    How Daniel Day-Lewis F*cked Up ‘Phantom Thread’ with His Bad Acting


    Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread” is up for six Oscars…no thanks to Daniel Day-Lewis.


    The 90th Academy Awards are but hours away, and as we all wait with squirrely anticipation, one can’t help but look at all of the nominees in each category and wonder, “Why is Daniel Day-Lewis such a bad actor?” You know?



    It’s that same kind of sentiment you have when you’re in line at the DMV, or when your tax refund is like, $27.50, or when you pour milk into your cereal thinking there was definitely enough but there totally wasn’t, and now you have to basically eat sugary croutons for breakfast.



    “Why is Daniel Day-Lewis such a bad actor?” It’s the “Thanks, Obama” of 2018.



    I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that Daniel Day-Lewis has always been regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time—the Meryl Streep of acting, if you will, but that doesn’t seem to be the case according to one of the producers of Phantom Thread. In this video, Elise Barnett gives you an inside look at what it was really like to be on set with DDL.

    Watch: Is Billy Wilder the Best Screenwriter of All Time?


    There are plenty of amazing storytellers working in film, so what makes Billy Wilder so special?


    What makes a screenwriter good? Is it their ability to structure an effective and efficient story, to write snappy dialogue, or to build dimensional characters? Is it the quality of being an unpredictable, multifaceted, transgressive risk-taker? Or, is it all about being entertaining to as many movie lovers as possible?



    I mean, it depends on who you ask, but for the most part, I think people would say the answer is—all of those things rolled into one supreme superwriter. But who possesses all of these qualities and quite certainly many, many more? Well, if Vulture’s recent list of the 100 Best Screenwriters of All Time indicates anything it’s that director, screenwriter, and all-around cinematic legend Billy Wilder does.



    In this video essay, Sage Hyden of Just Write explores the many potential reasons why 40 of today’s top screenwriters voted Wilder to be #1 on the list, from his versatility to his incredibly clever and economic storytelling.

    A Primer on Using the Fibonacci Sequence to Compose Your Shots


    Filmmaking is math. Look it up!


    Nature, for the most part, is a numbers game, revealing how so many of the structures we see in our world and beyond are made up of discernable patterns and sequences. What does that have to do with filmmaking? Well, nothing—unless your goal in crafting an image is to tap into its inherent aesthetic qualities through one of the most beautiful series of numbers on Earth: the Fibonacci Sequence.



    This video from Aputure not only gives you a quick primer on what the Fibonacci Sequence is but also how to use it in your own compositions. Check it out below:





    I love math, man. I love it so damn much. I originally wanted to go to school to be some sort of mathematician, and in fact, that’s what lead me to Fibonacci and filmmaking. I went to my local library one day and found a book about the Fibonacci Sequence. I took it home, read it, obsessed over it, learned about the Golden Ratio and how it was used in art and thought, “I need to make images that follow this pattern.”




    0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144…

    The Omnipresent AI – 2018 SXSW Programming Trends

    Each year, different trends emerge from SXSW programming and act as identifiers for where we’re at and where we’re headed. From the 12 significant trends identified by the SXSW Programming Team for the 2018 event, The Omnipresent AI explores the potential outcomes of opening the Pandora’s box that is AI. Get to know this trend and related-SXSW sessions below that we think will dominate discussions this March.

    The Omnipresent AI Trend

    A data-driven, high-tech future, filled with humanoid machines and hover-cars, is a popular trope seen in film and literature, but these fictional worlds aren’t so distant from our own. Information technology has been rooted in our society for decades, but at this accelerating rate of innovation within today’s tech industry, AI’s growing presence is bridging the gap between today and the future – and stirring both concern and excitement in the process.

    As AI integrates further into our lives, how will lawmakers adjust regulations that allow this unpredictable technology to grow at a safe distance? Join Andrew Burt in the session Regulating AI: How to Control the Unexplainable to learn more. Joanne Chen of Foundation Capital, Dr. Fei-Fei Li of Stanford University, and shift7’s Megan Smith will challenge the issue of fear surrounding AI by discussing the positive repercussions of broadly distributing this tech to more users and developers in the session Democratizing AI for Individuals & Organizations.

    The potential role of learning machines as artists in creative industries will be addressed by Nicole McDonald of MARRY the MOON, TechCrunch’s Mike Butcher, and others in the session Will AI Change the Future of Creativity?, and Zohar Dayan of Wibbitz and NYC Media Lab’s Justin Hendrix will discuss the relationship between AI and media industries in Content Creation in the Age of AI. AI’s promising future will also be explored from the industry of beauty and fashion in the session AI: Transforming Luxury, Fashion and Beauty, led by speakers Guive Balooch of L’Oreal, Megan Berry of by Reveal, Kenya Wiley of the Fashion Innovation Alliance, and Heuritech’s Tony Pinville.

    Add these sessions to your 2018 SXSW Schedule so you can experience the AI conversation for yourself in March. Stay tuned for more programming announcements.

    2018 Academy Award Nominees Reveal How to Make A Great Short


    Are you broke, an underdog, or sharing an apartment with six flatmates? All you need to create an Oscar-caliber short film is the following.


    Short films are truly a unique expression of film, not just merely shorter versions of their feature counterparts. “Ru and I believe deeply in the short film form,” said Negative Space co-director Max Porter, “and the short film is like a poem.”
