way, we're curious to see how the whole thing pans out.Empty Bottle, Tuesday, 9:30 p.m., $8 (free if you bring a guitar and play), 21+

I wish people wouldn't change their handles so drastically when in the Sandbox.
Or whatever. But if you're going to, I'm going to eye you with suspicion and indignance.

Okay "CrunkleJ".

I keep reading that name as "cacahuate blanco".
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 28 November 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
You mean "cacahuete"?
― jaymc, Monday, 28 November 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
"CrunkleJ" was my name during a different period of my life. The last time I used the sandbox, I was in a stinky office in a once-great American city scraped flat by the roller of the deluge and man's apathy toward man.
xp - No, I mean "cacahuate"

Oh LL, the LWV will not sue you because your user name falls under fair use and then also, the first legal step in a copyright action is a c&d letter, and once you comply, they can't pursue it. And even if they do, the remedy is an injunction, not damages.

thank you! i appreciate your expert opinion.

Huh, apparently "cacahuate" is used in Mexico and "cacahuete" in Spain. I guess the latter was what was used in my Spanish II textbook.

I have had to track my work hours for a couple months now and you know, if you put it off, it turns into a huge nightmare. I'm trying to piece together what I did last Tuesday, and I'm just not sure. Eek.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 28 November 2011 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, that's me basically every week.
― jaymc, Monday, 28 November 2011 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
I do keep a to-do list, though, so I know what my assignments were during the week, and I can also consult my e-mail to see what I notified people about.
― jaymc, Monday, 28 November 2011 16:52 (twelve years ago) link
Yeh, I'm going through my emails, but there is some stuff I do that doesn't leave much of a trail. The two hardest parts for me are:
1. It's hard to track how much time I spend playing IT Guy. 2. I worry about accuracy and ethics when the time is billable to a client.
It's concerning when at the end of the a busy 8 hour day, I wind up with a total of 6 hours on my time sheet.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 28 November 2011 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
can you develop a template or something? a list of things you normally do and then check off stuff at the end of the day?
― La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 28 November 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
that way you can just ask yourself "did i do this y/n" rather than "what did i do all day"
back when I had to do billable hours (which is the worst work task on the face of the earth btw) I always added 15 minutes to everything I did and, if all else failed, padded the remaining time in my day w/ like "misc. -- time management"
then one day the vp told me they just want it to add up to 40 every week so I stopped caring
