Amsterdam thoughts pt.2: - way more people with mobility aids - thought bikes being everywhere & relative lack of crosswalks would make things hectic - but actually, everyone seems way more spatially aware - i can barely fit into ANY of the clothes they sell 🫥

unlikely that i release anything that makes the Sight & Sound ”best video essays” list this year… kinda sad to break my streak… buuut it’s only bc i’m gearing up to drop 5 of the craziest videos youve ever seen in 2027

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
Maddy Myers 🏳️🌈@midimyers.com · 5d agoit's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
working on the first-ever video essay with shard collection mechanics
Matt Patches@misterpatches.bsky.social · 5d agoOne thing video games have over film is collecting shards. Regardless of how big Christopher Nolan goes with his camera, his movies will never allow us to collect shards.
1. i love being the first person people think of when Bryan does anything 2. $100 says this is the leadup for a new product announcement. i have no idea what else it could be.
I'm Not Your Gay Dad@braindouche.bsky.social · 6d agoSomeone grab @lily-is.online real quick, breaking news
eventually you run out of reasonable things to be dysphoric about and move on to some real bullshit. “noooo i’m 5’8” girl 🤫🤐

I was deactivated when this came out, but HIIII i talked about first-person movies with Jacob and @patrickhwillems.bsky.social! was a great chat!
Jacob Geller@jacobgeller.com · last mo.Also: only on Nebula, I've got an exclusive companion video where Patrick Willems, Lily Alexandre, and I analyze the filmmaking choices of Nickel Boys and Hardcore Henry! I learn so much from both of them, I LOVE how this conversation went. nebula.tv/videos/jacob...

Lily Alexandre 🛰️@lily-is.online · 2w agoon the beach with my wife, who’s alive. having a blast!
Happy 52nd day of Pride Month. To celebrate, I made a video essay about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury in the hopes that I can get other people to share my hyperfixation. It'll be up on Youtube later this week but you can watch it on Nebula right now. nebula.tv/videos/ladye...

hey friends in my phone, I'm making a new short film about being insecure and transgender at the club. it's basically buffy meets castration movie and we launched our fundraiser last night. would mean a lot if you'd check it out, share it around, and donate <3 link below
I love this video too ! As an amateur photographer I find interesting to try and understand how what I do in the public space impacts people and how things that go beyond my shots impacts reactions

this one’s been getting some love lately (thanks in part to the @jacobgeller.com shoutout) and man it’s been nice. it’s an uncomfortable topic, but i don’t think you can understand the 2020s without understanding what surveillance does to us.
