    That was no ad, that was a link to scientific paper describing this method - watch full length video to see how it actuallyworks.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    If the people behind the ad were themselves fluent in Mandarin, they wouldn't anymore be looking for a person knowing Mandarin, as they would already have the talent in themselves.

    Or they could hire a freelancer who knows mandarin to write the ad. Freelancers aren't usually looking for long-term work, and this company might want someone long-term.

    Half of their bafflement is that they just don't play console games at all.

    They're probably familiar with the emulated cell phone versions.

    edit: You could easily get the same reaction from someone in the their 30s on this one.

    Not that U2 is the most difficult band in the world to cover, but that was quite solid. Respect.
    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    Pretty awesome. I suppose one thing that ticks me off (even with pro-works) is the constant change in camera angles and/or overuse of slow motion when someone lands a hit. It ruins flow, and should really be used to make up for a lack of stuntmen's martial arts skills and choreography.

    That's harsh criticism, but overall good work.

    Well, I imagine one 19 yr old kid would lack the martial arts skills and choreography of an animation department, though really I think the point here was for him to mimic a current popular style as a showcase of his capabilities.

    That is true. I don't blame him for lacking it. Pros lack them too.

    My intent was to point out something that could be improved upon, and also put into perspective that this is still a solo work by a young adult.

    Martial arts in film in general isn't as good as it was two or three decades ago. I attribute this to a decline in action stars.

    Reminded me of Yu Yu Hakusho for some reason. The only thing I am curious about is how long it took him to make it.
