I edit and tinker in VFX. Cobra Kai, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin, Community, Super Troopers 2, HAPPILY, Silent Retreat. Proud new dad. he/him
Am I saying editing is fun? No. Am I saying I get to temp the music from the Star Trek 09 trailer into this scene with reckless abandon, hoping I've finally cut something that can function against this cue? Yes.

Smug white dudes making “here’s how you can tell this video of MLK Jr is AI generated” content is about to flood the internet two by two with Sora’s SlopTok content like a fucked up Noah’s Ark nobody wanted.

Genuinely curious if I could get Ronald Jenkees “stay crunchy” placed in a movie/TV show to excuse meeting him. Anyone remember this jam? youtu.be/lg8LfoyDFUM?...

I know Lawrence blowing out the match is widely considered to be the best cut in cinema history, but have you all not seen the gag in Holy Grail where Lancelot is really far away and running towards the guards and then all the sudden is really close and takes them by surprise?

Look I’m not saying AI is good, but ChatGPT is being used heavily on my next film…

Mostly in the form of me generating posters for things like “There Will Be Farts” for my new office, because I can’t stop working on movies containing fart jokes.

Would be dope if California got some tax incentives so I don’t always have to move to NYC to edit something.

I happened to see it on the same day as Superman and yet I haven’t stopped thinking about K Pop Demon Hunters since. How did that not get a theatrical release, ya dummies?

Uh oh, got a short job that requires me to actually understand color science more than I do.

So…about AI’s energy use…

“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”
Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
That's a long time in the microwave.

Dark Universe lives! Wonder if they’ll have a Russell Crowe face character?

The only complaint you are legally allowed to have have with Andor S2E08 is that they obviously temp scored a sequence with “Time” from Inception and didn’t change it enough when they scored for real.

(The episode/arc was incredible and I suck for even mentioning this gripe.)

Well, that was an all time scene with Whitaker in Andor season 2.

Can’t stop thinking about Sinners.

(Also very happy to report that The Vista has a pretty killer Cherry Coke mix at the fountain, something I feared might have been inadvertently lost in the Tarantino era.)

Feels good to have been in this film’s corner ever since I saw it at the Chinese opening weekend.

Remember thinking the movie felt like melting starbursts into your eyes. The final race is most joyous/emotionally charged montage work I’ve ever seen. Sound and picture singing.

Special Effects Box 11 is calling my name.
It’s like they’re throwing gold bars away

You all in Los Angeles need to go raid this

The sets/locations in Andor are insane and seem to be filmed in ways that are almost-purposeful middle fingers to the limitations of cinematography on the Mando stage. The Chandrila oner has like 5 elevation changes?

Damn, our boy Andor looking good in uniform in s02e01.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Can we talk about how great the mix is on Better Man? On my 15th rewatch of the Rock DJ oner, I noticed they seemed to have taken the sting off the lyrics like “pimping ain’t easy” and others that might’ve killed the vibe by bringing up other sync audio to fill the space. youtu.be/v356_23728Q?...

I know it’s cool to like subtle things but the track I Could Use a Boost from Wild Robot is great and on repeat in my brain and very very BIG.
