Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th March 2026

10th March, 2026.

 

 

Right, then: I had a late night, last night.

Posting the latest in a series of reviews!

As I think that review — and today’s intro — show, I’m gradually getting the hand of Final Cut Pro: although a better camera may help.

Either way … ?

I’m just grateful that — in today’s introduction video — I manage to use the Magnetic masking effect: to remove the background in a few seconds of video that needed it.

Hopefully?

Both it and the review, do well.

Hmmm … 

Right at the moment, I’m feeling slightly stressed.

As … ?

I have a dentist appointment at 12·30.

So I’d like to get out sharpish.

But … ?

The video version of today’s Teaser is taking a devil of a time to upload and process.

Why … ?

I don’t know.

But it’s a little worrying … !

*        One of these days, Olga, I’ll sit down and watch Escape From New York, again: it’s one hell of a piece: it was a bit of an influence on Gibson’s Neuromancer, I know that.

†        Hello, Mum!   (It was 2023, Mum, rather than 2024!)

‡        I think Romana 1’s the preferred term, Debbi!

        I think our views on movies change over time!
