Thrilled that we’ve started this one. Spotting done.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@LBC @IainDale Just looked the hapless interviewee up on LinkedIn. She was a trainee baker until December 2024. I think her answers demonstrated lack of experience and media training as much as anything else!

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

Love this trailer. This is so Ridley. Plenty more of my source in this new one. Enjoy.

[Apple TV @AppleTV]

You asked, he listened.

Napoleon: The Director's Cut is now streaming with 48 minutes of glorious new footage.

@michael__price Knock-on effect of the writers and actors strikes? We saw it back in 2009. Things bounced back. Fingers crossed they will again.

GB News has put their EU rejoin poll behind paid membership so let’s settle it here😤

Pls RT and show Remoaners there are no Brexit regrets🇬🇧

Should the UK rejoin the EU?

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

To not even turn up at an award you’re nominated for. It’s not like it’s a shit award or anything.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@Constructmusic Do you do them on your original session? I almost always make wide stems and do it from that. Occasionally I’ll fix something from the original tracks. Maybe that’s just me with my music editor hat on?

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

The bloke who was fired from the apprentice tonight actually said:

Once it’s explained, it becomes self-explanatory.

Just wow.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@NoonWithATune Just a beautifully edited score. 😜. I have the stems if you want to go through them.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@DANIELPEMBERTON Congratulations!! You mean you can’t turn it on from your phone?!?

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@BAFTA 2024 Film awards nominations for @NapoleonMovie and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Outstanding British film and Animation respectively. Pretty chuffed with that. It’s been a busy 18 months!

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

Out tomorrow. Please do.

[Napoleon @NapoleonMovie]

Joaquin Phoenix takes the crown. Watch the new trailer for #Napoleon, from acclaimed director Ridley Scott. See it in Premium Large Formats, Screen X, 70mm and IMAX this Thanksgiving.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

#Napoleon Leicester Square last night. Great to watch it again after some time away. I’d forgotten how there’s a healthy dose of comedy with an audience in a good way! Lots of military drums and arrangements of trad stuff from yours truly. Please do go see it.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

Another fabulous time had with my friends at @aardman

Friends, colleagues, anyone: please sign this petition. So many people here in the UK are collateral damage. Create income replacement scheme for crew affected by writers and actors strikes - Petitions https://t.co/Rx6oSpfJ1M

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

Soho is a nervous looking place this afternoon. If it’s anything like the last writer’s strike in 07-08, it will hit us worst after about 6 months. And back then the actors didn’t strike. I’m terrified about the timing of this. And if I am, what about those just starting?

Actor strikes: UK film industry ‘like Covid again’ as productions halted by US SAG strike https://t.co/SbQV7Q93Qp

[fredbo @freddiebonfa]

Many overlook that Hollywood's pulse now beats in London & SAG-AFTRA strike reverberates across the pond, deeply impacting the UK film industry. Thousands of local crew members are now jobless and struggling. The consequences of this standoff echo within us all #SAGAFTRAstrike

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

If you see WGA members excited about a SAG strike, it's not because we want to be striking.

It's because it makes it more likely that everyone in the industry returns to work much sooner.

This has always been about AMPTP making a deal that allows our occupations to be a career.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

@bendeville @SpitfireAudio Right. That’s what I thought. So there’s a gap for a company to manage the AI images of the actors if that’s the way we’re going. License per film to create, say, a medieval crowd using a known subset of image samples. Artists reimbursed. Probably not as simple as that but hey.

[Tony Lewis @MusicEditorcouk]

AI capturing an actor’s image and then using it in perpetuity. Totally nuts. BUT, isn’t it the same as sampling in a musical context? What can we learn from @SpitfireAudio and the likes about making sure artists are correctly and appropriately reimbursed?
