While I'm firmly in the camp of "hot chicks" aren't that smart or funny...what Olivia is doing is no better, but certainly no worse, than any other dslr how-to vid I've seen online. It's just as boring as EVERYBODY else's videos.
I'm hoping to do a few short vids soon and I'm probably going to have to pay an actress to star in them and if you think I'm going to hire a fat or ugly actress, you're nuts. I'm going to get the hottest I can afford.
@alcomposer ...let's hope he ends up like Thompson too. :P
What's newsworthy, at least to me, is seeing just how shameless this Olivia fake DSLR tech expert schtick can get before I can log on here and stop seeing swoony mentions and links of what's basically become Kardashian: DSLR Edition, and before Emm decides even he's offended by how low he's sunk with this pinup sock puppet nonsense.
I used to like his site, and his approach to figuring out low budget solutions to DSLR filmmaking. But this Olivia experiment is such a drag on so many levels. It's beneath him, and anyone looking for actual information about this subject.
Olivia wasn't stoned in this video. She's just a dumb, disinterested kid working a whatever on-camera modeling gig in a cheap Valley office park stall. In the next stall over another kid just like her is in a string bikini straddling a Harley for a low end biker mag shoot and 2 stalls down more kids like her are shooting bad HD porn under flouresecent shop lights. In LA these are all equivalent gigs, in ascending order of prestige.
Olivia in this video reminds me of that Japanese girl that stares at her webcam and smiles... you know... the one on Youtube that has like 10,000,000 hits per video...
Yeah- this one:
Just remember- try to look away at some point- otherwise she will own your soul!
Ok, I'm through the video and it wasn't that bad. I have no idea what part is what in a mic, and Olivia said she hasn't focused on audio that much so who cares that she didn't know what was in the mic.
@alcomposer ....dumb and stoned can easily be mistaken for each other. :P
Olivia is by far the best tech guru on the web. Hands down. No one else comes close. One of the great things about her videos is you can turn off the audio. THAT's how good she is. Think Adam Wilt could get away with that?
Could Sir Robert the Juicedlink look any more uncomfortable? Could Olivia the hottie look any more bored? This is a classic. If I didn't know better, I'd say she's stoned.
