Not too bad thanks for asking. Going to be battling with the editor about my font choices, but I’m sure I’ll win him over.

My watch says I’m ready for a workout and all I want to do is sit in the sauna, that counts as a workout right?

How are you?

This video never names it, but it nails the “woozle effect”: when something seems true bc sources cite each other instead of an original. The term’s from Winnie the Pooh, where Pooh and Piglet follow their own tracks in circles looking for "woozles." Perfect metaphor for AI ouroboros poisoning info.

Loved that you showed a mix of shots that you wouldn’t think of having any VFX in. Catapult shot was insane. I have a tendency of saying “sure, we can do that” too, then let it sink in and think how the hell are we going to do this!?😆

The combination of real SFX and VFX was seamless. I hope they release breakdowns in the future.
