@axknickerbocker Yooo thanks man. I think about these things alot. Sounds and why they happen and when with the right effects add so much to storytelling for me.

This is what GenAl is going to bring:
1. Phase out consumer access to local compute by pricing you out and forcing artificial scarcity.
2. Charge for all processing power you use for working, gaming/video streaming, everything - they will make it your only option.
3. Change pricing models to charge you by month, by hour, then by minute.
4. Monitor it all and censor it as they please.
Their Terms of Service will dictate it all and without the power of choice, they won't care how anyone feels about it.
Full control.
Everything As A Service.
You will pay by the minute to be perpetually surveilled.
GenAl and data centers, the Trojan horse - subsidized by your payments and your tax dollars.
Don’t fall for it.

the more I see of this kind of garbage, the more i wonder what kind of automated propaganda machine is responsible recycling the same formats of posts/"totally not ads"/slop videos on such a wide scale.
AI is not here to "destroy Hollywood" or to "democratize creativity" or whatever other nonsense is being used to sell the idea of it to the general public, and the data centers enabling it are not being made possible by $20/month "Pro" subscription revenue.

🚨 BREAKING: Hollywood should be worried. AI just wiped out the most expensive part of video production. No crew. No sound designer. No post-production pipeline. Alibaba’s open-source model WAN 2.6 generates complete audiovisual scenes in one shot. 7 insane examples 👀:

just read this in an investor update
"older engineers who graduated from college pre-GPT are actually the best-suited for our purposes. They have fundamental programming ability that's lost amongst most of the current-gen."
the AI-induced thinking/skills decay has begun

@LukeBarnett Love to (not) see it.
Have yet to meet a single person who actively wants to consume AI generated content. Only make it for others to consume.

Done talking about AI. You do you. I'm gonna go make an all practical monster film and enjoy creating with community.

@hmkherman not really. but for $60, you'd probably appreciate Reaper.fm. it's powerful, quick to learn, used in serious pro studios...totally worth the price if you're able.

most of the synths used on classic albums were selected BECAUSE of their sound and presets, then dialed in further from there
yes, you CAN get most synths to do the things you want with enough time and tweaking. but isn't the whole point of buying a synth (or any instrument/tool) to be able to get the sounds you want quickly and easily?

@ryanbooth @ScottJeschke same! was such a unique project to work on, we did some once in a lifetime stuff for it that i hope people will continue to appreciate as it ages.

@axknickerbocker @ScottJeschke uh, that is one of my favorite films! will only continue ascending to its rightful place over the years...

Made in my garage. No AI. No crew. 1 min of your time.

REENTRY| Plunging through reentry, a lone astronaut clings to fragments of another life. This short was made in my garage with no budget, no crew, and NO AI. I retaught myself basic VFX compositing in After Effects, and put many hours into making this a fully-human-made piece that I could be proud of. Special thanks to my wife and children for putting up with the process and making a few guest appearances. I hope it connects for you! If it does, a share or a repost would mean the world :) Many thanks! - Scott #FilmTwitter #shortfilm #astronaut

ha, same! post sound team. captured and edited a lot of authentic stuff for it that you might appreciate:
rocket engine elements were captured in part at NASA JPL for liftoffs and flight.
the suit airflow in the moon sequence is the real thing - recorded Neil Armstrong’s suit at ILC Dover.
all the suit movement sound is real - sourced from private collections of artifacts around the country.
and lots more!

@axknickerbocker Oh man, thank you so much! First Man is one of my all time favorites. What department? That's so cool!

@StephenSeanFord ok new idea hear me out
TWO companies own everything

@j_stocky Thule elk = forest monsters
Macaws, pitched down 50% = dinosaurs
Tree frogs, pitched down = tech UI

Was doing sound design library searching and I didn’t know Brown Hyenas sounded like the Grudge girl

@Drewfromweb3 Great sound separates the amateurs from the pros. Dialog (if there is any) tells you the story. Music tells you how to feel about it. Sound effects immerse you in it completely.
You can have the best footage ever, and bad sound will destroy it even faster than silence will.

@axknickerbocker @shkeffys No lol, great talent is great because they're good at all 3
