Raw Clip of Pandora's Box

It’s the raw clip. Sorry for Fairy’s skirt flying up…

This is the raw output from the Smartsuit Pro MOCAP suit.

Needs editing currently beyond my ability.

Easy to fix the issues, once you know iClone 8’s animation editing software.

One of perhaps 12 software packages I’ve had to learn at least a little.

That one needs to be “well known” to fix the problems with this.

Hand misalignment for one.

Fairy’s Skirt? That’s just a wind setting. I have it too high.

But Fairy doesn’t mind.

Fact is, the allies will take ANY form you desire.

Visibly! Hey beginners…

We don’t fake magic in here. We don’t “visualize” it, pretend it, sleep on it.

It’s real, IN YOUR FACE magic.

Why I get lynched elsewhere for trying to interest people trapped in the pretend stuff, is a mystery to me.

Although Kachora’s Zombies are behind a lot of it, always trying to introduce the idea only the first 4 books are real, and that everyone would be convinced if we’d just show them don Juan.

Who they want us to believe, is that fat profiteer Tata Kachora.

But watch out what you do with your Ally.

I haven’t had trouble with “Fairy”, but my ally “Fancy” is a bad girl.

And they have weird rules about what constitutes “permission” to kidnap you into their world.

Don’t steal from them being an odd one.

If you steal, they get to steal you?

I always refused to take what they put in my path, so I don’t really know what happens if you take something from their realm.

And don’t falsely accuse them of stuff.

The way one of the chacmools accused them of taking those karate pictures of Taisha.

I don’t know what they do if you lie about them, and harm their reputation.

But I DO KNOW, they like to be featured in social media.

I suppose it makes them “more real” in our world.

And if you stage truck accidents from a high freeway overpass above the tall forests north of Tokyo in Japan, where they die in a fiery crash over and over for your amusement, they might blow diesel smoke in your face if you try to “Moth Dust” trick.

Allies are very fun, but you have to use “common sense” when dealing with them.

Just like Cholita, if you screw up they might take magical revenge.

We’ve been discussing what to do with the clips.

It comes down to, can we trust them to be preserved?

Techno would probably like them posted here.

But I’d like to post them only to Jadey’s feed, so we can monitor hits and see what’s more popular.

Once there’s all tensegrity moves and lots of cartoons, her channel might get some heavy traffic.

Or not.

So here’s what I’m thinking.

Raw clips can go here. Just enough to learn the pass.

Finished with special effects, on Jadey’s page. We can link to that from all of our social media.

Except that instagram seems to clip the videos to a square size.

I don’t know if it does that on cell phones, but on PCs it’s pretty bad clipping:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq3C1K9M5QB/

I’ll also put anything useful to people on Github, to protect it.

ChatGPT says it’s unlikely Github is going away anytime in our lives.

But we’ll keep a copyright on them to prevent profiteering.

The movements will go into Blender, with a single character to do them.

Anyone can download that and make new videos.

“Only Carmela” is what I was warned last night, gazing into the raw emanations.

I seem to have picked up a “Cartoon Advisor” from infinity.

Has yet to take visible form.

I just hope it isn’t a stuttering Elmer Fudd.

Maybe Bugs Bunny with a magical carrot to munch on would be nice?

The text size in the pane on the left still needs to be bigger, or just make the pane bigger. And I’m not sure that woman would appreciate the Marilyn Monroe skirt thing going on (maybe tone it down just a bit, shy of a ‘full beaver’).

I’d prefer those later wall backdrops that you put together yesterday:

/t/how-best-to-make-cartoons/2961/13?context=1

/t/how-best-to-make-cartoons/2961/11?context=1

The monotone gray doesn’t have as much visual appeal, now that I’ve looked at it for longer.

Edit : ‘AT_Stone_wall_06’ and ‘AT_Stone_wall_01’ are two more that would look good, in 4K that is. And yes, it’s always a good idea to have your content natively hosted on multiple platforms. A link to the YouTube version, with full effects, could be inserted into the practice video posts.

I ran into trouble with scaling issues on the bricks, requiring me to learn stuff about the tools, that the manufacturer didn’t explain very well.

But I’ll get it down.

And I suppose I’ll just have to shut off the wind or make Fairy’s skirt “heavier”.

So far those controls won’t work. It’s strong wind, or no wind at all.

And obviously a full manifestation of Fairy like that, is a rare event.

Usually it’s just shoulders and up at the most.

I’ll fix that, but the controls to make part of her body fade to invisible, also aren’t working.

I can make clothing fade, but not characters.

I may have to “bury” her from the chest down, in another puff.

I have found how to make the puffs swirl, but haven’t had time to add it to any animations.

At least now, people can learn Pandora’s box pass.

I have Zuleica’s also.

But it needs more “adjusting” than Pandora’s box did.

NGL, a little disappointed the bunny is no longer farting.

Seriously though. This is fantastic!

I see now how it’s the same as that cubic centimeter of chance video.

Also, I wouldn’t have noticed Fairys skirt if you hadn’t posted it out. But I’m watching on my mobile. I’ll pull it on my big screen in a bit.

Agree that the text needs to be bigger.

Could we do something similar to the Chocmools videos, where they have a screen with just text first, then the screen of them doing the passes?

5

I don’t like that myself. It gets in the way of going back to look at details.

Besides, we don’t want to put the chacmools out of business.

Just preserve all of the moves, for those who are serious learners.

BUT, the videos will be around. Video editing is easy with free software these days.

Blender can do it. Professionally too!

Even resize.

So someone might edit these and remake them.

And if they aren’t making money off it, it doesn’t even violate the copyright.

I don’t see youtube recognizing anything we make, and taking it down.

6

Perfect timing! Just started doing that pass yesterday and apparently I was doing the last part wrong. I didn’t see the ball forming but I could definitely feel some warmth when I put my hands closer and closer

7

Not sure if that text is the final version, but the date is probably some time in 1996.

8

Carlos released the ball on the other side.

I have that in another recording, but just used the one needing less adjusting.

You can also rub the ball on your arms, to light them on fire with blue flames.

But hold it up above your head, and rub it down the arms. Don’t lose the ball, smoothly switch from one arm to the other.

I can’t show the variations in that video, they’ll have to go elsewhere.

You can also force the second attention fog to crystalize using that pass, walking around the room.

But obviously, it’s merely a way to form an imaginary container for intent, then release it to see what it forms.

Possibly it only works, because the old seers made it work.

Thus making up tensegrity moves is a crime.

Theft.

Date rape even.

9

I thought it was only months before he died, but I’m no good with dates.

If you remember 1996, I’ll change it.

10

If he released the ball on the other side then the other hand needs to be on top, or?Then we would have to start with left arm on top.Is it important which side goes first as long as it is 3 times alternating?

EDIT: Or the release is just not mirrored to the other side and the bottom hand opens the box instead of the top hand?

11

Awesome! Thank You

I’ll make sure the final is correct.

However that Pandora’s box still image in the wiki is the correct way to do it. So between that and the video, you should be good for now.

It’s here:

But you could also consult with Jadey. I didn’t realize she was there or had seen it at another time.

That’s good news!

Cholita was not there.

And once you can see what it does you’ll realize you can release on either side, and compress as many times as it takes to get an obvious “cluster” of sparkles in the middle, ready to be released.

I prefer to see a face in the middle there, before I release it. But some obvious sparkle is good enough.

And NEVER FORGET THIS!!!

We do not have any sacred scrolls.

Everything we discuss, is meant to be DONE.

By you. Or anyone.

None is secret, since a beginner can’t possibly do it anyway.

You will get to visibly see how it works eventually!

At that point you can modify it as you like.

Just don’t spread your own private modifications around. Because even if a seer is capable of doing that, who’s to say who’s a seer, and who’s a greedy con artist?

No one.

So we need a rule. Don’t make up movements.

Which I’m afraid, our leaders may not be heeding.

The reason for that is, the tensegrity forms are “phantom containers” for the intent of the old seers.

However much we retain of how they used it, even if Carlos put it into a “martial arts format”, the more their glowing awareness left over in the dark sea, will help select the right “bundle” of emanations to make it work.

Consider that in perfect silence, in perfect darkness, you can say “Hamburger”.

Then forget it.

10 seconds later, a hamburger materializes in the air, as real and colorful as anything.

I’ve even had them fall and plop on the bed, where I could pick them up and toss them to the side.

With a “thump” as I missed the trash can. It’s too dark to aim well.

I can’t do that on demand, but how many times do you have to do the impossible for it to be really cool!

The Tensegrity forms are very much like “phantom rooms”.

One seer gazes at the darkness, until they can see a table.

Then they gaze a chair beside it.

Then in silence, they “look to see” why that table and chair are there.

And a phantom room materializes from the dark sea of the emanations.

Mostly in Man’s band I presume.

But it won’t be stable unless two people do it, or unless a person and an ally “use it”.

You’re adding the latent flow of your awareness to specific emanations, and making a “new combination”.

Which is then easier to “locate”.

So we MUST keep the tensegrity forms pure.

To get the best chance to find the glow of leftover awareness, from the old seers.

But in the long run, once you can see, you can do as you please.

I can do Pandora’s box at least 5 ways now, none of which would be recognized by a beginner until they can see what the version Carlos taught us really does.

It stores intent into the space between your hands.

When you release it, it flows into the emanations where some are most prominent, for whatever reason.

And the emanations it first finds, materialize something visible.

If you were “expecting” a phantom, but without the book deal mind, you get a phantom.

But you could expect anything.

I just like sci-fi a bit too much.

I suppose the women could “expect” the latest Calvin Klein male model.

Too bad I can’t bring him home to Cholita.

She’d like that…

Looks a bit gay to me though, but that’s never bothered Cholita.

13

I don’t know when exactly it was, but it just can’t be late 1997. It could be early 1997 at the most.

14

I must have seen it elsewhere because I don’t think I was there. That’s why I think it has to be pre-1997.

15

put the Chocmools out of business…

??? I mean… are they still making tensegrity videos?

Maybe they are in the CG home library, which would explain why I haven’t seen them in anything since Volume 3.

16

OK so that visual with the directions typed out made it so much easier for me to understand. Her movements weren’t entirely clear to me and after reading it makes sense. In the animation, would it be possible to show a ball of light? And how the pressure from her hands is squeezing it together? I think if you showed light and it moving in the animation being directed by the hands, it would make so much more sense. I’m still fairly new to this and I greatly appreciate the work you’re doing.

17

This pass doesn’t really do much for me in the beginning of the J-curve, at least in my experience. I can be doing it over and over again and the puff I’m compressing is barely doing anything and isn’t very brilliant. Releasing it just causes it to fizz out anticlimactically. I need to be in the deep red for this pass to produce interesting results, which took over 2.5 hrs tonight. At that point there was a kind of dense fog, bright “retina burn effect” fringed puffs and vibrant blue orb-like clouds. Then the compression motion really does make the compressed puff become brilliant, with white highlights “visible.”

18

If you look through the Tensegrity library that we have in the Wiki, all of the videos there are in Cleargreen’s collection have a :white_check_mark: next to them.

To my knowledge they have not been adding videos of pre-existing passes. The latest videos are of movements we suspect have been invented, later. By who we do not know, and they’re not talking.

19

I’ll change it to be more vague.

I finally realized, worrying about dates is just inventory warrior thinking.

It’s better to organize passes by function and purpose.

For example, someone found passes to “add energy to the assemblage point”.

But we also know that there’s a pass to drop the assemblage point, by looking behind you and down.

And stellar hatch manipulates it in both directions.

So the dates of those aren’t really important, compared to the category of “Assemblage Point Manipulating Sorcery Passes”.

If we were to make a longer video that had multiple, with some commentary.

I suppose when Dance Home is finished, you could have each of the characters doing one from those that fall into that category, with some short discussion of what Carlos said they do. Take his writing, and have him speak it as he walks by the pass.

But still have the individual movement files just by name. So anyone wanting to see it more, can find that. Make sure the name spoken in the Dance Home version, corresponds to the name on the individual movement on your channel.

I gave up on the date code idea.

20

I’ll add special effects to the 3rd and 4th “view angle” of the finished video.

It’ll be front, top, right camera angles.

Then at left camera angle puffs will start to flow around.

And in POV, you’ll see the whole effect, including materializing a zombie just as it looks when I do it.

I’ve done that more times than I can count.

Cholita and I even had a “zombie battle” going on way back.
