1st episode of a new year (2025) and a new season! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann do a 2024 year in review.

Ricardo also forces his co-hosts to listen to his painful childhood memories, Piotr acts as a game show host when linking the Rashomon effect to the Mandela effect, and Erwann bores the hell out of everyone by talking about his love for an old TV show that noone cares for.Can you think of other movies or TV shows that use the Rashomon effect ?-----Links for some of the things we talked about:Studio Binder: What is The Rashomon Effect in Film? - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-the-rashomon-effect-definition/Wikipedia: The Rashomon Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_effectAkira Kurosawa - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa#Criterion: The Rashomon Effect - https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/195-the-rashomon-effect?srsltid=AfmBOooDwTjvHU1kW9QGBMXE-P3u2T6x4IbX8ChJYWTtxQOOAYWOrsicTwisted - https://youtu.be/xEnLOKe6__A?si=E5EtXvs6AQ2j64eYRashomon - https://boxd.it/2a9KThe Last Duel - https://boxd.it/mQbeAmerican Psycho - https://boxd.it/28Vs12 Angry Men - https://boxd.it/2auI-----Let's build a community!Questions?

Episode 28! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann have been giving each other feedback on their projects, so they talk about how to spare everyone’s feelings while giving constructive criticism. They wonder who to ask for feedback, what to really keep from the notes given, test screenings, and the insanity of rating movies with the thumbs up/thumbs down method that streaming services enjoy. Also, is "It’s boring!" good or bad feedback ? Piotr says it's good...Let us know if he’s wrong!--We'd love to hear from you!Questions? Comments? Improvements?

A listener asked to hear more about editing techniques so Ricky and Piotr talk about the Kuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect. Named after early 20th century Russian film maker and film theorist, Lev Kuleshov, the “Effect” or “Kuleshov Experiment” as it was also known as, was actually a demonstration proving the effectiveness of existing editing techniques.  Ricky and Piotr talk a little about who Kuleshov was, what the "Effect" is and how filmmakers like Hitchcock, Spielberg and others adapted it in their own film making. Then give examples of the Khuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect in recent films and TV.

The theme of this week's episode is "With great power comes great responsibility" as Piotr and Ricky talking about a few of the new AI offerings from Adobe (Generative Extend and Firefly) and Flawless AI's DeepEditor. Without getting deep into describing Adobe's applications, simply put they're useful tools for filmmakers/ artists in a pinch. i,e,. giving that shot a little more tails, fixing someones eye trace, creating missing shots, etc. Where as DeepEditor is some black magic deepfake that works wonders but could be devastating in the wrong hands. Ricky points out that Adobe and Flawless have language about being ethical so much so that DeepEditor can't be utilized without consent from actors. Ricky and Piotr also talk about Piotr attending a couple editing workshops at the Warsaw Film Festival. Plus, American Cinema Editor's EditFest Global and the next season of the podcast. Apologies for Ricky's terrible audio, he had the wrong mic selected. Also, quick correction - Ricky references the movie, "Tower" in regards to DeepEditor, but what he really meant was "Fall." Apololgies.

In this quick episode, Piotr uses learning to ride his electric unicycle BACKWARDS as an analogy to discuss with Ricky the way we learn editing. The words intentionally, incidentally, experimentally and accidentally are thrown around, but what it boils down to is that being a good editor isn't something you learn in a book; It's something that comes with years of doing it repeatedly; finding out new things along the way by accident or experimentation. Also, in this episode we hear about Ricky's house-moving whoas, his trip to Copenhagen and watching Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Plus, Piotr mentions the Polish Netflix series, 1670.Can you ride a unicycle backwards?--Here are links to a few of the things mentioned in this episode:Electric unicycle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_unicycleIntentional vs Incidental Editing - https://typeset.io/questions/what-are-the-differences-between-incidental-and-intentional-901555hj2sMission Impossible: Rogue Nation - https://boxd.it/5rI41670 - https://www.netflix.com/de-en/title/81553471--We'd love to hear from you!Questions?
