Welcome to the Alan Smithee Podcast in which hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the latest news in production, post production, entertainment, tech and beyond. In this, the first episode of the year the gang tackle a few salient subjects like, the increasing technical demands in post-production roles, the intersection of technology and creativity, generational shifts in career aspirations and, how AI might just fuel our creativity in the future. And of course, there’s a bunch of really cool things for us post production people to get excited about.
