Jon Adler’s Post

Another round of excitement and rebirths to emerge from #Hollywood as #Paramount, the original producer of #thegodfather seeks to re-create itself as a creative-tech hybrid. I am curious to see what the meat on those bones, given the tendency for large companies to use technology at its edges rather than making it a core operational focus. The fact they have now referenced #directoconsumer, #AI, and even #layoffs suggests that they are looking at the right things and understand the difficult challenges for legacy companies to compete in the new era. The fact that David Ellison's father is CEO of Oracle and is part of the deal makes these claims a little more credible. Expect to see more of these #spins as those left reeling from the #streamingwars find their next footing. #innovation

maya is mentioned but I expect to see Houdini and realtime engines take a lead on this eventually. If you’ve used Houdini in post production, game development or even high end VFX you’ll know what I’m talking about. Houdini’s power to move and iterate that has made it such a valuable tool in video games development will make it perfect for this bright new field.

Variety - Former Amazon Studios Executive Lambasts Studios and Streamers: "Nobody wants to strike. Two film unions striking proves the system is unfair, built to be unfair, and the industry leaders only look out for themselves." - By Nick Vivarelli, John Hopewell "Media CEOs earn nine-figure salaries, while the industry’s creative talent workers need to take Uber gigs. "AMPAS seems to be doing nothing to solve the runaway awards campaign funding. "AI is a real threat to all film people’s jobs — and everyone’s jobs. "Netflix made $900 million on “Squid Game” but the creator received zero dollars in residuals. "Creators do not have access or ownership of the data their work generates. "The streaming ecosystem may eventually shrink to 4 major platforms. Then we’d have sacrificed cable only to replace it with a broadcast-style monopoly. 'Further massive media consolidation is likely. Who’s buying who this week? It always ends in massive layoffs." https://lnkd.in/eu7NN-3J #writersstrike #actorsstrike #studios #streamers #media #entertainment #ai

Scalping has been around long before I went to my first concert in the 70s when we had to stand in line at the record store or venue the night before to get tickets. Equally as big an issue if not more for the fans are the opaque fees and the inability of to scale the ticket systems and keep the bots at bay for large on sales. Dynamic pricing is another. The main beneficiary of anti scalping mechanisims are the acts, promoters and ticket vendors. It’s primarily to capture the revenue that the scalpers get (which the acts deserve) with potentially a secondary benefit to fans. I find it ironic that Ticketmaster has a resale component allowing above face value tickets to be sold while trying to put the heat on scalpers. As long as Ticketmaster is unable to reliably provide the tickets to the end user scalping will exist. Years of complacency due to an insurmountable hold on the ticket business is at least as responsible for the situation if not more. Customer dissatisfaction and potential regulatory action are the motivators here.

Curious how we used the 🐙 Octopus Paradigm in redesigning the Puzzling Places interaction for reduced complexity on the Apple Vision Pro and why? Check out my conversation with Gabriele Romagnoli 🥽 on the the XR AI Spotlight Podcast!

One thing that I loved about this demo I did with Mr. David Rosenthal was how he had me create the characters and fine-tune not only the script itself, but also the ideas behind each one. Backstory, situation, addressee...these are all highly relevant! #videogames #voiceactorlife #voiceacting #demo
