@shayman Yes! Wrong! When I would travel to international sporting events (spent a bunch of time in the pro beach & indoor volleyball world) there were STRICT rules from the International Federations for which versions of anthems could be played during medal presentations. This included an approved list of shortened tracks for countries who have really long anthems. I wonder if we are now stuck with this (wrong) version now because of the IOC and the IFs licensing.
@billkiani My favourite reaction after showing someone one of my apps is “This is going to save me so much time!”
Does anyone have a great iOS app for the #olympics ? Preferably one that isn’t plastered with ads and is actually nice to use?
Winter Games 2026 is nice, but has so many ads. I’d pay to remove them but there isn’t an option.
The official Olympics app has an awful user experience.
@paul I manage a bunch of Macs including some that live in racks. I’d love a solution for this built into the rack enclosure. Not having an IPMI-like option + a FileVault enabled Mac is a pain for remote management at scale.
On set I spoke with the cinematographer for this episode, Zoe White. She mentioned how she really wanted to match as much as possible to the lighting from the original shot, particularly out the window and through the curtains. I just ended up stealing those parts of the frame from the original plate and reusing them. The camera department perfectly matched the dolly move from the original shoot which made it easy.
🧵 The End
Q: What did we do?
A: Rebuilt an exact replica of the hospital set on one of the stages and put a green screen out the window. Recast a new baby and reshot those shots. I was brought onset for the reshoot because I was going to be comping the shots. A previous shot with Aunt Lydia passing in front of frame was turned into a transition shot between our original shoot and reshoot on the replica set. We had the original dailies as reference for framing & timing and Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia) nailed it.

Q: Can you adjust the original baby to make it look more sick or replace it with a CG baby?
A: The actor was holding and interacting with a moving baby of a certain size, putting a smaller baby in her arms would mean we’d need to adjust Janine’s arms & body as well. Baby and Momma digi doubles were too expensive and time consuming.

Q: Why not recast the baby and reshoot?
A: Months had passed and not only was the hospital location no longer available but it was a different season outside. The swirling snow wouldn’t be there and the bare trees now have leaves.

Here’s a frame from one of my favourite shots to work on that hits many of the reasons @tvaziri wrote about.
S02E08 of The Handmaid’s Tale.
In the story, the baby was supposed to be sick and malnourished, but the baby that was originally cast was quite jolly and looked well fed.
