Movies and Modelling!!!

[letsgobrowns82]

Well I have about seven hours of free time by myself to model CRAZY!!! Anyways I'm a huge "movie re-watcher" for lack of a better term and was wondering how many of you put on movies as background noise while modelling and what they are. Personally I'm a huge "Big Lebowski" fan. That movie is awesome and I play it all the time on my computer while building. Then I would say Star Wars IV, V, and VI. Lastly I love to put on youtube vids by some of you guys, Schweinhund227, SMA, The Painting Clinic, and Scale Model Medic just to name a few. So thats it I'm going to be up for a while and thought I'd start a thread and throw this out there.

I'll listen to music while modeling, but I never watch anything. It's too hard to focus on both.

I'm the same as you buddy, lots of 'u-tub' tutorials, other things i watch include old special effects documentarys, usually about Star Wars or ILM. This is very old school but NO cgi, this was when models ruled space ?

Very cool way of presenting a documentary 8)

And if you were not such a fan of the prequels then this site is a must. Very funny ;D

And, of course Master Girvan's videos on random play, always a favourite. ;D

Enjoy.

I'll have the radio on, I listen to a lot of talk radio and baseball games (baseball is better on the radio than on TV). I don't have a TV anywhere near my bench, which is in the cellar.

When I'm at the bench the little stero I have down there I get ONE and only ONE station that will tune in ha ha. So I get to listen to a station that is about fourty minutes from me lol. Isnt that Ironic, the station that is closest to me doesnt come in but a station that is fourty minutes away does lol. Least they play some decent music and gives me something to listen too haha

Nice Hooterville, I hear ya. I cant get any stations in my basement. Thankfully my computer is right on my model work bench though so I have access to all my movies and youtube vids!

I also watch a ton of movies over and over again. I prefer to watch lots of DVD TV Series like Seinfeld, 30 Rock, Frasier, Mythbusters, How It's Made. I stream most everything I can now through my computer hooked up to my tv mounted on teh wall above the bench. Since, I've seen most of everything I tend not to look up too much and it provides lost of background noise I've always been big on some kind of interference in the background, but music always seems to distract me FAAAAARRRRRR more than Movies / TV

 

[letsgobrowns82]

All right TBadger, so I'm not the only one. My wife thinks I'm crazy because I can watch the same movie over and over. Like you though I pretty much just listen to them because I have seen them so much I can see it in my head if I'm listening.

I've driven my wife to near violence watching the same movie over and over

 

[Cave_Dweller]

My go-to movie is Aliens. Can't get enough of it. What awesome models and fx for the era!

I listen to a lot of music, metal, blues, electronica, country mainly. Also stream a lot of YouTube and movies to my iPad, which I keep on my workbench. Sometimes I listen to audiobooks, which lend themselves quite well to our hobby, I've found.
