I have taken note ... but will be otherwise occupied till at least some time next month to be able to go through any of my archives, let alone argue with my Win10 computer as to whether or not it has internet access for uploading anything of use. 😡

Seeing as I'm the one with the keys to the castle (if only for a week), Prince Leopold would probably be the more appropriate role! 🫅 Then again, if I get this new dress finished in time, maybe that'd be a vote for Maria ... 🤔

A few days later and I could probably have arranged a live backing track with a couple of hundred hurdy-gurdies all playing very slightly out of tune with each other (and maybe some real Germans chatting about their kühe) ... :D But for now, I'm shadowing your casting experience, trying to...

I read this through the day you posted, and thought it was a nice tight script, easy to visualise, and a classic story with beginning, middle and end ... but there was something bothering me about it that I couldn't put my finger on ... 🤔 Now I know what that was: Lyra has a flashback to when...

Greetings ! :hi:

Ah, don't think too hard about it! Nor too fast. I'm engaged in a private "observational study" at the moment, watching a colleague use a few different platforms as she lurches through the working day. More on this later (like, maybe a week/ten days/a fortnight later ... ) 😎

Salut, Mitchy !

Hmmmm ... I think this is where the greatest risk lies with this technology: Under the hood, so to speak, this is exactly the same algorithmic feedback loop that's employed by every online platform from Amazon to YouTube - an absurd, unblinking sucking up of the user's habits and...

Aw c'mon man : enough with these ancient compositions. Time to treat yourself to some modern music ... 😝 Better still, treat yourself to a talk on the intricacies of making a hurdy-gurdy : https://www.lesoncontinu.fr/event/pascal-cranga/ (that's on Day 2 of our festival in July)

😵‍💫

Along the same lines - the whales at 2m22s swimming backwards? Didn't spot that one the first time around. Otherwise, the only thing I picked up on was ... those damn cats again! The leg movements of the lynx at 0m37s and the leopards at 0m50s are "off". In the case of the leopards, the...

What I want really want to know is what's the story at 1m27s with the white minivan reversing up the street, then taking off against the flow of traffic ...? :D

@Nate North : your post above answered some questions before I'd asked them, but one remains - for long-format movie, do you see a market for a work that changes every time it's viewed? Narrative or non-narrative, I would think that anyone offering a 90-minute visual experience would want a...

Ah, don't worry about it! It's not like I didn't just spend two months trekking around four countries in search of the perfect button - the perfect patterned button - for a waistcoat I'm making to wear to the same opera venue in July. :cool: The venue and production in question, for anyone...

As a proud member of the HardlyAnyone Society, my stash of fabrics is well stocked with plain solid colours. 😝 I'm not opposed to patterned fabric (and yeah, of course I pulled them off the rack for the purposes of the photo above), but they're better suited to individual/small scale pieces -...

No reason to be embarrassed at all by that - it looks like it could easily have been slipped into a Monthy Python montage and no-one would have thought it below their standard. 👍 Have you sold the rights yet for the live action re-make? :pop:

I'm not not impressed by the work of a team of surgeons who claim to have helped a guy walk again using some AI, but (quoting from the article linked in the other thread): For good measure, they also provided us with a team photo: Oh, look: humans, humans, humans ... so what exactly did the...

😒 Mehhh ... someone plagiarised a whole LOTR trailer and ran it through three different AI video generators until it looked good enough pass for the output of one of them. So it's Peter Jackon's live-action LOTR resample as animation, directed by a guy with several AI accounts. In other words...

Let this moving image speak the thousand words :lol:: It accurately captures the listener's experience when faced with an instrument played by an enthusiastic amateur - of the kind one might find in an alehouse. 🍻 I imagine JSB would almost certainly have heard it played like this quite...

In the olden days, we used to call that "the magic of the internet" 🧙‍♂️ Fresh from making my own way down cobbled throughfares this weekend, may I suggest a small change to your description: hurdy-gurdy music from a coffeehouse, shouts and laughter from an alehouse, I would write: the...
