This is just a quick cross-link, I haven’t got much to add, because it’s already weirder than I can make it. [atlas]
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved the magic of movies. There was a long time when I wanted to go into SFX (specifically, to wrangle weaponry for movies, after seeing so many stupid ray guns and anachronisms, like sterling 9mm submachineguns firing blaster bolts or MG42 ‘smart gun’ pulse rifles – and don’t even get me started on mis-balanced swords!) I started buying Cinefex when it first came out and only stopped when the pile got too heavy to move.
Movies are magic. So, you can imagine me squeeing long and hard when I got a chance to wander around the back lot at a major Hollywood studio.
The world of web-scraping ‘bots and click-farming results in weird stuff, sometimes. I got an email from a friend asking me what my involvement might have been in setting this up:
There was some discussion of needles over at Caine’s [affinity] about how needles are made. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this!

One skill I definitely do not have is video editing and composition. It’s both a skill and an art-form, really: the cuts and camera moves, the sound, transitions, framing, timing – it’s much much harder than stills, for me. So I mostly do stills.
I occasionally do silly things with surrealist cosplay and sometimes I seek inspiration in various weird places. Usually that’s “people who liked this also liked…” on Amazon or Ebay and sometimes it takes me to strange places.
“J. G. Ballard was sent to cover the Fyre Festival.” That is all. [boing]
I always love it when the weird get going, and turn something that ought to be everyday into something special and funny and strange.
