Although it's actually more a review on the new 3D HFR technique than on the movie itself.
Did anyone have a chance to watch the Hobbit movie yet? My personal impression is that this new HFR technique really has a fascinating quality. But it won't establish in the near future if it stays the way it is now in my opinion. Because of all the detail it's hard to focus on the story and the feelings of the characters, which leaves the viewer totally unaffected of any emotions. There's no typical movie atmosphere either.
Since movies and TV in Germany are usually German dubbed even the voices were kinda annoying, like in a badly synchronized documentation. Usually I don't mind that when I go to the cinema, so I think this might be also due to the new technique they employed.
If you're still thinking about going I recommend to watch the normal 3D or 2D version to get the full experience.
Other than that not much has happened since I uploaded my latest deviation. I'm currently enjoying my free time during the christmas holidays. Who knows, maybe a new image comes out of it? Anyway, I wish you all a merry christmas.
Btw: I want to thank everyone who's spent money on my calendar this year! Unfortunately DA doesn't tell who exactly purchased them. Feel free to let me know so I can thank you personally!
And because it will probably take a while before I'll write a journal again, I'll use the space for a couple of features.

Help us artists set ourselves apart
Yeah, I, too, have considered deleting my entire gallery from deviantart after being a member for 16+ years on this platform. There's not so much we can do about our art being used as training material but it's moreso the attitude of deviantart towards this problem and the 'jumping on the bandwagon mentality' that leaves a foul taste in my mouth. But I'm not going to add more fuel to the fire for now after the shitstorm that has been going on yesterday. Instead let me make a constructive suggestion. What sets us oldschool artists apart from people creating images using AI generators? The creation process! Give us the option to include multiple images in one post so we can show people how our work was handcrafted. Let us complement our artworks with sketches, concept arts, wips or process videos. Artstation can do it, even Instagram does that better than deviantart. Speaking of. Instagram is where I post more regularly these days. Find me there in case I decide to delete my gallery
Is browsing still possible?
I want to browse specific topics for certain keywords. Example: When I open the "resources" topic it doesn't let me search for specific things in this particular topic. Instead I get an infinite random list of all possible resources ever uploaded on DA. What good are brushes from 2005 to me? If this is not possible yet, how can the site miss such a vital feature? I'm stuck and frustrated. Plz help. Thanks. PS: Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times - I can't even find help topics around here lol.

It takes a little bit of time to get adjusted but by the end of the movie I didn't notice the frame rate anymore.
The only downside on my part is that with all the details the scenery look somewhat « fake ». It wouldn't have been a problem for a normal movie but for a fantasy movie it kinds of make the mattepaintings and 3D less beliveable.
