Sebastian Sylwan has a wealth of experience, having been CTO at Weta Digital, Scanline, and Felix & Paul Studios, as well as Director of Technology at Digital Domain. He's spent his career at the intersection of art and technology, helping world-class teams push the boundaries of visual effects, immersive media, and real-time workflows. In this episode, he reflects on the challenges of innovating in production environments—where the pressure to deliver can often stifle meaningful experimentation—and offers a thoughtful look at how our industry might evolve if we rethink our relationship with technology. We talk about what it means to be truly innovative, how to design systems that scale while still empowering artists, and why creative industries so often fall into patterns of short-term thinking. Sebastian also shares some candid thoughts on how leadership, culture, and communication play a critical role in making or breaking new ideas. If you've ever struggled to bring a great tool or pipeline into a legacy studio, or wondered why some groundbreaking tech never catches on, this episode is for you.

Believe it or not, I did hear a cicada chirping just a few days ago. Must have been a Late-Comer Boy, trying to attract a female. The buzzing sound is made in the Tymbals (on the belly side of the insect). It literally is a quick clicking sound that creates a smooth buzzing. If you hear clapping as well, it will be smacking the wings on the abdomen. Egg-laying is very easy to spot: a characteristic “Herring bone” pattern on twigs with a thickness of a pencil. We're also not far away from the end of the Black Field Crickets' truuu truuuu truuu singing in the evening. The further north you go, the longer you'll hear those quite loud sounds in your lawn. They're male mating calls, attracting females who are laying eggs in soil to hatch next spring (November). Damage: eat a lot of grass from lawn/paddock. Easily attracted to lights, and noisy all night. A fabulous characteristic rasping sound can be heard during the nighttime, starting about 30 minutes after dark: the sound is made by both male and female tree weta. They communicate to keep in touch – Auckland and Wellington tree weta are rather social species. They live in harem-like communities with a dominant (large-headed) male and a couple of mature females, plus some juveniles. They shelter during the day in the same cavity. This is mating season and often you can hear frequent communications. Females lay eggs in soft soil, and young ones emerge in spring. Go outside into the garden with a torch and you'll find them – patience! In the afternoon to early evening, you can often hear a faint “Zzitssss” noise – often impossible to tell where it originates. It's usually a call with an irregular pattern, and it's unmistakable as Katydids. These orthopterans have the ability to “throw their voice” —like ventriloquists— to put off possible predators that may hunt by following the noise to its source. They chew buds of flowers and foliage and can do a bit of cosmetic damage to roses and dahlias in autumn (although Julie tends to disagree with that statement – she moves them on with force!). Generally speaking, the katydids overwinter as eggs and hatch again in springtime as “nymphs”: miniature versions of the adult insect. But I have seen a few of them going right through the winter, snacking of tasty leaves of Mistletoes in the garden. No doubt they shelter from the occasional frosts by staying deep within the host plants LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're told "public media belongs to you," and PBS believes in sharing "the good that we know is in one another." Anyone who watches PBS or listens to NPR knows this isn't true.

We're delighted to bring you another Better Man interview - we're joined by singer Adam Tucker, who provided vocals for Robbie Williams in the film. Adam tells us about the unique way he secured the role and explains why it was necessary to have someone younger sing some of Robbie's vocals, to match the Robbie reflected in the film. He discusses the integration of CGI and the unique experience of blending his singing with Jonno Davies's portrayal of Robbie, before WETA worked their special effects magic to create the finished movie.Adam even shares details of some voice notes he received from Rob of previously unrecorded songs, to help him capture the essence of Robbie. You can follow Adam on Instagram at @theadamtucker, or on TikTok at @_adamtucker.======If there is an advert in this episode details will appear below:============**About Robbie Williams Rewind**Join husband and wife Matt and Lucy, as they rewind through legendary pop star Robbie Williams' solo career.

What do zombies and sheep have in common? We find out in the film called Black Sheep, and no. not the one with David Spade and Chris Farley. This New Zealand indie horror movie has Were-sheep zombies! We repeat Were-sheep zombies! I mean how are those words real. With effects done by Weta this is no Lord of the Rings but does a lot with "Experience". You have to watch it to get the joke. In the news we talk about more VR with a remake of Arizona Sunshine, a new Marvel Zombies comic and Dead Island 2 is getting a co-op horde mode! The post ZAMP 316 – Black Sheep (2006) appeared first on Zombies Ate My Podcast.
