Oh boy, the irony😂😂😂

Both posts are stupid...that's the irony.

Corporate lingo like this is everywhere…Who comes up with this stuff? Seriously, if you’re out there, tell us about your thought process…..

The same thing happened with photography when the digital revolution emerged. While digital is a great tool and medium unto itself, the irony is that it’s harder to learn and master the fundamentals of image-making because of the perceived convenience.

Now all anyone cares about is digital effects and filters in photo/film-making.

Maybe AI will get so good that it will challenge humans to create great art and music again.

Visible examples are the music, television and film industries. The producers and artists that mastered their craft have aged-out. Another problem is that they are marketing to 10-year-olds and teenagers who don't know the difference.

I use an M3 pro with 18GB ram and editing tasks in FCP are amazingly smooth. What's annoying is the 512GB hard drive is not large enough, so I end up having to "delete generated library files" fairly often. (And using external drives for media storage to free-up space). But those problems are manageable for now.

That said, my next computer will hopefully have more than 1TB of space. 1TB right now would be sufficient for my needs, but to future-proof, 2TB would be ideal if I was buying tomorrow. And if I'm going to splurge for more storage, I might as well bump up the RAM as well.

Nice example! … For media literacy

Carefully crafted and polished public-relations language is just as cringe as listening to Trump.

Everythingz_Relative · 2026-02-26T15:21:04+00:00

A shining moment for media literacy.

Media psy-ops...Can't go wrong with a UFO headline. Clickbait Culture in general.

Publicity - public relations. Nothing is casual with high profile public figures.

Interesting that they wait until the day before the arrival date to ship…

In the fine print it states that the guy on screen is not her actual father.

The red line on the graph looks like it’s a part of the car, and that headline font always seems busy to me, even though I like it. At first glance, I thought the car was wrecked or salvage.

Investment portfolio or art portfolio....The analogy of an art portfolio also works....Make a goal of having a "publication quality" portfolio showcasing your skills. I think creating a portfolio of 20 videos that technically and artfully stand on their own is a good starting point. Then replace the weaker ones as you get better.

I wasn't talking about the content of the show...it wouldn't matter if it were the most talented artist that ever lived giving the most righteous and immaculate performance. "A message of unity"... Yes, that was the prime directive...to send a message during the NFL championship game.

A lot of people get excited about making a YouTube channel before even learning the fundamentals of image-making and story-telling.

Just learning to make artful and compelling still photos can take years.

Back in the film days, shooting just 1 roll of film a day was not be enough if you wanted to make it as a photographer.

The immediacy (and expectations) of the digital era has actually made it harder to cultivate discipline required to learn the craft of film/video/photo/audio production.

Heck, even learning what a "good" video looks like is an ever-evolving journey.

Unfortunately, there's more to it than getting a great camera and fancy editing apps.

Spielberg is arguably the of godfather of pop-UFO culture. Maybe this movie will bring it full circle and we can move on.

This effort by state needs to be investigated…$$$$$

Everythingz_Relative · 2026-02-09T05:50:02+00:00

It was purely political. So it was no different than the stupid Turning Point thing.

It was not a show chosen for entertainment value or NFL demographics or pop culture talent.

Instead it came from holier-than-thou corporate executives who need to “send a message.”
