Joining the exodus to Bluesky.

Tired of broligarch in chief Musk turning this platform into a hate filled cesspit of misinformation, rage bait and abuse. Hopefully it will be more pleasant over there!

If you're also there let me know.

@MrSalami_ By the time they eventually came on they had lost the crowd and did nothing to get people back on side. So disappointing. And what the hell was going on with the fairy lights around the decks?!

Another company on an ever growing list that once supported creatives, but now seeks to exploit them

@GoodwinMJ So what you're saying is:

Renationalise the railways as current model doesn't work.

Acknowledged growing wealth inequality has consequences with regards to rent, poverty & crime.

You're overtly racist about Londoners.

Got it

[Dan Wise @DanWiseCreative]

@RupertLowe10 The community I live in is diverse, cohesive and amazing. Growing wealth inequality is making people poorer and eroding social cohesion, not people from other countries. Your post is as ignorant as it is racist. You're projecting your own bias on issues above your intellect.

@RingGo_parking trying to park at one of your sites and it’s saying my car is an hgv??? Haven’t changed any settings. Driven half an hour with kids to come here what am I supposed to do?

The fires in LA are impossible to comprehend and scale of destruction is apocalyptic. Like many others, my good friends lost their house and the insurance company has screwed them. They are some of the nicest people ever, please consider donating so they can rebuild their lives.

@TheAA_UK There was nobody to speak to to resolve your system not recognizing my valid membership. Had to make alternative arrangements. Will not be renewing it.

[Dan Wise @DanWiseCreative]

@TheAA_UK Car broken down. I have a valid policy that I’ve held for over 20 years. Your system is all automated and says you can’t find my details so no help available. Nobody working at call center to speak to. What the hell am I supposed to do???

As December draws to a close I've been reflecting on my year and many of the great shows I've been involved with.

Things kicked off in January with the highly prestigious Joy Awards where I created performance visuals for Assala, Bebe Rexha and Gloria Gaynor, bringing a mix of Escheresque set extensions, industrial lighting effects and classic glam to the performances.

I then went on to create the broadcast package for the Grammys, bringing an understated sophistication to the well loved gramophone, complementing the energy and visceral appeal of digital artist David McLeod who’s flowing golden sculptures set the visual language for the show.

I then transitioned to rock mode, helping to add another dimension to Journey’s worldwide stadium tour using a variety of techniques. Evolving the imagery of their album covers using AI we created a rich new world to explore, featured throughout the performance is gave a sense of familiarity yet freshness to their set.

Carrying on the rock theme it was great fun to help add some new content to AC/DCs Power Up tour. Keeping it playful but always metal, I worked across multiple tracks. From neon lit ladies of the night, exploding logos, a bronze Angus and lightning filled mountains, the visuals were as playful and high energy as the band's infamous performance.

A key highlight of the year was working on Adele’s world record breaking residency in Munich. I took a deep dive into refractions and all their abstract beauty for ‘Water Under The Bridge’ which also ended up in the show programme and as a limited edition merch poster. I also created the intro for ‘Set Fire To The Rain’.

Rounding things off was Halsey’s Amazon Music Live session, where I created an intimate scene that mixed the sensibilities of a high school performance with the showmanship of a vintage circus with flowing drapes and arabesque star lighting.

As ever it’s always about the people so massive shout outs to the amazing people at Hello Charlie, Pixels and Noise, Treatment & the super talented Terry Scruby.

I’m already deep into the next projects and very much looking forward to 2025.

Ok, so maybe Bluesky isn't a good alternative after all *sighs

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky, for those fleeing there. Folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

[Dan Wise @DanWiseCreative]

@bt_uk Want to cancel my broadband contract with you when it ends next month. The only way to do that is on the phone. Waits of an hour to do so. Is there another way to cancel as i'm not waiting an hour to speak to someone.
