So, if you have the #Apple Pro Video Codecs are installed on your Mac, the integrated video player in #NeoFinder can play Sony MXF video files! Pretty cool!
An excerpt from an email I just sent: “By the way, Aristotle’s POETICS is absolutely NOT an easy read, so when you hear Crag Mazin [a pretty successful Hollywood writer] say that, just know he’s lying to you! … unless you are already an expert on Ancient Greek society, dithyrambic poetry, and music of the lyre. Then it’s a breeze.” #Writing#ScreenWriting#Filmmaking
@WTL I was actually talking about just that podcast, and exactly that episode. Craig recommends reading Poetics, and that’s when he says, “It’s an easy read. You’ll finish it in about half an hour,” then calls it, “a good bathroom book.” 😂 Not one bit of that is true!!!
A friend who works for one of the big studios just sent me a screen capture of his bank balance after getting his paycheck direct deposit. The accidentally paid him 19 million dollars. This just happened. I am still laughing.
May's meeting is Sunday! @theconsultant will be talking about Zotero, @WTL will discuss software tools used during his recent adventure in feature #FilmMaking, then we'll indulge in some Apple event speculation, along with the usual questions and answers.
Thursday:
101 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners (#AppleFitness)
20 minutes of strength training
30 minutes of HIIT
6.4 km of #walking (10°C, 11km/hr wind)
…a few hours later, 6 km of #cycling for a #Filmmaking meeting to go over some stuff from the shoot.
Pretty pleased this morning, after all the workouts, got the walking speed under 9 minutes per KM, so that made me happy at least. Knee still seems to be okay. 🤔
Can also confirm that I still do not like burpees (in HIIT). 🤣
If you need to quickly visualise some scenes for a video to give your client / crew an idea of what you’re trying to achieve with your shoot, this GPT should help.
