I am not a fan of IMAX. I don't think it does anything. It's just a bigger screen. In a damn box ratio. Blown up television. Give me Cinemascope any day of the week. Just make a big IMAX screen and add the sides. It's only a box because of the limitation of that antiquated film format running through a camera gate that can barely take the stress. Most of that stuff isnt even shot in IMAX but "FOR IMAX." Which is just digital cameras like Venice 2 or Alexa 65.

This fluctuating presentation format is also ridiculous. Do we believe that compositions matter? So you're telling me a filmnaker supposedly cares about every little detail about presentation but then doesn't care that vast majority of the movie will be played in theaters in some compromised cropping? I'd rather lock the image in a very specific format and make sure everyone sees it according to my intended compositions with edits calibrated to that eye tracking.

The irony is there's nothing more dismissive of cinema than the idea that fluctuating compositions due to format presentation don't matter, whether it's IMAX or iPhone.

Apple's AI pitch: You can either figure out a way to collect and pipe all of your personal context info into an LLM with dubious privacy controls to get answers that are anywhere near accurate for you OR you can just go to the place where your context already (safely) lives - on your devices - to get those answers. #wwdc

The problem with Spielberg's style, which I love, is that music telegraphs a lot of the emotion. Modern audiences find this old fashioned. They like no underscore and definitely no leitmotifs, yet they want a faster pace. So in camera blocking gets dropped for more edit based filmmaking - Nolan/Villeneuve. I like the latter too, but as a child of the 80s I die for Spielberg's classical blocking.

“Quixote has made the difficult decision to begin the process of winding down most of our sound stage business in Los Angeles, including our main commercial studio in West Hollywood,” read a note emailed to clients on Tuesday. https://t.co/KvfN2rejlk

ANTHROPIC ENGINEER DROPPED A 14-MINUTE GUIDE.

This is the fastest way to understand how real agents are built.

Bookmark this for the weekend.

14 minutes.
Real architecture.
No fluff.
What actually works.

Agents → Structure → Tools → Execution → Systems → Money

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

It's really hard for me to book a commercial in Los Angeles. Everyone wants to shoot overseas to escape SAG. If you book 20 extras and one of them think you showed too much of their face, it becomes a grievance for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Companies are sick of it.

[Brad Lynch @SadlyItsBradley]

So the new model that is designed for live streaming retails at $26,495

The original model is now $24,995

When the OG camera first launched it: MSRP’d at $29,995!

Obviously an expensive camera meant for professionals, but in today’s pricing woes, that’s a huge price decrease!

あれ? いつのまにVision ProにUSB-C経由でHDMIを、一般Developer(No Enterprise)でも入力・表示できるようになったの?
これでついに、PCやGame Consoleを有線接続して、Vision Proの巨大Screenに表示できる。積みゲーがはかどる…

ということで、Vision ProのDeveloper Strap(初代)に、USB-C(UVC) - HDMI変換(ShadowCast初代)を取り付けてPS5を接続。Playしてみた。Latencyは、ゆるくDeath StrandingをPlayしてもこまらない程度。
AppはこちらのSample Codeを使用。

Appleさん、一般Userへの対応ありがとう。これでまた1つ、夢がかなった…

This is also an IMAX 70mm screen size—but it’s in my bed, in my hotel room, on a plane…anywhere I want.

And it’s not projection—it’s micro-OLED, with pure blacks and HDR on Apple Vision Pro. No random people nearby to ruin the experience.

It’s pretty damn awesome, tbh.

Miami Vice (2006) gets written off way too easily. Under the messy release backlash is a gritty, tactile Michael Mann thriller with bold digital photography and an icy, committed vibe.

I think I realized why I actually stopped reading The Verge: it feels like they just don’t like tech

Life is stressful enough, just let me enjoy it

[Justin Ryan ᯅ @justinryanio]

The Verge has lost its way.

Several months ago, they interviewed me for 45 minutes about Apple Vision Pro. I spent 43 minutes talking about what I love, and 2 minutes on what I’d change.

They twisted parts of those 2 minutes and cut everything positive I said.

To make it worse, the author opened the interview by saying they were biased against headsets.

I miss the old Verge. The one that was fun. The one that spotlighted tech instead of throwing shade.

#MatthewMcConaughey predicts to #TimothéeChalamet that AI actors will crash the #Oscars: “It’s damn sure going to infiltrate our category.”

“Will we, in five years, have Best AI Film? Best AI Actor? Maybe. I think it could become another category. I’m not sure. It’s going to be in front of us in ways we don’t even see.”
