Thats crazyyyyy! 12 hours and no OT?? 

Surprised that you still find time to be here, read books!

Physical production: most people don’t realize how physically and emotionally draining it is. A standard shift is 12 hours (without OT), and yoi’re lucky if you’re actively filming for 2-3 hours because the biggest part of your day is either prepping something or waiting for someone to prep something for you. Not to mention there is no personal life outside of work - only sleep

Non-physical: people majorly underestimate the number of non-creative “normies” who contribute to a movie or show. These people are as important as your favorites on the set

I didn’t know you worked in tv! What’s something that most people don’t know in your profession?

experiments, stories, and haikus for people curious enough to read: paragraph.xyz/@oversky

just wrapped up a project that translates videos based on context from the video and localizes the translations using openAI and Llama which is why I ask. Super fun to have been part of the media parts for that

I don’t dabble in this niche field anymore - as in I’m almost completely hands off this part of the process

Back in the day, there were active attempts but it wasn’t as widespread yet

are you using AI and LLMs for your localization/subbing?
