Hey Crew sorry I'm behind again. With the fires happening my job is very busy and I'm a bit exhausted. Will try to catch up as much as I can tonight!

== OFMD Cancellation Anniversary ==

January 9th was the 1 year cancellation anniversary of our first cancellation of Season 3. So many of you folks shared some wonderful feelings and memories you had that day and since that day. It was an anniversary full of melancholy, but it was also lovely to see how much people got out of the fandom since then. Our friends over at @adoptourcrew also sent out some prompts to help us reflect about OFMD an what it means to us! Did you get a chance to share your thoughts?

Samba and Family Seem to be safe, no reporting of issues Dominic Burgess - Safe so far Damien Gerard - Safe so far Lindsey Cantrell - Safe so far

== LA Fire Resources ==

A lot of the cast & crew have been sharing LA Fire Resources on Instagram and Lindsey's been really active so I wanted to share something that I didn't realize (and I'm in the disaster aid sector for work!). I wasn't able to find the article she mentioned, but I did find a similar one more recently which I'll attach as well:

In Addition, I've been trying to compile some feeds on blusky for when I see cast & crew share information (and I make sure to vet it) when it comes to where to donate or community resources. LA Fires, Where To Donate LA Fires, Resources Something to keep in mind, for those trying to help, donation needs change on the daily, so if you're really looking to help certain groups (Ex: Pasadena Humane Society) be sure to follow their socials as they'll be the most up to date with what their needs are.

Thank you to all the awesome people who have been sharing ofmdbz, @summerlinenss, and everyone who's tagged those feeds <3

= Charity Raffle =

if we’d like to keep the generosity going, the incredibly talented mike berlucchi (cinematographer of ofmd) has lost his home as well.

hey crew! i know there’s a LOT going on right now, but dj shared this gofundme to help his friends who lost their home in the eaton fire. as of right now they’re still under 50% of their goal. i think sharing the link is the least we can do, especially today. ❤️‍🩹

Mike Berlucchi has been submitted for Outstanding Cinematography in a Series for Man on Fire. #OFMDEmmys

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let's start with Izzy's death. Did you always plan to kill Izzy off this season?

DAVID JENKINS: Yes. It feels like the logical end of Izzy's arc. It's heartbreaking to me because he's my favorite. They're all my favorite because they're all my kids, but Izzy is very near and dear to my heart. The season was kind of built around [the idea of]: What's the best journey we can give him? And what's the most interesting thing we can do with Con, who can do just about anything?

How did Con react when you laid out Izzy's storyline this season?

I told him in the middle of shooting because I didn't want him to find out at the table read, obviously. I also didn't want it to leak. He was lovely about it. I called him and said, "Let's get a bite to eat," and he said, "I'll need cake!" We had dinner, and I gave him a cuddle, and he took it pretty well.

A lot of these characters have evolved over two seasons, but it seems like Izzy has gone through one of the biggest evolutions. He went from being so dismissive of the others to being a key part of the crew. What interested you most about his arc?

You know, I didn't expect him to become kind of a father figure to Ed. I think we hit on that while we were breaking the [final] episode. He's in such a weird position: He's like a jilted lover, and then he's a middle manager who has to work for a terrible boss. He gets thrown away, and then he comes back. He really develops, and he becomes a part of this family. I think the biggest surprise was the extent that he was a mentor to Ed. They were both Blackbeard. They both made Blackbeard happen.

What do you remember most about filming Izzy's death scene?

That was one of the last things we shot. As we got closer and closer to it, I could see it weighing on Con. It's hard: This is something we both made together, and his character is gonna die. He was taking it really seriously. Then, when we were shooting, I made him a playlist. I asked if I could play him some music, and I did, and we sat there and we watched Izzy die.

I also wanted to ask about the scene where Ed and Stede reunite on the beach, fighting their way back to each other through hordes of soldiers. How did you want to approach that sequence?

We have a wonderful fight and stunt coordinator, Jacob Tomuri, and [director] Fernando Frias laid out how he wanted to shoot it with [cinematographer] Mike Berlucchi. With this show, we're basically making a one-hour show on a half-hour budget and schedule, so we really have to pick our shots. But the location was just unreal. Everything in New Zealand just looks amazing. We were driving to a different location to scout the lake where Blackbeard tries to be a fisherman, and it was like, "What is this?" It was this giant black sand dune that seems to go on for miles. We were like, "Oh, we have to do something here."

The episode ultimately ends with a happy ending for Ed and Stede: They're starting an inn together on land as their friends sail off to new adventures. Walk me through why you wanted to give these two a happy ending.

With this season starting so dark, I kind of wanted to reward them for the work that they've done and the character growth that they've had. I wanted to leave them in a place where they're really going to try and make this work. I don't think it's going to be easy for them, necessarily. They're both still immature. But after the death of Izzy, we have a wedding, and it feels like we have the kids taking the car, driving off while the parents watch from the porch. It felt right to give them something to balance the loss of Izzy, where neither of them is going to run. They're both saying they're going to commit to each other, and it felt like the best place to leave them this season.

That makes sense. So much of their story has been about running away: Stede running away from his family, them running away from each other. This is them deciding not to run away.

And I don't think it's going to be easy. I think the day after that scene would be very hard. But they can try.

You mentioned the wedding between Lucius and Black Pete. I know that pirate weddings and civil partnerships were a real thing from history. Why did you want to end on that moment?

We knew we wanted a matelotage in the second season, and pretty quickly we landed on Lucius and Black Pete. It seems like they were ready for that. We made up a ceremony and everything, where they call each other mateys, and it was just fun to make our own version of a pirate wedding ceremony. But they really did have this phrase "matelotage." It was a formal process for relationships between crew members. It just seemed very sweet to see that they wanted to take that step together.

Last season ended on a cliffhanger, but this season ends pretty neatly, tying up a lot of loose threads. This could work as a series finale. Do you know if the show is getting a season 3, and are you already thinking about where this story could go next?

I mean, we'll see. We'll see if it makes sense for them to make a third one. We have a lot of ideas for a third season, and there's a lot more story to tell. But if it's not in the cards, I just wanted to leave Ed and Blackbeard in a good place. Instead of seeing them get punished for following each other, I wanted to see a moment where they're alright. And it is just a moment: I think a relationship is going to take a lot of work for them.

But it felt like a good place to end the second season. It felt like a contrast to the first season. If it turns out we don't make any more, I'm comfortable with that being a resting place.

You're leaving the door open for more — but if this the end, you're okay with that.

I mean, the Revenge is now being captained by Frenchie, and I think Frenchie's Revenge would be an interesting place to work and an interesting ship to be boarded by. And Ed and Stede, they're in the early 30s part of their relationship. Emotionally, they're going to move in together and start a business. I think there's a whole other story to tell about what happens when that relationship gets more mature. How do you make that relationship work? It's not just happily ever after. You have to work at it. And that's a story I'd like to see.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

lightironpost: Happy #Pride Month! For #FramegrabFriday, check out a few stills from #OurFlagMeansDeath and insight on final color from #LightIron Supervising Colorist Corinne Bogdanowicz. "The look of the show is very filmic, with a softer contrast and warm undertones. There is a lot of sky and water visible, so we took care to make sure the blues were not too vibrant or distracting. Much of the series takes place on pirate ships, so we had fun making each scene feel a little unique while maintaining an overall vibe for the show. I worked with the DPs ahead of the shoot while they were doing testing with LED walls. We made sure to view the test footage in 4K HDR so we would be able to see any issues or artifacts that might come up. Their DIT made an SDR LUT to use while shooting, and I made a corresponding HDR LUT to use for HDR review of the footage. The main grade was done in HDR with DP Mike Berlucchi (@MikeBerlucchi) supervising. We worked to integrate the footage with the LED walls with the VFX that were being done. We had some fun with parts of the show that could fall away from reality a bit. Some of my favorites were the flashbacks that differed with saturation, a very red nightmare scene, and a green fog. The show is a brilliantly shot collaboration, with a beautiful look that enhances the characters and locations." Dailies & final finish proudly supported by #LightIron Los Angeles.

Paul Tunnah named 4th most influential person in UK health tech

pharmaphorum’s founder Dr Paul Tunnah has been named the 4th most influential person in UK health tech by the Tyto Tech 500.

The Tyto Tech 500 Power List ranks the 500 most influential individuals in the UK tech sector. It was created using a five-stage data-driven analysis process, assessing an individual’s traditional and social media influence as well as prominence at public events. 

There are four factors that combine to provide an influence rank: Personal Influence using Social Media Rank (a combination of LinkedIn and Twitter Reach and Post Frequency; Business Authority using Owned Media Rank (business website or blog domain authority rank); Industry Support (listed as a speaker at a tech conference in the last 12 months); and Amplification through Earned Media (being cited at least six times in the last 12 months in key media).

“I’m very flattered to be recognised as one of the leading influencers in UK health tech, amongst such esteemed company,” Paul said. “Technology is transforming all industries, but in healthcare its impact could literally be life-saving, so it’s great to see the work of the pharmaphorum team and myself reflected in this ranking spanning all sectors.”

The full list of the Top 10 UK health tech influencers is as follows: 

Dr. Michael Mosley – BBC

Ali Parsa – Babylon Health

Jerry Daykin – GSK

Dr Paul Tunnah – pharmaphorum

Shafi Ahmed – Medical Realities

Mike Ward – SCRIP

Maneesh Juneja – MJ Analytics Ltd

Matteo Berlucchi – your.MD

Vishal Gulati – Draper Esprit

Dr Victoria Betton – mHabitat

On the overall list, which includes 500 influencers from 20 tech subsectors including Health, Paul was ranked 101 – an impressive feat considering that only 14% of the list is made up of journalists, and there are only 20 health tech influencers featured in the top 500 list.

Paul founded pharmaphorum in 2009. He is a recognised author, speaker and industry advisor on content marketing, communications and digital innovation, having worked with many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies and the broader ecosystem of healthcare organisations.

Wonderland | A Short Form Doc on Creative Commerce from keeper on Vimeo.

In the spring of 2013 Hunter Hampton and Eskimo partnered to go on a filmmaking journey around the US to meet with various creative professionals in hopes of capturing a glimpse of what it is like to work in the creative industry. The idea was born out of our own questions and struggles on how to deal with things that may seem out of your control.

The themes we decided to focus on were those of creativity, relationships, the pursuit of financial profit, and the many directions you can intentionally or unintentionally find yourself taking. We hope the short provides direction in helping others pursue their own creative and personal goals by hearing first hand experiences. Thank you to everyone involved for your transparency and willingness to be involved.
