Someone asked to take a photo with me in my Halloween costume and it genuinely made my day. :)

Bonus: Some kid pointed at me and shouted "FALLOUT"!

Rotational brown outs so bad that they're starting to happen in my dreams too. Gahd.

I remember before Lazada would automatically paste from my clipboard without me asking when I opened the app. This was years ago when I still had an iPhone and this would happen for everything, even passwords I copy pasted from my password manager.
We've developed a secure paste feature replacing traditional clipboard APIs. Users will be able to take away clipboard access from apps to use this instead. It integrates into the standard selection toolbar, input methods, accessibility services and keyboard shortcuts. We plan to get it merged soon.

I don't see why I can't make three short films then stitch them together then release it as my first feature. 🤨

One down, two to go.

This film is based on my real life experiences with my younger brother with special needs. The story is dear to my heart and I'm so grateful to everyone who helped make this dream a reality.

It's such a humbling experience to see our short film in the cinema for the first time.

It means so much to us that many cried over a story based on my experiences with my younger bro with special needs.

Thank you to all who helped us with this film and to all who watched the premier.

Based on my experiences with my younger brother with special needs.

The fact that two low-budget horror films have beat out an actual Star Wars movie in the box office makes me so damn happy.

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

✅ Festival cut

✅ Extended cut

I'm hoping to finish the Director's cut this weekend.

Also, no, I'm not using the monitors. The film is already color graded and the sound is already mixed. They're just there so I'll look cool. 😎

Do people still like VFX breakdowns? Our upcoming short film has a lot of them but most are either invisible or basic. We did a lot of screen replacements and paint outs.

McDonald's new HazelRock McFlurry is pretty good. I think I'm finally over the loss of Jollibee's Cookie Caramel Sundae.

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse.

I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence.

Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

Our short film's is a bit over 27mins long. But since most local festivals have a limit of 20mins, we had to trim it down a bit.

Wowa and I spent the past few weeks choosing what to cut and what to keep, and now we've landed exactly at 20mins flat. Not a single frame more or less.

Just tried my hand working for this new company that pays way more than I'm used to.

I lasted a week. 🥲

AI has genuinely ruined this industry.

Why are they talking about feeding kids, universal healthcare, free housing, etc. like it's a bad thing?

Making closed captions and subtitles is tedious as hell but making our film more accessible makes it feel worth while. Especially since I have a grandmother who has difficulty hearing.

Basil got me the Velociraptor toys from the Jurassic Park trilogy + a resonating chamber for my bday.

We actually had a long discussion before about the raptor designs. Personally both the design and performance of the raptors from JP3 were peak. Genuinely felt like an intelligent animal predator.
