When I was a little kid one of my favourite movies to watch on TV in the 80s was Battle Beyond the Stars. I think I may have even gone to the cinema to see it aged 7. As I became mad into movies I loved the stories you heard around the making of Battle Beyond the Stars - which combined Star Wars with Seven Samurai (Star Wars itself was influenced by Hidden Fortress - another Japanese movie great). Legend had it that Roger Corman, the man behind the film, was a formidable force creatively. It was often joked that Corman could negotiate a contract from a public phone, shoot the film in the phone box and pay for it with the coins in the change slot. He'd encourage his set designers and special effects teams to think differently regarding how they achieved what they needed to. This resulted in upside down takeaway cartons being spray painted and used as panels on the spaceship interior. Over the decades many famous filmmakers would cut their teeth with Roger Corman. Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese are just a few of the filmmaking professionals who owe their careers to Corman. Make no mistake, he made a lot of B-movies (crap) did Corman... but one thing you should always remember is he made a career out of it and no doubt had a lot of fun along the way. How many of us can say that about our careers? Rest in peace Mr Corman. Your work here is done. And thank you for Battle Beyond the Stars! #creativity #filmmaking #advertising #creativity #screnwriting #movies #rogercorman

I need to watch this! It reminds me of when joined Dolby Europe in 1997 and how far the industry has come in a relatively short (27) years, such big changes… My first job was to transfer the 6-track master sound ‘hot off the mix’ of an upcoming feature film called ‘The Avengers’ from a 6-track magnetic tape master onto the Dolby Magneto Optical Disk (via the Dolby DS10), then run it through the Dolby Stereo Matrix Encoder (mixing down the 6-track sound to 4 channels and creating Dolby Stereo; a 2-channel, encoded version for the optical back-up sound), add Dolby SR Noise Reduction and transfer that on to the MO master disk, so that the master (digital/analog) sound could be transferred to optical film, which would in turn, be married with the picture to create a MASTER negative, in which copies would be created, the trailer that would then go into all the cinemas around the U.K. to promote the upcoming release of the film. It was my first introduction to 35mm film, projectors and mag-audio playback; Kinoton (FP30/38), Cinemeccanica (Victoria 5/8), Sondor. Aligning the 6-track heads (azimuth/focus/dolby level), lacing up the projectors, checking sync, focus, light levels, A-Chain & B-Chain alignment of the projector, sound replay and the room/electro-acoustics alignment. A very in-depth, rather technical process. There was a certain respect for film, a ‘measure twice, cut once kinesthetic approach’ like a top savile row tailor who knew their way around the materials, the creative and the tools. These editors understood the look and feel of the end product from the design process, working with the director to implement their vision right through to the Final Cut, with a legacy understanding of the ‘end to end’ rather complex process. I wish the whole team involved with MOVIOLA the very best of luck.

#OneWordReview... #SkyForce: POWERFUL. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Real-life story that seamlessly blends drama, emotions, patriotism and aerial action... Several goosebumps-inducing moments... #AkshayKumar top-notch, #VeerPahariya confident... Outstanding finale. #SkyForceReview Let's set the record straight: #SkyForce is *not* another #Fighter... The similarity begins and ends with airstrikes on #Pakistan... This one focuses on #India's daring retaliatory strike on the #Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pak war. No, #SkyForce isn't without its share of flaws, but debutant directors #SandeepKewlani and #AbhishekKapur, along with the team of writers, succeed in keeping the audience engrossed and invested for most of the film. #SkyForce should easily rank among #AkshayKumar's finest performances... #VeerPahariya portrays his role with natural ease... #SaraAliKhan leaves an impact despite her limited screen time... #NimratKaur doesn't get much scope. The soundtrack is well integrated into the narrative... The inclusion of the legendary #LataMangeshkar's timeless classic, #AeMereWatanKeLogo, during the final moments is simply exceptional. Plusses: ⭐️ Real-life story ⭐️ Gripping narrative [for the most part] ⭐️ Emotional finale Minusses: ⭐️ Dips in parts of the second half ⭐️ Dialogue could've been more forceful Final word? #SkyForce is a word-of-mouth-driven film... While it may start slow at the #Boxoffice, it has the potential to gain momentum if positive buzz builds.

'What is less attrition in context to Personal Resilience?' 'Less attrition to me is when I see #craftmanship put to work: I get exited and inspired to that, and less attrition is about #immersive curiosity, working hard, smart and getting better at my crafts, and is full-on super stylin' the most actionable fun.'
