    pre-production New filmmaker looking for advice

    Because you're the one offering the job. It's as simple as that. Whether an actor has no experience at all or has been in the business for fifty years, anything they sign up for will be on their record somewhere. Imagine one of your no-experience actors turns down a one-day gig in favour of your...

    Outside of the Box

    🧐 Ahhh, OK, so I did interpret it correctly at first. Upon re-watching, I assumed it was an "accent" issue, and that the world outside was being drained of colour by the strange new arrival ... I'm not sure how to easily convey the absence of something that's not necessarily present. All I can...

    Outside of the Box

    Bog standard laptop speakers for me (at the moment) and nothing about the audio rankles except "the colllllar, it had never been gone before". Preceded by a shot seemingly emphasising the cat's bare neck, it took me three views to figure out it was the colo(u)r, not the collar that was missing...

    Cosmic Lodge short film

    Aha! Although we're broadly in agreement on several points, I think this is where we most diverge. πŸ™‚ I would argue that unless you toil through the iterative process early in your learning, you can't really appreciate the value of automated assistance and where it is best applied. Worse, you...

    Cosmic Lodge short film

    As rule, in any creative process, once you've signed off on a project, leave it alone! It may be flawed and imperfect in many ways, but if you've taken it to the point where you feel you can say "that's done, it's finished!" then that's where you should stop. Constantly refining various...

    Impossible To Watch

    Ummm ... that's not (at all) how I'd see it. To my mind, the goal of "creativity" is to transform something ordinary (messy, worthless, broken ...) into something less ordinary. One might argue that a "true creative artist" would have no regard for the eventual value of the work created, but the...

    Impossible To Watch

    πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Jeeeez ! That's surely the embodiement of ADHD? I think the biggest hurdle faced by those who want to push the boundaries of visual technology is that the vast majority of poeple (i.e. potential customers) are already maxxed out with what's available, so no matter how great the development...

    ai Working on an Offline Tool (w/ AI) to Make Transcript Wrangling Easier - Thoughts?

    A technical question: have you considered how you (or the software) will handle different accents? Most good quality voice-to-text software that I'm familar with needs to be trained to recognise a single voice being "textified" ; automated "textifiers" - such as YouTube's subtitling and...

    ... or more likely burn him for being a witch. πŸ”₯ You'll also have the problem of how any "magical" 21st Century technology can continue to work once its onboard power supply runs out. And that's assuming it's a fairly simple technology like a flashlight; a laptop usually needs a variety of...

    Making a movie about people talking of the interstellar war.

    Of everything you've written over the years, this is what stands out for me as the real obstacle to a change in direction: you have no exit strategy from your current situation. Unless and until you write yourself out of (that part of) the law firm equation, you'll never make any significant...
