I’m looking for an experienced #SoundDesign peep to create a soundtrack for a Film I made for the #IWM Imperial War Museum Duxford. The film was projected onto a huge aircraft hanger, and told the story of the formation of the parachute regiment, & its part in the opening hours of DDay.
It's being rehoused inside the main exhibition, and needs a narrated soundtrack, as well as SFX to accompany the action.

Here's the Film:

How many people use Mastodon as their only social media site. If not, what other sites do you use?

Hi, I’ve been on Mastodon for a while, migrated to mastodon.social today!

Polite reminder, mastodon users with visual impairments went to a lot of trouble getting people to use the alternative text description facility on image uploads. Spending energy over the past 5 years reminding people in the kindest ways to caption images. Please lets not lose that ethos. There are so many photos without alternative text captions now. It isn't difficult to do, and only takes a little effort to develop the habit. #image #Caption

Leonard Cohen looming large over central #Montreal. Johnny Cash looking over central #Sacramento (not far down the road from Folsom Prison). Some folks don’t like these, but I do, for their role in place-making and urban story-telling.

Plus they address a really big, boring blank wall.

results from the world's largest 4-day workweek trial are in: 91% of companies involved will continue with the model. Orgs that are focused on butts in seats and hours clocked, rather than being output-driven, will increasingly find themselves struggling for people and being left behind by competitors. https://www.4dayweek.com/news-posts/4-day-week-uk-results

That said, if you're brand new, it really helps to have an actual person talk with you to get you started. I'm always happy to be that person! Just @ me, and we can set aside some time for a call/chat on Discord or a similar service. It is not an imposition; it is why I set this place up. I want people to have the best experience for themselves and what they want to get out of being here.

I'm going to hashtag posts I make about kind.social moderation as the admin with #KindSocialMod
That should enable better discovery for them long-term. I want to be pretty clear about how I'm approaching things.

I never did do a proper #introduction so ...... allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Wesley.

I live in Dublin, Ireland. I have been a Software Engineer for almost 20 years, more recently as a Eng Manager/Director for the past 5 year or so at #zendesk.

Interested in comedy, food, travel, sport particularly #lufc #mma, politics, education/learning & technology. Tá Gaeilge agam, ach tá sé an-rusty ar fad.

Malcolm X was assassinated 58 years ago today. This remains as one of my favorite pieces of wisdom he shared. And now, they're making it illegal to even claim the knife is there.

"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there." — Malcolm X

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?
