So I sold one of my videos to Japanese Television, and - General

Sounding more and more like $25 to me.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057010] I don't think I'm a celebrity, I think you just know fuck all about this art form. Get the fuck out of this thread and never look back, Jack.[/QUOTE] Guys, I'm not sure now, but I think he's doing that on purpose. I mean seriously. Although about such payments, television shows usually pay about 50-200 $ for those videos.

So How much did you get payed for it?

[QUOTE=Obi Wan;40057251]then why didn't you just put, "one of my videos was used on japanese tv" instead of, "i sold a video ;););)" either you're just attention seeking really hard, or you're just dumb[/QUOTE] The very nature of Art is to seek attention.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057285]The very nature of Art is to seek attention.[/QUOTE] I dont mean to be rude but I wouldnt count it as art

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057285]The very nature of Art is to seek attention.[/QUOTE] No, no it's not. Not at all. I apologize, but you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057285]The very nature of Art is to seek attention.[/QUOTE] Is being a dick also an art form, because you're getting more attention with it than with the video? In other news, how much did they pay you?

Well, why don't you back your claim up, instead of just talkin' shit. I'd like to hear it.

This is like the "Streisand effect" in its full glory.

What are you going to spend your $50 on?

Did you sell it to this guy [img]http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/27251980.jpg[/img] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Image macro" - MaxOfS2D))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Lukeo;40057309]What are you going to spend your $50 on?[/QUOTE] Probably on more trash for his "art"

[QUOTE=proch;40057297]No, no it's not. Not at all. I apologize, but you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.[/QUOTE] If you do art, and want people to watch it, you are doing it for attention. If you make art and do not want people to see it, you are not doing it for attention. Once in a while, an artist works privately and not for attention, and when they die, the world gets to see their art if it is any good. There are a few cases like this. However, this is the minority. Now are you able to articulate your rebuttal?

How much did you pay them?

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;40057300]Is being a dick also an art form, because you're getting more attention with it than with the video? In other news, how much did they pay you?[/QUOTE] Sadly, being a dick is an art form. Bill O Reilly makes millions off of it. I just do it for free.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057155]Hey, thanks for a real question! Okay, the criteria for a GOOD rube Goldberg are as follows: No editing. Doesn't matter if your machine is three minutes long. If it has edits, It is less impressive than a machine that is shorter, but has no edits Quality of Camera work (You can have the best Rube ever, but if you can't film all the details, it might as well not exist- This is not to be confused with the quality of the camera itself--Just because something has high production value does not mean it is better than something with low production value. I wish I had a better camera- Unfortunately some people confuse production value to production quality. Which is like saying Justin Bieber's Cd is better than Kurt Cobain's demo tape because more money was spent on it. One has to consider the supplies and scale of the machine. OK-Go's Rube for instance, has a price tag on it of 1000's...so you can't really compare theirs to mine. Of course theirs is flashier and more exciting in ways...they spent shit loads of money and had shit loads of space. One must judge the machine in the context of other similar production values. OK.Go had a pretty damn good machine, although I prefer smaller scale ones. I'd never compare mine to theirs, but I would compare mine to Pitagora Suichi. Quality of interaction between objects and complexity, and movement. Rubes are essentially music for the eyes, to look good, they require unique movements, such as arcs, sprials, bounces, usually a combination of the three. There is no difference between a tire rolling and a spool rolling, it is what you make it do. An inherently bad rube is when people use marbles to take the place of dominoes. Dominoes are about creating variety through repetition, where rubes are solely about variety. Longer is not necessarily better. The Rube must be judges on how interesting itself is. Der Lauf Der Dinge is a 30 minute slong rube (with 3 edits, so technically 3 10 minute rubes) however some parts are boring. You can have a 30 second rube jam packed with intricacies, which would make it better than a 2 minute rube jammed packed with molasses. So these are GENERAL rules for this art form. Art definitely has some sort of unspoken guidelines, but the beauty is sometimes people figure out how to break them. Now if you scour youtube (which is mainly responsible for the resurgence of this art form), you will see plenty of talent. Also, plenty of shit that doesn't even come close to the video japan bought. And I never said I was THE BEST, however, go do your research, oh and check out my 189 rubes and THEN start talkin' shit. I'll respect it more for sure.[/QUOTE] Yours are shite, this is an example of a GOOD machine [video=youtube;qybUFnY7Y8w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w[/video]

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057211]I expected people to ask, but I didn't expect people to be a dick when I wanted to withhold that information. If someone came up to me and went ''I sold a painting'' I'd say 'Great! Good going, yo! Let's smoke a blunt in celebration!''[/QUOTE] Then why bother putting "So I sold one of my videos" in the title? This logic doesn't make much sense.

Has your channel received a boost in views after this was aired?

So, how much money did you get from selling your video to a Japanese television?

Also, how much did they pay you for it?

[QUOTE=D3vils Buddy;40057345]Yours are shite, this is an example of a GOOD machine [video=youtube;qybUFnY7Y8w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w[/video][/QUOTE] I said this was a good machine, ASSHOLE. Fucking READ. [editline]27th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=squids_eye;40057349]Has your channel received a boost in views after this was aired?[/QUOTE] Yes.

I presume the producers of the show offered you some monetary value of sorts for your little contraption, would it be possible to reveal the numerical value of such a payment rounded to the nearest whole number?

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057301]Well, why don't you back your claim up, instead of just talkin' shit. I'd like to hear it.[/QUOTE] So what are you spending your $20 on? Please let it be a noose....

I really can't see how it can be bad to tell how much they paid for it. This is basically what would've happened: "Hey, how much they paid you" "They paid me 500$" "Wow, good on ye!". End of fucking story.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057353]I said this was a good machine, ASSHOLE. Fucking READ. [editline]27th March 2013[/editline] Yes.[/QUOTE] Yea I'll admit I couldn't be bothered to read all that, like you cannot be bothered to say how much you got for you video. Not much I assume. [video=youtube;_ve4M4UsJQo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ve4M4UsJQo[/video]

This is a very good machine, although there is an edit So not QUITE as impressive as it makes it out to be but still very good. However you can't really compare this to what I do It is in a different 'class' In the same way there are different scales of Model Trains.
