You've missed the point - which is often the problem with posting quotes. I agree that we still live in a Foucauldian world and that many of those factors remain. But what Han is getting at (and his broader thesis in 'The Burnout

A director in many ways is just a curator - assembling the right artists who they feel will be capable of recognising and contributing to a stated sensibility. Establishing and empowering those artists, while, simultaneously, ensuring the

Curious to see hear what makes this different to other players in this space (eg Cinegrain, Filmconvert, etc)? Or what your ideal user is? After all: - Halation tranforms are pretty easy to create. - There are plenty of 4k film scans out t

I really don't have a dog in this fight. I'm not a US citizen. I cannot stand Trump. I pretty much only care about this issue from an information architecture pov. But ... from my understanding, a hand-count is not the same as

I'm no Trump fan, but I try to be open with this stuff and actually tuned into one of the Arizona hearings out of curiosity. It was pretty interesting hearing from a retired US colonel giving evidence to say that these machines are bu

Are we at a consolidation point in terms of resource ownership and inequality? Or are we merely ascending a steep sine wave during chaotic times? I can't tell. Things like Central Bank digital currency and authoritarian tech would su

Population size and distrust of authority have a fairly linear relationship. The bigger we get, the further from power and decision-making we feel we are. This makes a great case for no censorship. Of course, the gremlins created by the a

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm done with trying to create startups that integrate within current online ecosystem. Startup culture bullshits on so much about "pain points" to solve in the world, but surely one of our biggest

It's only in these last few years that I've realised how naive I was about getting into tech to 'empower community' and 'change the world'. Now I look at what the benevolent masters of the universe at Davos are

Artists in the soviet era had to employ all kinds of allegories and humor to communicate their experience without being reprimanded by KGB censors. I'll take free speech over assigning any group the power to arbitrate what is consider

I re-clicked and still don't see any jump cuts. The video actually has pretty standard film grammar, but cuts at a very quick pace. The Youtuber aesthetic you mention is full of abrupt jumpcuts.

by l33tbro 6y ago
I think you mean quick cutting. Jump cuts refer to when the filmmaker uses roughly the same frame size and jumps forward in time. Godard's 'Breathless' being the first prominent use.

For me, synthesis is a mode of cognition that is often paywalled by the endless trivia of everyday life. So, as you say, I'll often read something quite passively and just not have the time to think deeply on it. I do think we all app

Nothing I've read about Warhol's interior life has ever suggested that he was some kind of subversive Diogenestic visionary - peering into the cold dead abyss of Anerican capitalism. This reputation has come from subsequent readi

I think consummated talent yields entitlement. Worse yet, talented individuals quickly lose credibility when Dunning and Kruger become chaperones. For all its protestant affectation, humility is very useful.
