I wanna know who edited this so I can bow down to them. I don’t think regular people realize how difficult it is to edit a multi-movie trailer like this, and to choose the exact right sound bites from both the movies and the overarching song. This is a masterwork.
Here’s your first look at the biggest Netflix original films premiering in 2023! #NetflixSaveTheDates

On their journey across the vast and treacherous Atlantic Ocean, the passengers of the Kerberos encounter the biggest mystery of their lives. Welcome to 1899, a deeply immersive new series from the creators of Dark.

Use a volume, don’t use a volume, who cares? What Andor & Mandalorian share is rich storytelling born of a methodical, lengthy, empowered pre-pro. I’ll die on the hill that pre-pro is where virtual production shines & LED is a byproduct to use where helpful not a silver bullet

Amazing to see @poljeremias and @iquilezles receiving their ACM awards for @Shadertoy from Ed Catmull & Pat Hanrahan. A #SIGGRAPH22 highlight for sure.

Music and psychology majors, take note; here is a citizen science goldmine of self-reported songs that people think are most likely to help them stave off a metaphor for crippling depression. Fascinating. open.spotify.com/playlist/5L… (It's 98 hours long so far) – at Miami Beach, FL
