Do I have anyone in my friends/colleagues network that would consider themselves adept/advanced with DaVinci Resolve workflows related to motion graphics? I would love to get some 1-on-1 time to talk through my use cases and get some direct guidance. Will pay for your time.

This is an issue I've had ever since the Disney renaissance movies came out on blu ray (and some dvds). They really were made to be printed on film. I was astonished at how the light glowed while watching them on film or vhs as a kid. That glow is lost (literally) on the digitally sourced transfers.
The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released.
Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore:

A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game.
Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language.
I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.

I have now witnessed the last 2 Twins players to wear No. 21 *and* hit home runs in their first MLB at-bat
Emmanuel Rodriguez today and Andre David vs. Detroit in 1984
Three things:
1. That was David's only career homer.
2. David's came off Jack Morris
3. I'm older than you may think

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose!

“Deciding on a premise”
One of the most enduring muppets bits is two monsters and a hippie scatting along to a half remembered piece of music originally from a Swedish soft core porn film. You don’t need a premise. The premise is “there are muppets”

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk

it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
