I reviewed two amazing pitches, 'Needing a Feeding' by @bellacres15 and 'Women Who Lead AU' by @josiedoyle229. Check out their great DA projects! https://t.co/t7QADAqJOW #BCM302

@bellacres15 Thanks for the feedback! 😊

"It’s not a future where everything is new and has taken over,” Mr. Schreier said during an interview in Manhattan. Instead, the film is set in rural New York, where these advances are "just beginning to creep in.” https://t.co/OxaAKXPCnj… #bcm325

"As terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also... the only place that... you can get a decent meal. Because, reality... is real"

Spielberg and company created the scene by taking a “high-quality telecine transfer” of a print of The Shining, and scanning it into a computer. “It was nostalgic for me because I first met Stanley Kubrick on the set that I depict in Ready Player One.” #bcm325

The film delves into the potential high impact fidelity VR could have on humanity, & whether the films dystopian vision of escapism in an imperfect world to live out virtual fantasies is endpoint for this technology? #bcm325

“They created an avatar for me that you never get to see, but my avatar had a virtual camera,” said Spielberg in the video. “I could either do frame grabs or I could do actual shots by walking through the virtual set.” A film about VR, using VR, to help convey VR #bcm325

"The most fun part of #ReadyPlayerOne is its pop-cultural goodies. Tribute is paid to Mr. Spielberg’s departed colleagues John Hughes and Stanley Kubrick. The visual and musical allusions are eclectic enough that nobody is likely to feel left out." - The New York Times #bcm325

Fun Fact: On the front of the IOI cars in the race sequences, you might spot QR codes right there on the bonnet. Even cooler is the fact that these codes are scannable and actually lead somewhere! They take you to the Warner Bros. website. #bcm325

Today I'll be live tweeting, Ready Player One (2018) a Stephen Spielberg directed film based on a novel of the same name #bcm325

"In #AlitaBattleAngel we're merging with our technology. We express ourselves through technology, it's a manifestation of our consciousness. We're merging with it, we're going to continue to change and evolve socially as our machines develop." - James Cameron #bcm325

“AI shouldn’t stop at reaching the human level it must go beyond the capabilities of humans for it to reach its peak potential.” https://t.co/KjgvQBAdxo #bcm325

#AlitaBattleAngel is more than just a jaw-dropping piece of dystopian futurism. It digs into the same things that we deal with every day now: how does our past define our future? How does technology empower us—and more importantly, how does it control us? #bcm325

I think it’s very interesting that this underworld suggests that society just keeps rebuilding on top of their failed worlds. Leaving the world below to disposed the world above a rubbish. #BCM325

[Amelia Raffo @AmeliaRaffo]

I'd say character development is extremely high paced, considering both all the experiences in quick succession and some of her memories returning.
I feel that her first fight and that underworld fight have a lot of intentional parallels showing how much has changed. #bcm325

[Amelia Raffo @AmeliaRaffo]

It is interesting to see how in #AlitaBattleAngel, physical strength is represented in a variety of ways - merely being physically large is not an indicator of strength. Alita is strong because of what she knows, her fighting technique and her history as a URM Berserker #bcm325

[Amelia Raffo @AmeliaRaffo]

Like in previous weeks, we are again questioned "what it really means to be human" within the sci-fi experience of the fight between good and evil. #AlitaBattleAngel is aid to bring "artificial intelligence to a whole new level of emotional connection & feeling." #bcm325

"The original concept of the cyborg meant to complement and enhance humanity. The cyborg is the next evolutionary step for humanity, not a race of its own. It is more human, not more machine, and meant to liberate humanity rather than end it" https://t.co/UAkLOddwOb #bcm325

Today I'll be live-tweeting #AlitaBattleAngel, a 2019 American cyberpunk action film based on Japanese manga artist Yukito Kishiro's 1990s series Gunnm. It was directed Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, who co-wrote the script with Laeta Kalogridis. #bcm325

Oracle: “what's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?” This depicts we can believe in determinism or choice however, we can’t tell which one is truely in effect! #BCM325
