689 - The Old New Video Problem
01:00:42 Share

New forms of video creation are coming to disrupt the entertainment industry, but will they succeed? John and Craig look at verticals and Veo 3 to see where we might be heading, and what our industry’s past innovations might tell us about about the future.

We also look at Memorial Day’s banner box office, and answer listener questions on bereavement during production, momentum, scene geography and how to fight motion smoothing.

In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig travel back in time to find which moments in history they wish they could see in person.
