If I had an important but technical role in the film or TV industry I would be really pissed off with the streamers. Everyone is just going to skip your credits automatically. For all the best boys, dolly grips & the other unsung heroes out there.

Why can't people just make the thing any more? Do they have to make the thing, get the lighting right, adjust the audio, narrate, record it, edit and post it for god and everyone to see? Try baking bread, woodworking, making beer, quilting, etc. and keeping it to yourself.

🚜FARMAGEDDON🌾 The story of what's REALLY going on in farming. A story far more complex than the conventional wisdom. This isn't just (or even mainly) about inheritance tax. It's about a cascade of challenges & crises that could ultimately threaten food security. 5min primer👇 youtu.be/7CjZSfapKmA?...

Is it too much to ask for Foley artists to use the correct engine sound for a motorcycle. I would settle for the correct engine configuration if they can't find the right bike. 2 films tonight Ava On screen: Yamaha T7 Sound: H-D V-twin Atomic Blonde On screen: BMW R90S Sound: parallel twin
