Wrapping up that short unblocked something in my brain; freed me up to think about what I might want to write and make next. What a lovely feeling.
I've tried a bunch of creative outlets over the past few years, but working with AV media againâworking with what is still called, accurately or not, for better or worse-film, caused me to remember how much I love it.
The other, a 12ish minute short, had been sitting on a hard drive since early 2020. I thought a few times of just abandoning it, letting it go, but something made me open up the edit this week and see what needed doing. In the end, not that much.
𧔠I'll probably write about this in longer form at some stage, BUT... I finished two film projects this week. One, a micro-film made entirely from Al media, was an experiment and sample work for my students.

It always blows my mind how quickly semesters pass once teaching is underway. Already a quarter of the way through things: insane.
Iâve had an exhausting yet satisfying few weeks of work. There were moments I thought I was slipping back into old routines of overwork and overwhelm, but each time I managed to pull myself out of it. Reminding myself daily of the small joys of this genuinely tough occupation.

AI-generated imagery isnât the issue, necessarily. Itâs what the generators are trained on, and whether or not that material is licensed/cleared for the specific use.
academia edu used to be a great resource, not just for pre-prints, hard-to-find articles, keeping track of authors, but also as an academic social network. It's now over-engineered, often confusing and misleading, with little value for academic profile. The Pro version is also now extortionate.
