Welcome on back! You may notice that we took a bit of a hiatus there for a bit. So first of all thanks for continuing to subscribe and listen to us.
What do you do when you're dealing with sensitive material at your work?
Have you ever been concerned that you're working on could offend your audience?
Should you play it safe and avoid offending your audience or is a little controversy going to benefit your project?
In this episode Josh and I talk about how to tread lightly when dealing with potentially volatile material in your work, and how it might affect any of your creative decisions.
Nick works on horror features so from his point of view a little bit of controversial material can sometimes equal "bad press". Shock value is highly sought after from horror directors when it comes to excessive gore, nudity or remarks. But how far is too far?
Josh having worked on a number of corporate/commercial videos that represent big businesses knows all too well the concern of representing a brand faithfully without sending any offensive images or messages.
This year has seen its share of controversy, especially in pop culture. Hollywood seems to offend people regularly with its advertising material:

Here's something you never think about until it's biting you in the tookus: creating your end credits.
Every movie needs 'em, so does yours. So why leave them as the last step before completing your film and let them look like garbage?
Enter Endcrawl, the online service that saves your time by making your credits for you.
And today we are talking with Pliny Eremic and Alan Grow, the co-founders of this service, about how it solves a problem so many films have struggled with in the past.
Credits are tedious, suck your time away and they are never...EVER...finished. There always seems to be one last change to make to them: a name missing, a mispelled credit, someone credited with the wrong job, someone to thank at the end...ad infinitum! Endcrawl solves the problem by allowing you easily make changes to your credit crawl and then it will send you a fresh, new render of it for you to drag 'n drop into your timeline.
Nick has experimented with the beta version of this service in his recent features and it IS as smooth an operation as it sounds.
It also fixes the technical issues that come with creating your own credits through Premiere, After Effects or Photoshop. Ever played your film on a big screen? Notice that ugly jitter or shudder as your credits scroll up? There's a reason for that. And Endcrawl can promise that it won't happen with yours.
And if that doesn't convince you...it's FREE to sign up and get started! Endcrawl is looking for beta users and will gladly let you jump in with your production and start making your crawl. (1K renders are free for you to preview it or as a placeholder, 2K renders belong to a pricing tier).
Check out our interview with these two gentlemen and sign up for Endcrawl for your production.
And Pliny would be pained if I didn't link to his article/rant 2k is not 2048x1152. Wait for me to trigger him on that one at the end of the episode.
