I do what's called 'full service' or 'end-to-end' video production. Basically, the video equivalent of a one-man band. 🎥Camera operator ✂️ Editor 🎧 Sound engineer 🎤 Interviewer Not for everyone, but it's efficient, low impact, and incredibly satisfying. From last week:

Got no skin in the Superman game, but I'm a huge fan of sincerity in storytelling. Introducing your sure-to-be yelled at Superman trailer with your hero being rescued by the magic flying dog and playing it 100% straight, no irony, just emotion? More of that please.

I will go to bat for both the It movies. Beyond the perfect casting of the kids, their adult counterparts, and Pennywise, there's a non-ironic warmth to the whole enterprise that's increasingly rare.

Love that Zemeckis is still interested in taking big swings, even when they result in films like Here.

re sequels that arguably outclass the original film, everyone talks about Terminator 2, The Empire Strikes Back, Godfather Part II… but the conversation is incomplete without Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers

They're large and open back, so they're best for indoor use. But they respond well to EQ, don't crush your jaw, and have the biggest soundstage of any headphone I've owned. In terms of drivability, staging, and value the Fidelios cannot be beat.

Not to point people towards The Bad Shop, but the Fidelio X2HRs are the best all-round entry-level audiophile headphones on the market and they're £68 during holiday sales. Launch price was £300.

Incidentally, this gym pic stuff is 30% monitoring my progress and 70% playing with lighting, grading, and emulation with a controllable (and available!) human subject. I'd very much like to work with some actual models / people who might want cool portraits down the line.

Underrated Horror Game Thing: You happen to have the same name as the protagonist and the horrors somehow know who you are and address you directly

If I mentally schedule a window to do something indulgent I will self-sabotage every time. My 'morning of gaming' became 'defrost the freezer with a meat tenderiser.'
