My peers across video and film making in the industry are debating numerous A.I Chat Bots like SORA A.I. See the example video here. https://lnkd.in/eBcjWuip Sora A.I generated music videos, are being seriously considered at record labels and could make some of the work of Music Video Directors redundant. Similar to ChatGPT, you enter a text prompt but instead of generating answers to questions, Sora will generate videos up to one minute long. 1. There are some brilliant examples of possibilities on Sam Altman's twitter account - @sama Example prompt: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi hosted by a grandmother social media influencer set in a rustic Tuscan country kitchen with cinematic lighting”....see the video here: https://lnkd.in/ekzpeyrr 2. FKA Twigs has already created an A.I Avatar of herself to so press conferences and interviews as her REAL SELF wants to focus on her music. I think in future, Film / Music Video Creators will use A.I to prompt, speed up & enhance their work, but like numerous other 'tech advances' where we are scared into fearing for our jobs, I don't think audiences will fully accept non-human creative art. We'll need to learn to work WITH it.

Songwriter, Musician, Producer, Studio Engineer, Mastering Engineer, A&R. All these terms were once clearly defined roles in the recording industry. Over time, as cheap recording equipment and self-publishing democratized the industry, the separation between all of those skills gradually blurred into one general job-requirement for anyone who wanted to take a stab at making a record (along with self-promotion, marketing, video production etc). However, it helps, even today, to regularly remind ourselves where exactly our strengths are in this mashup of required skills, and to keep them in mind as skills that are separate: The songwriter knows how to write a good song, the musician is a master at playing the right notes, the producer excels at bringing a distinct sound to all the recorded music in a track, the studio engineer facilitates the optimal recording environment to get to a finished product, the mastering engineer lends a pair of fresh ears to the record and prepares it to sonically compete with the millions of other records, and the A&R executives meanwhile steer the entire process in a direction that is both authentic to their artists, and marketable to their business teams. Although I have mastered all of the above skills over the past 25 years, and I often personally applied many of them in a single project, it still helps to acknowledge the weakest link in this chain of job-descriptions, if only to save time during the recording process, and to outsource responsibilities, or collaborate, when possible. I have spent far too much time in my career on certain records because I ignored my weaknesses. Mainly in the area of engineering it helps me to collaborate with someone who is a true expert at plugins, mic setups, and EQing. At the same time, I get great joy out of working with skilled musicians and singers who need help getting to a certain 'sound' once their notes are recorded. It is great to be a jack of all trades, as long as you're honest about the second part of that expression. I'm a master at producing songs. I'm a decent musician/songwriter, I'm great at A&R (but never when it comes to my own music) and being somewhat of a technophobe, engineering has never been my strong suit. Pretending to be a master of everything will eventually come at unnecessary costs. Unless you're Prince, then you're fine. Miss you Prince.

It has been less than a year and I am so very grateful for the stellar cast and production team behind Ajaka: Lost In Rome. It is the more recent example of proving to myself that I can keep a vision steady & moving, in the face of vagaries of familiar inconsistencies and unfamiliar solutions. That with Global Best Practices at play, the successful coordination of human resources (in-person & remote) can lead to something one can not just be proud of, but can point at and say, "Here is our new standard!" There is a note of caution which I exercise personally. Creativity is the path, and styles are just landmarks, not destinations. For creativity to come alive, one cannot lock yourself into a particular 'style'. It is rigor mortis waiting for an opportunity to claim your best before it happens. I am not just speaking of 2D or 3D animation, or 'Experiential media'... Everyone involved has their favourite stories & it has less to do with what the story is about, but mostly to do with how they were told. This is where the creative discipline of a voice director proves present or absent to creativity's roll call. Low-hanging fruit is the feast to the unimaginative. I don't play Russian roulette as voice director, & insist that they must bend into personally unrelatable shapes and work in what is comfortable for me, for 'my familiar style of storytelling.' I asked them about their favourite stories, about how their imagination works with their talents. They did not disappoint me. This is why I am grateful to them. They trusted me as I trusted the animation team. Looking back with the understanding of my neurodiversity, I can now confidently say it is a reflection of how I responded with my best to those who did the same for me. That is a long list that could have been longer, if not for human fallibility (between my memory and those who did make the effort to listen). Every win in a shared win for this team. I wish us all success in the endeavours we have gone on to since then.

With the invaluable support of Glamazon Italy, I embarked on an intense and profound photographic journey, resulting in an extraordinary project that embodies the beauty and complexity of human diversity These are not mere portraits; they are open windows to inner worlds rich in experiences and emotions. Each face tells a tale of challenges and triumphs, joys and scars, strength and vulnerability. Every portrait is a testament to dignity and pride, an expression of solidarity and support for those who struggle to be accepted for who they are. They are promises of inclusion and love, framed by the realization that true beauty lies in diversity. May these images touch your hearts, inspire minds, and spur action, thereby contributing to building a fairer and more inclusive world for all. Welcome to "Diverse Reflections: the 100+ Mirrors of Inclusivity."

#UnHollywood: The Golden Age of Indie Film The Indie Film Revolution has begun! We are all captivated by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. As aspiring filmmakers and theater artists, we've grown up dreaming of reaching the major studio levels, Broadway, and fantasizing about leaving our mark on the stage and screen. However, as much as we adore and admire Hollywood, it's crucial to recognize that the movie industry has increasingly prioritized commercial success over story and creativity, forcing many of us to reevaluate our paths. This reality has led to the rise of a new era – the Golden Age of Indie Film! An electrifying period that celebrates authentic storytelling, diverse perspectives, and creative freedom. The Indie Film Revolution champions the artists who dare to challenge the major studio system and redefine the future of filmmaking. While Hollywood may not always open its doors to the incredible talent that exists beyond its gates, the Golden Age of Indie Film reminds us that there's another way to make our dreams come true. By joining forces and embracing the power of independent artistry, we can create opportunities and forge a path that values creativity and originality above all else. Together, we can build a world where independent filmmakers and theater artists thrive and push the boundaries of storytelling in ways never seen before. We believe in the power of authentic storytelling and its ability to connect us on a deeper level. IFT Network's infrastructure is designed to support the entire journey of independent film and theater production: • The IFT Network Writing Room: A dedicated virtual space for script development and collaboration. • Producer Community: A network of talented producers ready to bring projects to life. • Streaming Platform: A global stage that offers independent filmmakers and theater artists an opportunity to showcase their work to audiences worldwide. • Marketing and Promotion: A comprehensive support system, including the IFT Network Marketing Agency, that assists independent artists in amplifying their projects' visibility and connecting with their target audiences. • Community Share Program: A system that shares revenue with each film and show on the platform, ensuring mutual success within the IFT Network community. Our long-term vision includes expanding our infrastructure even further: • Indie FIlm Theater Fund: A future venture fund tailored specifically for indie film and theater projects within our ecosystem. • Physical Studio: A dedicated space for production and collaboration, fostering innovation and growth. • Theater Partnerships: Partnering with or owning theater venues to provide opportunities for live performances. Join us as we redefine the future of storytelling and prove that the power of authentic, independent artistry cannot be ignored.

Having long been on the FCP side of the "which software" debate, the availability and uptake of AI tools within the different video editing softwares has given me reason to question this as of late. I must admit that I've started to view the others with envious eyes.... This article from fxguide breaks down what I mean by this: https://lnkd.in/ev65F_G8 p.s. the generative AI banner could have done with a second look. #videoediting #software #AI

Film Studio Growth in the United States - Establishing State Economic Growth - Film Production Growing in New Jersey The film industry in New Jersey employed more than 8,500 people throughout 2023 – and that number is on the rise. Netflix is investing $1 billion to build its East Coast flagship production studio at Fort Monmouth, creating 1,500 industry jobs. Lionsgate is building a major studio in Newark, and 1888 Studios, the largest ground-up movie studio complex in North America, will soon call Bayonne home. It’s expected that by 2026, the motion picture industry in the state will amount to $1 billion per year and, by 2035, the industry will cross the multi-billion-dollar threshold. In recent years, the state has played host to a number of successful film and TV productions. Read more here - https://lnkd.in/gyMs-R2r

So Izotopejust came out with Rx 11 Advanced and there are a ton of grewt features. But I’ve said this once before and I’ll keep telling the company to have a send video to Rx connect so you can edit while watching. We need to see what we are hearing. This could be very useful in real time with the video to use dialogue contour to try to match mannerisms. So iZotope, Inc. please make this happen. It will make our workflow so much more efficient and why can’t imprt DAW plugins? If you’re using pro tools why does the engineer have to then switch their shortcut habbits from one application to the other. If Rx Connect is a bridge then why why when it comes to shortcuts we have to jump off the bridge? Wouldn’t it be easier if we can just use pro tools shortcuts to zoom, save, make a cut etc? All you need is a import daw shortcuts button and that will allow us to choose which shortcuts we want to use.

As a Latina creative leader, I often struggle to find fellow Latina sponsors or see Latinas advance in their careers. There are times when I question my abilities, feel like an "only" in the room, or get pigeonholed as a DEI advocate. I'm constantly trying to improve, advocating for myself, navigating the course, and wondering what I'm missing outside of everything I am asked to develop and grow. However, Lean In's 2024 State of Latinas in Corporate America report confirms what many have long suspected: our challenges are real and systemic with stats to back it up. This is a critical read for all Latinas and everyone who manages, hires, or works with Latinas. Some significant stats: - 87% of Latinas want to be promoted, and 71% aim for senior leadership Yet, Latinas are less likely to have senior colleagues advocating for them - crucial for getting ahead - Latinas makeup over 9% of the population in corporate workplaces and just under 5% of entry-level workers, making them the most underrepresented group of women at the beginning of their careers. - The gap widens to the C-suite, where only ~1% of positions are held by Latinas, and the gap from entry to C-suite is ~78% - Latinas earn ~36% less than our white male counterparts The report states that typical stereotypes are that Latinas are less competent than our white peers or typecast as "loud" or "feisty" when we speak up and are empowered to criticize our demeanor or mistake us for more junior roles. Which makes it harder for Latinas to get promoted, move up, or get hired. When we're the "only" Latina in the space, 26% of us almost always feel burned out and 40% feel we don't have equal opportunities to advance TLDR: Include more Latinas in the workplace and grow them, develop them, and give them opportunities to succeed. Promote us, trust us. Don't just tell us how to improve—put us in positions to succeed. Sponsor us and build opportunities with us. To my fellow Latinas: Check out these stats and let me know if they resonate with you. Ground yourself in the knowledge that the data backs up your experiences and feelings. We need better mentorship, sponsorship, and representation in C-suites. Let's push workplaces to check their biases regularly, especially during performance reviews, hiring, and overall opportunities. The stats are on our side - it's time for real change. https://lnkd.in/eKv_bEJ7 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/evRWjKjM

Film School Too Expensive? Educate Yourself for Free https://ift.tt/uDKyHfp I logged onto Twitter this morning to see that Boston University, where I got my MFA in Screenwriting, is about to start charging $90,000 a year for tuition. Upon reading that, I spit coffee all over and went for a long walk. I came back with a fire in my belly, ready to write this article. Boston University, Tufts, Wellesley, and Yale will now top $90,000 a year for tuition, housing, and other expenses, according to the schools' admissions websites. Other private colleges around New England are also likely to cross that threshold. https://t.co/mPQPyLO3TF — (@) The fact is, unless they set you up with a job at a studio and an Arris Alexa, there is no way it's worth $90,000 a year—that's over a quarter of a million dollars for an education that may take you nowhere. At this point, I think the best course of action for anyone trying to break into film and TV is to get a practical degree in something, make real money doing a real job on the side, and learn to be a filmmaker for free through online resources. Let's dive in. The Cost of Education is Way Too High I had a pretty good year last year when it comes to film and TV. I worked on an adapted feature and wrote for a TV show. And that was with six months of my year being obscured by a strike. But 10% of that money I made, before taxes, has to go to my loans. And those loans? They've been gaining interest since I graduated in 2012. Back when I went to BU, it was around 50K a year, and I had a small scholarship. Still, over the course of a couple years, I had to take out around 100K to help cover my tuition and rent. Now, with the compound interest, that's hovering around 200k that I owe, and rising. Grad school is only two years long. Thank God I went to Penn State for undergrad, and was able to pay that off while in school. Hearing what kids are paying today to get a job in an industry experience extreme contraction, where luck goes way further than talent, is frightening. I already think I am massively screwed, unless I sell a spec for around two million dollars. I cannot imagine how hard it will be for people coming after me paying that much. And if you're coming out of school and moving to Los Angeles, you should be aware of the costs here. Rent is very high right now and always has been. And entry-level job may get you paid around $50k a year. After taxes, you will probably be devoting around half of your salary to rent alone. When I started, I only make $36k a year and basically lived going into debt until I sold a screenplay, which helped me break even for two years, and then I had to get side jobs, and eventually get a job here where I make basically modern entry-level money, and hope I sell things on the side to survive. This is not a sustainable Hollywood, especially for people without rich parents who pay their bills. So how can you survive? Making it In Hollywood Without...

I want to share an enlightening episode of the Offset Podcast, hosted by Robbie Carman, a prominent colorist here in DC. In this episode, veteran colorists discuss and clear up many common misconceptions about color that have become prominant on the web. For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of color grading, this is a must-watch. Check it out. https://lnkd.in/eYW6QThi
