Shooting video is still incredibly hard. Just had to give my self a 12 hour crash course masterclass for a shoot in the morning using rented equipment I’ve never used before. All the factors of knowing what works with what, codecs, batteries and cables, gimbals, settings can get overwhelming fast

Anyone know my podcasts are trending/being pushed to video?The WHOLE point was to be a listening format. I only have the time to listen when I’m on the go. I’m not going to sit on YouTube all day watching three heads talk about life

I’ve never read a Brandon Sanderson book before but I gotta say the recent Tim Ferris interview with him was a treat to listen to. That guy loves sharing knowledge about his process and trails, failures, industry tidbits. If you are even slightly interesting in writing - you’ll enjoy it.

Been working on switching my portfolio over from square space to Framer. While it’s been rewarding in a lot of ways with added UI functionality - Framer still has a lot of missing features especially for CMS type portfolios. Stuff you don’t realize is missing until after you invested in a yearly sub

Anyone else play Jet Force Gemini on Nintendo 64? Something just sparked the memories of playing that game which I completely forgot about. At the time I had zero influence by the internet or reviews so I have no idea if it was a banger or if I just didn’t know any better #n64 #gaming #nostalgia

Not sure what gods are blessing me but C4D 2025 and RS has been remarkably stable for me. I can’t recall a single crash lately.

I’m almost through Sapiens - and I’ve yet to read anything about Stargate. Wtf.

Absolutely astonishing Pantheon isn’t talked about more. Between this and Scavengers Reign being cancelled is utter nonsense. Golden era of adult animation and no one is watching.

So far I’ve only taken advantage of Oscar Oettersons Motion Masters Black Friday deal. Still debating if I want to get on Otoys again this year.
Still debating on:
- Otoy + GSG (which I got last year and barely used)
- Adam Swaabs Houdini volumes
- insydium XP update

I guess this marks my first blue sky post! Well a little intro. I’m a designer with a focus on 3D but dabble in all areas. Currently an art director at We Are Royale in LA. Here is a cut I put together of a recent series of spots for Genesis and Innocean I led.
