Codex

A developer on a journey to build a FOSS, local-first, block-based knowledge workspace using standoff markup & hypergraphs. INTJ. 🦋

[Codex @codexeditor]

I've decided to return to #buildinginpublic and will be working on a new version of Codex.

It will be

> free
> open source
> local first @electronjs
> graph-centric @SurrealDB
> include my notes

And if all goes well 🤞

@DiscussingFilm This will always be my image of what could have been ...

I based it on the Tim Severin book The Ulysses Voyage.

-We may have lost the new Stargate series, but I have gained incredible respect for the creative development team behind the original series:
-@BaronDestructo and the writing team were extremely dedicated to creating a new chapter of our beloved series, but also fiercely protective of it, so when he says the series "avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots" we know he and the team fought the good fight.
-Lessor creators would have caved and made the slop. The Stargate creative team did not. For that, I am grateful. I'd rather have no new show, than one that "forgot where it came from".

@BJRichardson100 @BallerToy1327 @elonmusk A lot of people who might not buy a blue check mark from X might still subscribe for traditionally made sci-fi and fantasy...

@BJRichardson100 @BallerToy1327 @elonmusk That's actually a cool idea ... he already owns the media distribution platform....

@jwsherrod I think what Yoda was getting at is that our minds have acquired conceptions of size and mass over a lifetime.

A Jedi should be able to crush the Death Star with his mind but his mind rebels against it because of its innate notions of size and mass.

The notion is the obstacle.

@DNAisCode @dark_road_games Downloadable media may well better than physical media, but that doesn't mean that subscription streaming model is the best paradigm for downloading.

It turns out you're only really renting the content from them for so long as they are willing to do so.

At least we own discs.

I've storyboarded on some big films.

There's no "sanctity of the art" on a film. Infact most of your drawings end up in the trash. They are entirely disposable pieces of working media designed to communicate an idea.

The art is in sequence design, not drawing. You ABSOLUTELY want to streamline this process. You want to empower sequence designers with the simplest and fastest method of keeping characters on model, and iterating ideas. You want to empower storytellers, not just "good drawers".

The fact that people who can "draw good" are the only ones let into the room that defines the cultural narrative of humanity is a grave injustice. The stories that need to be told aren't only the stories of those with a mastery of drawing. Everyone's story deserves to have the opportunity to be told.

Storyboarding isn't primarily art, but language. And language belongs to everyone.

For reference, here's one of Scorcese's own boards. No one could accuse it of being art, yet it served as a functional blueprint for what would become a great film.

AI allows more filmmakers to work faster, iterate more quickly and communicate to collaborators at a higher fidelity.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) didn't have a traditional screenplay. It had the first example of a CINESCRIPT: an amplified screenplay that combined text and printed visuals to communicate the intended visual language before production began.

Drawing stick figures is stealing work from storyboard artists.

@bitcloud Leonardo was obsessed with machines and automatons.

He would have been in awe of what men have achieved in the centuries since he built a mechanical lion of his own ...
