IK: One of the biggest for us has been the shift in emphasis from 30 seconds to 15 seconds. Now it seems that being not that good at any one thing is finally acceptable. It seemed agencies and clients wanted directors who were really good at one thing: directors who film cars in the snow, or guys who can do really good cheese pulls. I think we were viewed as a 'jack of all trades, master of none'. What’s the most significant change you’ve witnessed in the industry since you started working in it?ĬC: When we started we were often discounted because our reel was very diverse comedy, kids, animals, visual transition stuff, etc. I particularly liked the exhibit about Tenochtitlan. IK: The last museum I visited was in Mexico City, the National Museum of Anthropology. From a distance it sounded like a regular choir but it was amazing to be able to walk up to each speaker and listen to a single person’s voice. The 20 or so speakers are placed in a big room. In one of them she recorded each member of a chamber choir separately then assigned each recording to a single speaker so that there was a speaker for each person in the choir. What show/exhibition has most inspired you recently?ĬC: I haven’t been to too many shows or exhibitions recently, but I loved Jannet Cardiff's sound installations. I also love an app called Audm, where audiobook narrators read long-form journalism from great magazines. IK: I love Richard’s Famous Food Podcast. There’s a really good one about the term 'snake oil' and how it used to actually work, and another episode about the fat substitute Olestra that was used in Pringles and caused 'anal leakage'. It’s all about weird American health fads and dieting from the last 100 years or so. What’s your favourite podcast?ĬC: Maintenance Phase. But, then again, it also makes him hard to watch at times too. There was something endlessly watchable about a character who’s singularly guided by their need to be liked. The wave pool baptism, Keefe’s satanic rave, and Judy’s recounting of her Disney wedding are all reasons to watch the show. Recently, I've discovered a brand that’s cleverly called Waterloo.ĬC: The Righteous Gemstones. When I was a kid there was a brand in northern California called Calistoga that was apparently affiliated with a geyser, although I am a little dubious that it actually came from a geyser or spring at all. IK: I’ve always loved sparkling water/club soda/agua con gas. What product could you not live without?ĬC: Either my new MacBook Pro or my Toaster Oven. IK: I got a new iPad that I really like, and I can use it as a second monitor when I travel. I think my children would perish without it. What’s the most recent piece of tech that you’ve bought?ĬC: A new Panasonic Toaster Oven. I love reading fiction and listening to audiobooks so I look at for book ideas. IK: After spending years triangulating between the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, I’ve tried to taper off my constant news intake, but it's not really working. I have a Dungeon Master side hustle I need to stay on top of. What website(s) do you use most regularly?ĬC: After Gmail probably DnD Beyond.
