jesus people!

Ugh I hate researching editing techniques, let alone when other people use and abuse them shamelessly! IE: the program Crazy Talk, a post editing facial animation program, many people are now using it in SL very n00bly, mostly cause they think it can only edit pictures to animate in film, even to the point of creating an entire "talk show" with these pictures. People are abusing the power it has, instead they're making a video every 5 minuets with it and act like its "The most awesome thing ever known to man since inventing sex". heres a better example for those not femiliar with the program and post editing techniques, its like taking a computer... or a person with the IQ of a billion, and use it/them to hammer an nail into a piece of wood for your kids tree house. These people take something new and use it for the most primal ability's it has, no i'm not saying I know everything and produce the best work cause I sure as hell don't. But at least I attempt to improve with all the work i do and explore new ideas rather than be the guy in 2007 who still rolls around the first stone wheel a caveman made cause it was just so freacken awesome! Who's telling these people they're good. if your a friend than done lie and tell them the truth.


That got me thinking, YouTube is another good example. You have people who spend months on brilliant projects, or teach "do it yourself" videos to those with out educations, comedy videos and parody's that take creativity. Than you have the other 80% of the videos on Youtube, people whining for 10 minuets about their day looking for sympathy, drunks posting a rant like they're the smartest SOB in the world and had an epiphany, or some ignorant who-diddy making a discriminatory remark to someones work.

Man I love how society works.
