Dear @Sciencedirect (Elsevier),
Your new proofing system is an ai dumpster fire.
Sincerely,
Everyone
I am thrilled that Frankenstein has won an Oscar for best production design! It was a pleasure working with my fellow Nova Scotians, Tamara and Shane, to build their Arctic ship!
Frankenstein wins for best production design! It was an extraordinary experience working with Tamara and Shane to build their ship and arctic scenes.
Congratulations to Tamara Deverell and Shane Vieau, winner of the Critics Choice Award for Best Production Design for “Frankenstein.”

Praise from Variety: ‘the “Frankenstein” crew built 360-degree versions of… the ship on which Victor and the creature have their final confrontation.“I want real sets,” del Toro explains. “I don’t want digital….I want old-fashioned craftsmanship”….’
Guillermo del Toro refused to make #Frankenstein with too much visual effects and green screens: "I want real sets."
"I don’t want digital. I don’t want AI. I don’t want simulation. I want old-fashioned craftsmanship. I want people painting, building, hammering, plastering."

For media figures being canceled is a paycheck. For scholars, less so
Anti-intellectualism is the real cancel culture

Today marks 10 years since the location of the #HMSErebus wreck, from the legendary 1845 #FranklinExpedition!⚓ This historic find was made possible through invaluable Inuit oral history, knowledge, and collaboration with #ParksCanada’s Underwater Archaeology Team and partners.
#theterror was just released on @netflix! New fans might be interested to see how hard we worked to make it historically accurate. It was a blast to work with these talented people. buildingterror.blogspot.com/…
