hold up hold up HOLD UP -- did the Daniels use a storyclock to develop Everything Everywhere All at Once???

designers should code just enough to really fuck shit up but not enough to explain how they did so.

my favorite camera form factor of all time!! shame it was killed before the vertical video days. it would have owned them.

about time for a ~cubicle~ update

(and a reminder that 3d printers are the goated workshop tool of workshop tools)

also really fascinated by the uses of storyboard-like planning in the pre-boarding era.

at two opposite ends, Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera (a "found footage doc") planned edits/fx w/sketches + Eisenstein's Battleship Potempkin planned EVERYTHING like structured sheet music

so many of the current crop of image gen services or workflows are too eager to create detailed images, when visual drafting in the pre-production process has very little to do with what the final shot actually looks like. it's about exploring the flow. it's whiteboarding.

working on some research about better uses for ai in the storyboarding/pre-viz process and something really hits me about Rian Johnson's Knives Out storyboards. the sketchiness of early storyboards isnt goofy or lazy, it's about conveying ONLY the narrative details that matter

new @sequence.film video dropping tomorrow morning on yt 👀

forget agents, bring back WIZARDS ヾ(☆▽☆)

Each script document is a single editor instance, with custom Node components to handle acts, scenes, and beats - and then the main content editable within each beat A/V cell

Kinoscripter is a vvv opinionated AV (audio-visual) dual-column video script editor with a notion of hierarchical story structures composed of acts, scenes, and beats. Built in svelte 5 + TipTap for rich text editing. (cursor composer + claude for the ~vibes~)

since ppl are sharing their ~~ vibecoding ~~ experiments, i'll also share in honor of the Oscars: been jamming on and off for a while to finally build my dream script writing tool, Kinoscripter

i call it the *anus bar*

god damn shook by the last 90-seconds of cutting on Severance s2e3

do you have any idea the headspace you need to be in to text LostInTranslation.(2003).BrRip.x264.YIFY to your long distance situationship via whatsapp?

(no really, i need a name for this)

i love southern california so much more than i thought omfg this wasn’t part of the plan

actually the ideal wfh/irl situation is to live a 5-min walk from the office and endlessly cycle between 2-hr stints of hanging out IRL vs. sitting alone at home

Did a thing. Might be patentable? We'll see in a couple years.

now go forth and cooketh, lest ye be cooked

sure designers being neutral sponges that can be dropped into new environments and quickly sus out the core problems through endless user interviews sounds good in theory but have you ever tried being a niche domain expert fueled rage and hope?

when a designer tells you they "think holistically about the problem space" you just know that mf is gonna take 3 months researching the answer to a simple question and then come back telling you to build 20 things instead of 1

(i'm designer)

is it still providing shareholder value if you do it under water

i'm just the middle manager between my ideas guy chatbot and my code monkey copilot

slowly, steadily, subtly finding myself building a life i'm thankful for instead of beating myself up over the one i imagined.

work on things so psychotic that no ai could predict the next line of code

"i built 10 saas apps using ai without writing a single line of code myself"
so you have no imagination or sense of novelty you mean

what a time to be a world wide web user

forgot i already set up a bsky with a sick domain a while ago. guess this is where yall are at now?

cooked... served... ate... slayed...

long ago the four nations lived in harmony. but everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

the other day i bit into a chicken sandwich only to find a generative adversarial network hidden inside. disgusting and inhumane. so thankful for the heroes fighting this villainous trend 🙏
