I was one of the compositors on this shot responsible for painting out, and adding in, the blood on the lens as the shot progresses through multiple transitions. I spent nearly 2 months on the task (shake didn’t have projection workflows!).
Did you not get enough of the insanely talented @KaitlynDever after this weekend’s smash hit NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU? Well, NOW you can buy or rent her incredible film ROSALINE, directed by @karen__maine and written by @thisisweber & @iamthepuma!!

due to a recent fire, Yu & Me Books in Chinatown NY needs to remain closed for a year. if you’ve ever been to the store or one of their events, you know that the store is the heartbeat of Chinatown. please consider supporting their GoFundMe so they can stay afloat & rebuild:
It really says it all that in a business composed entirely of legendary oddballs, weirdos, cranks, and curmudgeons, John Romita was the ONE man that every single professional past and present would point to as a pure gentleman and talent. Very few like that. May’ve only been one.
@JrRomita John, I’m so sorry. What an incredible man. He was hero to so many legendary artists but only one got to call him Dad. Sending hugs to you and your family.
Fun fact, Netflix is (proudly) already training AI systems on every single piece of content they have and creating an annotated, searchable cataloguing of every single shot.
I’m going to reiterate how much it sucks that a film @ihultquist & I spent nearly a year on (as composers! imagine the other film makers!) is disappearing from streaming on Disney+ today…. Long live #Rosaline & may it find another home soon! ♥️ cc @karen__maine@editrix_rex
Elevator To The Gallows (1958) score was composed and performed by Miles Davis in a one session recording while he watched a screening of the film. He took notes while watching the rough cut and then invited 4 fellow musicians without preparation to record it in one go. Genius.
ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one...

The ongoing discussion about AI and writing keeps bringing me back to this quote from A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN: "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great." Writing isn't about shortcuts; it's about digging deeper.
