Mighty excited to share I've joined the incredible team at @mochine_ai as Director of AI Creative and Innovation.

After 20 years in animation and motion graphics production, it feels incredible to take part in crafting a tool that that can not only elevate your video with custom motion kits BUT that is also a helluva lot of fun to use.

You can vibe out a custom kit based on your logo, website, or simply from a style frame. The real unlock is that these motion kits are EDITABLE and FAST.

Give it the ol whirl over at https://t.co/xZg74vyhof and hit me up w ch'thoughts!

One more thing - this hybrid launch video was insanely fun to be a part of. A true mix of on-set production, AI generated assets, and motion design ✨

This is right, and also, building in the application space rn feels like being chased by a grizzly bear.

h/t @ruedlinger for that analogy.

@Patticus Count me in to subscribe. Would love to hear how you reset your goals (and motivation) after achieving you've been working towards for many, many years.

@csavage I love, love, love hearing stories from your dad. I remember him telling me about Claude Shannon (who basically invented all of digital computing by showing circuits could perform logical functions) being on his thesis committee. As an MIT nerd, this literally blew my mind 🤯

@traceylindeman @traceylindeman This was done in the late 90's by 107.9 WENZ in Ohio. They played "It's the end of the world as we know it" for 24 hours straight leading to a format change. There was a movie made about as well in 2009 https://t.co/iazmq9pNXc

This helps them (@netflix) keep their viewers more continuously engaged with their best content and also gives users a reason to stay perpetually subscribed. (7/7)

[Ben Ruedlinger @ruedlinger]

Rather than dropping a full season of one of their anchor shows all at once…they move to a model where they are releasing a “mini-movie” once a month which substantially contributes to the overall narrative arc…(6/7)

[Ben Ruedlinger @ruedlinger]

This begs the question if @netflix might be better served to utilize a similar approach for content production and releases from a from a subscriber retention perspective, meaning….(5/7)

@netflix has already split season 4 of @Stranger_Things up into two parts with part 1 release on May 27 and part 2 dropping at the beginning of July….(4/7)

[Ben Ruedlinger @ruedlinger]

Personally, I have found this “mini-movie” format much more engaging. As a result, I have been more excited to watch each episode as it feels more like an event unto itself….(3/7)

[Ben Ruedlinger @ruedlinger]

What @netflix has done with the new season of @Stranger_Things is genius. The fact that they have expanded the format and moved to 70-80 minute episodes is amazing. It allows for more plot lines and more depth in terms of story telling…..(2/7)

[Ben Ruedlinger @ruedlinger]

The monthly “mini-movie” is the new weekly show (re: @netflix @Stranger_Things)….(1/7)

@maddiesimens This is awesome. I've been loving everything OpenAI is doing as I have spent more and more time using the tools!

@jayacunzo @birbigs Sorry for your loss. My oldest met my grandma when she was a baby, about a year before my gm died at 94. We took pictures, and shes asked to see them over the years. She talks proudly about getting the chance to meet her even now when she's 13 yo. Those moments make a difference.

@miketighe @wistia Hey Michael, thanks for calling this to our attention. The product team identified the issue from earlier in the day and deployed a fix. You should hopefully see it working now unless the file is still cached for you locally (in which case, try clearing the browser cache).Thanks!

[Brendan Schwartz @brendan]

We've been looking forward to this moment all year: we added podcast support to Wistia today! 🎉

So excited to be bringing the marketing-focused tools and features we've built for video to the world of podcasting!

[Robby Grossman @freerobby]

Our CEO sent this video to all employees. It makes me so proud to work for @Wistia. I know not every company can do this, but if you're a biz leader you have a lot of power to help workers right now. Be bold and make choices you'll be proud of in 6 months. https://t.co/AUFEDwWrQc

[Brendan Schwartz @brendan]

Just pulled the numbers, and over the last month, we've averaged over 4 hours of new content uploaded per minute to @wistia. This is a little less than 1% of what YT receives (as best we can tell). I would have never, ever thought we'd even be remotely close to their scale. 🤯
