Blackmagic has enabled 32K video editing in its software. But is that just a flex, or actually useful? Here's my take. www.digitalcameraworld.com/photography/... #videoediting #video #filmmaking #blackmagic #davinciresolve #32K #16K #8K #4K

This might not end up winning Oscars, but I reckon it's the feelgood film many of us will need this year. The book is excellent, and from the looks of the trailer, this captures the right vibe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJGd... #movies #vfx #cinema

Everything in my feed is about AI today, so allow me to change the subject for a second. This agency is reinventing the case study, and I think they're onto something very cool. www.creativeboom.com/news/super-k... #graphicdesign #designstudio #design #agency @creativeboom.com

Anyone who's not paying attention to pop right now is missing out big time. First Lily Allen's West End Girl, then Rosalía's Berghain, now this from Charli XCX and Jon Cale. Incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgp7...

If you're a fan of Kurupt FM/People Do Nothing, you have to watch this 10-minute short, which touches on men's mental health, but in a non-obvious way you won't even notice. Hilarious stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNHm... #MentalHealth @GeoffNorcott #mensmentalhealth

This is my second book. Although I say it myself, it's really good. I'd suggest you buy one. amazon.co.uk/50-Greatest-... #design #graphicdesign #productdesign #typography #cardesign #designer #designclassics
