The same holds true for those of us who are currently employed in design and development. Having worked on the web for about three years at this point, I’ve seen the typical wax and wane of concepts, strategies, and systems. Every day we as developers and designers get into a routine pattern, a brand-new concept or technology emerges to shake things up and completely alter our planet.

How we got below

I built my first website in the mid-’90s. Design and development on the web back then was a free-for-all, with few established norms. For any layout aside from a single column, we used table elements, often with empty cells containing a single pixel spacer GIF to add empty space. We styled text with numerous font tags, nesting the tags every time we wanted to vary the font style. And we had only three or four typefaces to choose from: Arial, Courier, or Times New Roman. When Verdana and Georgia came out in 1996, we rejoiced because our options had nearly doubled. The only safe colors to choose from were the 216 “web safe” colors known to work across platforms. The few interactive elements (like contact forms, guest books, and counters) were mostly powered by CGI scripts (predominantly written in Perl at the time). Achieving any kind of unique look involved a pile of hacks all the way down. Interaction was often limited to specific pages in a site.

The beginning of website standards

At the turn of the century, a new cycle started. Crufty code littered with table layouts and font tags waned, and a push for web standards waxed. Newer technologies like CSS got more widespread adoption by browsers makers, developers, and designers. This shift toward standards didn’t happen accidentally or overnight. It took active engagement between the W3C and browser vendors and heavy evangelism from folks like the Web Standards Project to build standards. A List Apart and books like Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman played key roles in teaching developers and designers why standards are important, how to implement them, and how to sell them to their organizations. And approaches like progressive enhancement introduced the idea that content should be available for all browsers—with additional enhancements available for more advanced browsers. Meanwhile, sites like the CSS Zen Garden showcased just how powerful and versatile CSS can be when combined with a solid semantic HTML structure.

Server-side language like PHP, Java, and.NET took Perl as the primary back-end computers, and the cgi-bin was tossed in the garbage bin. With these better server-side instruments came the first time of online applications, starting with content-management systems ( especially in the blog space with tools like Blogger, Grey Matter, Movable Type, and WordPress ). AJAX opened the door to sequential connection between the front end and back end in the mid-2000s. Immediately, websites may update their information without needing to refresh. Developers created a crop of credible client-side interactions across browsers with wildly varying standards aid, such as Prototype, YUI, and jQuery. Techniques like picture alternative enable the use of fonts by skilled developers and developers. And technology like Flash made it possible to include movies, sports, and even more engagement.

These new technology, standards, and approaches reinvigorated the market in many ways. As developers and designers explored more diversified styles and designs, website design flourished. However, we also depend on numerous tricks. When it came to basic layout and text styling, early CSS was a significant improvement over table-based layouts, but its limitations at the time meant that designers and developers still relied heavily on images for complex shapes ( such as rounded or angled corners ) and tiled backgrounds for the appearance of full-length columns (among other hacks ). All kinds of nested floats or absolute positioning ( or both ) were necessary for complicated layouts. The big five typefaces were initially influenced by display and photo replacement, but both tricks caused accessibility and performance issues. And JavaScript books made it simple for anyone to add a dash of connection to pages, even at the expense of double, also quadrupling, the get size of basic websites.

The internet as application platform

The balance between the front end and the back end continued to improve, leading to the development of the existing web application time. Between expanded server-side programming languages ( which kept growing to include Ruby, Python, Go, and others ) and newer front-end tools like React, Vue, and Angular, we could build fully capable software on the web. Alongside these equipment came others, including creative type control, build technology, and shared bundle libraries. What was once mainly used for linked papers turned into a world with limitless possibilities.

At the same time, wireless equipment became more ready, and they gave us online access in our wallets. Reliable architecture and mobile apps opened up possibilities for fresh relationships anytime.

The development of social media and other centralized resources for people to connect and use resulted from this blend of potent portable devices and potent development resources. As it became easier and more popular to interact with others immediately on Twitter, Facebook, and yet Slack, the need for held private websites waned. Social media provided connections on a global scale, with both the positive and negative effects.

Want a much more in-depth account of how we came to this, along with some other suggestions for improvement? ” Of Time and the Web” was written by Jeremy Keith. Or check out the” Web Design History Timeline” at the Web Design Museum. A fun tour of” Internet Artifacts” is also available from Neal Agarwal.

Where we are now

In the last couple of years, it’s felt like we’ve begun to reach another major inflection point. As social-media platforms fracture and wane, there’s been a growing interest in owning our own content again. There are many different ways to create a website, from the tried-and-true classic of hosting plain HTML files to static site generators to content management systems of all varieties. Social media fracturing also has a price: we lose essential infrastructure for discovery and connection. Webmentions, RSS, ActivityPub, and other tools of the IndieWeb can help with this, but they’re still relatively underimplemented and hard to use for the less nerdy. Without discovery and connection, it can feel as though we could be shouting into the void when we can create incredible personal websites and continually update them.

Browser support for CSS, JavaScript, and other standards like web components has accelerated, especially through efforts like Interop. In a fraction of the time that they once did, new technologies receive universal support. I frequently find out about a new feature and check its browser support only to discover that its coverage is already over 80 %. Browser support is frequently the only obstacle to using newer techniques today, rather than the time it takes to train and adopt new techniques.

Today, with a few commands and a couple of lines of code, we can prototype almost any idea. With all the tools we currently have, it is simpler than ever to launch a new venture. However, as the initial cost of these frameworks may be saved in the beginning, it eventually becomes due as their upkeep and maintenance becomes a component of our technical debt.

Adopting new standards can sometimes take longer if we rely on third-party frameworks because we might have to wait for those frameworks to adopt those standards. These frameworks—which used to let us adopt new techniques sooner—have now become hindrances instead. Users must wait for scripts to load before being able to read or interact with pages because these same frameworks frequently come with performance costs. And when scripts fail ( whether through poor code, network issues, or other environmental factors ), there’s often no alternative, leaving users with blank or broken pages.

Where do we go from here?

Today’s hacks help to shape tomorrow’s standards. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with embracing hacks —for now—to move the present forward. Problems only arise when we refuse to acknowledge that they are hacks or when we refuse to take their place. What can we do to create the web’s future that we desire?

Build for the long haul. Optimize for performance, for accessibility, and for the user. Weigh the costs of those developer-friendly tools. They may make your job a little easier right now, but how do they affect everything else? What’s the cost to users? To future developers? To standards adoption? The convenience may be worthwhile in some circumstances. Sometimes it’s just a hack that you’ve gotten used to. And occasionally, it prevents you from pursuing better options.

Start from standards. Although standards change over time, browsers have done a remarkably good job of staying current with outdated standards. The same isn’t always true of third-party frameworks. Even the most advanced HTML from the 1990s still function flawlessly today. The same can’t be said about websites created with frameworks even after a few years.

Design with care. Whether your craft is code, pixels, or processes, consider the impacts of each decision. Many modern tools have the convenience of having the ability to always understand the decisions that underlie their creation and to never consider the effects those decisions may have. Use the time saved by modern tools to think more carefully and make decisions with care rather than rushing to “move fast and break things”

Always be learning. If you’re always learning, you’re also growing. Sometimes it may be hard to pinpoint what’s worth learning and what’s just today’s hack. Even if you were to concentrate solely on learning standards, you might end up focusing on something that won’t matter next year. ( Remember XHTML? ) However, ongoing learning opens up new connections in your brain, and the techniques you learn in one day may be used to guide different experiments in the future.

Play, experiment, and be weird! This web that we’ve built is the ultimate experiment. Despite being the single largest human endeavor in history, each of us has the ability to make our own money out of it. Be courageous and try new things. Build a playground for ideas. Create absurd experiments in your own crazy science lab. Start your own small business. There has never been a more empowering place to be creative, take risks, and explore what we’re capable of.

Share and amplify. As you experiment, play, and learn, share what’s worked for you. Write on your own website, post on whichever social media site you prefer, or shout it from a TikTok. Write something for A List Apart! But take the time to amplify others too: find new voices, learn from them, and share what they’ve taught you.

Go forth and make

As designers and developers for the web ( and beyond ), we’re responsible for building the future every day, whether that may take the shape of personal websites, social media tools used by billions, or anything in between. Let’s imbue our values into the things that we create, and let’s make the web a better place for everyone. Create something that you are only qualified to make for yourself. Then share it, make it better, make it again, or make something new. Learn. Make. Share. Grow. Rinse and repeat. Every time you think that you’ve mastered the web, everything will change.

I’d like you to consider this a “yes … and” piece to complement Joe’s post. I’m just trying to contradict what he’s saying, but I’m just trying to give some context to initiatives and opportunities where AI can make a difference for people with disability. To be clear, I’m not saying that there aren’t true threats or pressing problems with AI that need to be addressed—there are, and we’ve needed to address them, like, yesterday—but I want to take a little time to talk about what’s possible in hope that we’ll get there one day.

Other words

Joe’s article spends a lot of time examining how computer vision models can create other words. He raises a number of legitimate points about the state of affairs right now. And while computer-vision concepts continue to improve in the quality and complexity of information in their information, their benefits aren’t wonderful. As he rightly points out, the state of image research is currently very poor, especially for some graphic types, in large part due to the lack of context for which AI systems look at images ( which is a result of having separate “foundation” models for words analysis and picture analysis ). Today’s models aren’t trained to distinguish between images that are contextually relevant ( that should probably have descriptions ) and those that are purely decorative ( which might not need a description ) either. Nonetheless, I still think there’s possible in this area.

As Joe mentions, human-in-the-loop publishing of alt word should definitely be a factor. And if AI can intervene to provide a starting place for alt text, even if the swift might say What is this BS? That’s not correct at all … Let me try to offer a starting point— I think that’s a gain.

If we can specifically station a design to examine image usage in context, this may help us more quickly determine which images are likely to be elegant and which ones are likely to be descriptive. That will clarify which situations require image descriptions, and it will increase authors ‘ effectiveness in making their sites more visible.

The image example provided in the GPT4 announcement provides an interesting opportunity as well, even though complex images like graphs and charts are challenging to describe in any kind of succinct way ( even for humans ). Let’s say you came across a map that merely stated the chart’s name and the type of representation it was:” Pie chart comparing smartphone use to have phone usage in US households making under$ 30, 000 annually.” ( That would be a pretty bad alt text for a chart because it would frequently leave many unanswered questions about the data, but let’s just assume that that was the description in place. ) Imagine a world where people could ask questions about the vivid if their browser knew that the image was a dessert chart ( because an ship model concluded this ).

• Are there more smartphone users than have devices?
• How many more?
• Do you know of any persons who don’t fall under either of these categories?
• How many is that?

Setting aside the realities of large language model ( LLM) hallucinations—where a model just makes up plausible-sounding “facts” —for a moment, the opportunity to learn more about images and data in this way could be revolutionary for blind and low-vision folks as well as for people with various forms of color blindness, cognitive disabilities, and so on. It might also be helpful in education settings to assist those who can see these graphs as they are able to comprehend the information in the charts.

What if you could request your website to make a complicated map simpler? What if you asked it to separate a single line from a collection curve? What if you could request your computer to transform the different lines ‘ colors so they match your color blindness better? What if you asked it to switch shades in favor of habits? Given these resources ‘ chat-based interface and our existing ability to manipulate photos in today’s AI devices, that seems like a chance.

Imagine a specially designed model that could extract the data from that chart and convert it to another format. For example, perhaps it could turn that pie chart ( or better yet, a series of pie charts ) into more accessible ( and useful ) formats, like spreadsheets. That would be amazing!

Matching algorithms

When Safiya Umoja Noble chose to write her book Algorithms of Oppression, she hit the nail on the head. Although her book focused on how search engines can foster racism, I believe it’s equally true that all computer models have the potential to foster conflict, prejudice, and intolerance. We all know that poorly written and maintained algorithms are incredibly harmful, whether it’s Twitter constantly showing you the most recent tweet from a drowsy billionaire, YouTube sending us into a q-hole, or Instagram warping our ideas of what natural bodies look like. A large portion of this is a result of a lack of diversity in the people who design and construct them. When these platforms are built with inclusively baked in, however, there’s real potential for algorithm development to help people with disabilities.

Take Mentra, for example. They serve as a network of employment for people who are neurodivers. They match job seekers with potential employers using an algorithm based on more than 75 data points. On the job-seeker side of things, it considers each candidate’s strengths, their necessary and preferred workplace accommodations, environmental sensitivities, and so on. On the employer side, it considers each work environment, communication factors related to each job, and the like. Mentra made the decision to change the script when it came to traditional employment websites because it was run by neurodivergent people. They lower the emotional and physical labor on the job-seeker side of things by recommending available candidates to companies who can then connect with job seekers that they are interested in.

More people with disabilities can be used to create algorithms, which can lessen the likelihood that they will harm their communities. That’s why diverse teams are so important.

Imagine if a social media company’s recommendation engine was tuned to prioritize follow recommendations for people who discussed topics similar to those that were important but who were different from your current sphere of influence in some fundamental ways. For instance, if you were to follow a group of non-disabled white male academics who talk about AI, it might be advisable to follow those who are disabled, aren’t white, or aren’t men who also talk about AI. If you took its recommendations, perhaps you’d get a more holistic and nuanced understanding of what’s happening in the AI field. These same systems should also use their understanding of biases about particular communities—including, for instance, the disability community—to make sure that they aren’t recommending any of their users follow accounts that perpetuate biases against (or, worse, spewing hate toward ) those groups.

Other ways that AI can helps people with disabilities

If I weren’t attempting to combine this with other tasks, I’m sure I could go on and on, giving various examples of how AI could be used to assist people with disabilities, but I’m going to make this last section into a bit of a lightning round. In no particular order:

Voice preservation. You may have seen the VALL-E paper or Apple’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day announcement or you may be familiar with the voice-preservation offerings from Microsoft, Acapela, or others. It’s possible to train an artificial intelligence model to mimic your voice, which can be incredibly helpful for those who have ALS ( Lou Gehrig’s disease ) or motor-neuron disease or other medical conditions that can make it difficult to talk. This is, of course, the same tech that can also be used to create audio deepfakes, so it’s something that we need to approach responsibly, but the tech has truly transformative potential.
• Voice recognition. Researchers are assisting people with disabilities in the collection of recordings of people with atypical speech, thanks to the assistance of the Speech Accessibility Project. As I type, they are actively recruiting people with Parkinson’s and related conditions, and they have plans to expand this to other conditions as the project progresses. More people with disabilities will be able to use voice assistants, dictation software, and voice-response services, as well as to use only their voices to control computers and other devices, according to this research.
• Text transformation. The most recent generation of LLMs is capable of altering already-existing text without giving off hallucinations. This is incredibly empowering for those who have cognitive disabilities and who may benefit from text summaries, simplified versions, or even text that has been prepared for Bionic Reading.

the significance of various teams and data

We must acknowledge that our differences matter. The intersections of the identities we live in have an impact on our lived experiences. These lived experiences—with all their complexities ( and joys and pain ) —are valuable inputs to the software, services, and societies that we shape. The data we use to train new models must be based on our differences, and those who provide it to us need to be compensated for doing so. Inclusive data sets produce stronger models that promote more justifiable outcomes.

Want a model that doesn’t demean or patronize or objectify people with disabilities? Make sure that you include information about disabilities that has been written by people with a variety of disabilities in the training data.

Want a model that doesn’t use ableist language? You might be able to use already-existing data sets to create a filter that can read and interpret ableist language before it is read. That being said, when it comes to sensitivity reading, AI models won’t be replacing human copy editors anytime soon.

Want a copilot for coding that provides recommendations that are accessible after the jump? Train it on code that you know to be accessible.

I have no doubt that AI can and will harm people … today, tomorrow, and well into the future. But I also believe that we can acknowledge that and, with an eye towards accessibility ( and, more broadly, inclusion ), make thoughtful, considerate, and intentional changes in our approaches to AI that will reduce harm over time as well. Today, tomorrow, and well into the future.

I am a artistic. What I do is alchemy. It is a puzzle. I don’t perform it as much as I let it be done by me.

I am a artistic. Certainly all creative people approve of this brand. No everyone see themselves in this manner. Some innovative individuals incorporate technology into their work. That is their reality, and I respect it. Sometimes I even envy them, a minor. But my approach is different—my becoming is unique.

Apologizing and qualifying in progress is a diversion. My brain uses that to destroy me. I’ll leave it alone for today. I may come back later to make amends and define. After I’ve said what I originally said. Which is challenging enough.

Except when it is simple and flows like a beverage valley.

Sometimes it does. Maybe what I need to make arrives right away. I’ve learned to avoid saying it right away because they think you don’t work hard enough when you realize that sometimes the thought just comes along and it is the best plan and you know it is the best idea.

Maybe I just work until the thought strikes me. Maybe it arrives right away and I don’t remind people for three weeks. Sometimes I get so excited about something that just happened that I blurt it out and didn’t stop myself. like a child who discovered a medal in one of his Cracker Jacks. Maybe I get away with this. Maybe other people agree: yes, that is the best plan. Most times they don’t and I regret having given way to passion.

Passion should only be saved for the meet, when it matters. Certainly the informal get-together that comes before that meet with two more meetings. Anyone knows why we have all these discussions. We keep saying we’re going to get rid of them, but we just keep trying to find different ways to get them. They occasionally yet excel. But occasionally they are a hindrance to the actual job. The percentages between when conferences are important, and when they are a sad distraction, vary, depending on what you do and where you do it. And who you are and how you go about doing it. Suddenly I digress. I am a innovative. That is the style.

Sometimes, despite many hours of diligent effort, someone is hardly useful. Often I have to accept that and move on to the next task.

Don’t question about approach. I am a artistic.

I am a innovative. I don’t handle my desires. And I don’t handle my best tips.

I can nail apart, surround myself with information or photos, and maybe that works. I can go for a walk, and occasionally that functions. There is a Eureka, which has nothing to do with boiling pots and sizzling petrol, and I may be making dinner. I frequently know what to do when I awaken. The idea that may have saved me disappears almost as frequently as I become aware and a part of the world once more as a senseless wind of oblivion. For imagination, I believe, comes from that other world. The one we enter in aspirations, and possibly, before conception and after death. But that’s for writers to know, and I am not a writer. I am a artistic. Theologians should circulate large armies throughout their artistic globe, which they claim to be true. But that is another diversion. And a miserable one. Whether or not I am innovative or not, this may be on a much larger issue. But that’s also a step backwards from what I’m trying to say.

Often the process is evasion. And horror. You know the cliché about the abused designer? It’s true, even when the artist ( and let’s put that noun in quotes ) is trying to write a soft drink jingle, a callback in a tired sitcom, a budget request.

Some individuals who detest being called artistic perhaps been closeted artists, but that’s between them and their gods. No offence meant. Your reality is correct, too. My needs are own, though.

Creatives understand creatives.

Disadvantages are aware of cons, just like queers are aware of queers, just like real rappers are aware of actual rappers are aware of cons. Creatives feel enormous regard for creatives. We love, respect, emulate, and nearly deify the excellent ones. To revere any man is, of course, a horrible mistake. We have been warned. We know much. We know people are simply people. They dispute, they are depressed, they regret their most critical decisions, they are weak and thirsty, they can be cruel, they can be just as terrible as we can, if, like us, they are clay. But. But. However, they produce this incredible issue. They give birth to something that may not exist before them and couldn’t exist without. They are thought’s founders. And I suppose, since it’s only lying it, I have to put that they are the mother of technology. Ba ho backside! Okay, that’s done. Continue.

Creatives belittle our personal small successes, because we compare them to those of the wonderful people. Wonderful graphics! Also, I‘m no Miyazaki. Now THAT is glory. That is brilliance directly from God’s heart. This half-starved small item that I made? It essentially fell off the turnip truck’s again. And the carrots weren’t actually new.

Creatives knows that, at best, they are Salieri. Also Mozart’s original artists believe that.

I am a innovative. I haven’t worked in advertising in 30 years, but in my hallucinations, it’s my previous artistic managers who judge me. And they are correct to do so. I am very lazy, overly simplistic, and when it actually counts, my mind goes blank. There is no supplement for artistic function.

I am a innovative. Every experience I create has the potential to make Indiana Jones look older while snoring in a deck head. The more I pursue my creative endeavors, the faster I progress in my work, and the more I slog through loops and gaze blankly before beginning that task.

I can move ten times more quickly than those who aren’t innovative, those who have just been creative for a short while, and those who have just had a short time of creative work. Only that I spend twice as long as they do putting the job away before I work ten times as quickly as they do. When I put my mind to it, I am so confident in my ability to do a wonderful career. I am that attached to the excitement rush of delay. The leap also terrifies me.

I am not an actor.

I am a artistic. Not an actor. Though I dreamed, as a child, of eventually being that. Some of us criticize our abilities and like our own accomplishments because we are not Michelangelos and Warhols. That is narcissism—but at least we aren’t in elections.

I am a artistic. Though I believe in reason and science, I decide by intelligence and desire. And sit with what follows—the disasters as well as the successes.

I am a artistic. Every term I’ve said these may offend another artists, who see things differently. Ask two artists a problem, get three ideas. Our dispute, our love about it, and our responsibility to our own reality are, at least to me, the facts that we are artists, no matter how we may think about it.

I am a artistic. I lament my lack of taste in almost all of the areas of human understanding that I know very little about. And I trust my preference above all other items in the regions closest to my soul, or perhaps, more precisely, to my passions. Without my passions, I had probably have to spend time staring living in the eye, which almost none of us can do for very long. No seriously. No really. Because many in existence, if you really look at it, is intolerable.

I am a innovative. I believe, as a family believes, that when I am gone, some little good part of me will take on in the head of at least one other people.

Working frees me from worrying about my job.

I am a innovative. I fear that my little product will disappear.

I am a artistic. I spend way too much time making the next thing, given that almost nothing I create did achieve the level of brilliance I conceive of.

I am a innovative. I think that method is the greatest mystery. I think I have to consider it so strongly that I actually made the foolish decision to publish an essay I wrote without having to go through or edit. I didn’t do this generally, I promise. But I did it right away because I was even more scared of forgetting what I was saying because I was as scared as I might be of you seeing through my sad gestures toward the gorgeous.

There. I think I’ve said it.

Often, it is only gesture when the recipient of a significant award declares,” Are thus surprised to be here,” while accepting the award. Sean Baker accepted the Best Picture award at the 30th yearly Critics Choice Awards Friday evening, and that attitude still seemed true. Consider that just moments beforehand, his]… ]

The article Anora Immediately Looks Like the Best Photo Frontrunner at Oscars 2025 first appeared on Den of Geek.

The pop lifestyle calendar is n&#8217, t simply hurting for interesting festivals, conventions, and trips. There are a number of acronymic events that Den of Geek and other outlets have made a habit of covering over the years, including San Diego Comic-Con ( SDCC), New York Comic Con ( NYCC), South by Southwest ( SXSW), and Toronto International Film Festival ( TIFF). One issue many of these drawbacks have in common, however, is that they &#8217, re no located in Hollywood. And by &#8220, Hollywood, &#8221, of training, we mean &#8220, Atlanta, Georgia. &#8221,

Blessed with a moderate climate, thriving business, and local governments that are sensitive to filming income breaks, the Peach State&#8217, s capital area has become a big production center for film and television. Atlanta has significantly supplanted other big names like Marvel and Netflix in recent years, making it the long-awaited house for Turner productions like TNT, TBS, and Adult Swim. And in order to capitalize on the increased Hollywood presence, significant festivals are beginning to enter as well.

SCAD TVfest, which is hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD ) &#8217, s Atlanta campus, has been bringing together people in the TV industry for more than a decade. People from Agatha All Along director Jac Schaeffer to Shgun&#8216, Hiroyuki Sanada to The Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things of course, from this year’s model. Den of Geek was present throughout, scurrying around sections and red carpets to learn about the makers of our favorite displays.

Agatha All Along

Patti LuPone, the star of Agatha All Along, has already said everything that needs to be said about the possibility of a subsequent year. It&#8217, s no happening, people! Fortunately, Agatha and WandaVision father Jac Schaeffer was still at the table to talk to us about her two favorite Marvel displays, which are currently best described as occupying the &#8220, Ralph Bohner-verse. &#8221,

&#8220, It was my private mission to find Ralph Bohner up on the game, &#8221, Schaeffer said. &#8220, I was like’ I’m not doing the present unless Evan Peters is in his truck. &#8217,”

The Agatha and WandaVision writer went on to discuss her favorite Kathryn Hahn time, working with the Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez on &#8220, The Ballad of The Witches &#8217, Road, &#8221, and her enthusiasm for the upcoming Vision Quest line.

Shogun

Hiroyuki Sanada, a renowned Japanese actor and producer, was present at SCAD TVfest to get a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. However, he made a first-time appearance on the red carpet to share some information about the highly anticipated but unanticipated next year of FX classic Shgun.

” We used the whole tale part now. So we have no book in the time two, but we have actual background and models,” Sanada said”. We know what happened in the background. But you keep that taste of season one but we’re going to create unique entertainment, imaginary entertainment, not just the history book.”

St. Denis Medical

Even at a festival dedicated to celebrating the best of broadcast, there&#8217, s a certain level of confusion as to what a &#8220, Television show &#8221, actually is. Test out this statement from the Den of Geek email that states that no one knows whether or not Shgun is a TV show. There&#8217, s no distress when it comes to NBC show St. Denis Medical, yet. The Breakthrough Cast Award winner at SCAD TVfest is clearly a television program, and this well-received doctor mockumentary is no exception.

&#8220, I grew up in Korea and I learned vernacular English watching Friends. The sitcom on NBC is undoubtedly recognizable. It feels crazy]to be a part of this], &#8221, Serena artist Kahyun Kim said.

Stranger Things

An hour section and testing with Stranger Things developers and Variety Showrunner Award winners Matt and Ross Duffer were the main highlights of SCAD TVfest Day One on February 5. The Duffers made the experience worth everyone&#8217, while offering insightful insights about the TV industry and some time 5 teases. The crowd at the SCADshow drama was noticeably disappointed to learn that the screen was merely of a previously-released period 4 show ( and not unseen images from the upcoming fifth and final period ).

One of the season 5 revelations was that the Duffers are confident that the show &#8217, swansong will debut in 2025 as originally planned, and that VFX and editing work is on time. Additionally, they clarified that any Stranger Things spinoffs would not feature existing characters, scuttling the fans &#8217, dreams of a Steve and Dustin buddy comedy.

Additionally, The Duffers” stood down” expectations for roles in a well-established franchise like Star Wars or Marvel. If we have any chips we can cash in from Stranger Things it should be something original, &#8221, Matt Duffer said, before adding: &#8220, And if that’s a total dud we’ll do IP. ” &nbsp,

Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances

As you can probably tell from its lengthy, almost Fall Out Boy song c. 2005-esque title, Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances is an Adult Swim joint.

Cobra Kai

The Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai is set to ride off into the sunset with its final batch of episodes premiering on February 13 on Netflix after six seasons of wholesome martial arts mayhem. It&#8217, s been quite the journey for the YouTube Red survivor and its creators ( Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald ) and some of its cast ( Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Jacob Bertrand ) stopped by the SCAD TVfest red carpet to discuss it all, including whether any crucial Karate Kid characters never made it into Cobra Kai&#8217, s six seasons.

&#8220, We always tried to tell a modern story and if there was a fun, organic way to bring the original characters back, we did it that way, &#8221, Hurwitz said. &#8220, But believe me, we know every single actor that we didn&#8217, t get, and it &#8217, s either because there was n&#8217, t the right story for them or they &#8217, re just not in acting mode anymore. &#8221,

The Recruit season 2 and The Recruit season 2 were both headlined by the To All The Boys trilogy star, who also made a surprise appearance in XO, Kitty season 2. The South Korea filming location for both projects may have been more than a coincidence, Centineo told Den of Geek.

&#8220, You &#8217, d have to ask Netflix, &#8221, Centineo joked. &#8220, I think maybe it was by design on their end or it was just a really happy coincidence.

SCAD Presents: Lodged

The SCAD Atlanta campus itself and the involvement of many of the college’s students are two particularly endearing aspects of SCAD TVfest. Aspiring filmmakers, performers, and artisans not only work many of the panels, junkets, and events, but occasionally get to highlight their own work. One such example is the SCAD-created sitcom Lodged. A young entrepreneur attempts to turn the space into a swank resort in the Aspen ski lodge in the series. It&#8217, s a real-ass TV show. But it &#8217, s also a learning opportunity for its cast and crew.

&#8220, Sitcom is a good blend of theater and film. And for me personally ,]Lodged ] came at a perfect time where I had gone my whole life basically doing theater, and now in the last couple years, I&#8217, m transitioning to film and television. This bridges the gap, &#8221, Drake Aasen said.

&#8220, SCAD just offers such a variety of opportunities &#8211, from improv clubs to sitcoms to short films to plays to everything. We actually have time to work together and collaborate on projects because they offer three-day weekends. &#8221, Jocelyn Shelfo said.

Atlanta has significantly supplanted another big batsmen like Marvel and Netflix in recent years, now the long-standing house of Turner productions like TNT, TBS, and Adult Swim. And in order to capitalize on the increased Hollywood presence, main festivals are beginning to enter as well.

Den of Geek was present throughout the entire experience, scurrying around red carpets and modules to learn from the creators behind our beloved shows.

Agatha All Along

Patti LuPone, the legend of Agatha All Along, has already said everything that needs to be said about the possibility of a subsequent season. It&#8217, s no happening, people! Fortunately, Agatha and WandaVision father Jac Schaeffer was still at the table to talk with us about her two favorite Marvel displays, which are currently best described as occupying the &#8220, Ralph Bohner-verse. &#8221,

&#8220, It was my personal goal to find Ralph Bohner up on the game, &#8221, Schaeffer said. &#8220, I was like’ I’m not doing the present unless Evan Peters is in his truck. &#8217,”

Shogun

Hiroyuki Sanada, a renowned Chinese actor and producer, was present at SCAD TVfest to take home a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. He then stopped by the red carpet to reveal some facts about the highly anticipated but unanticipated next year of FX classic Shgun.

” We used the whole book part now. So we have no book in the time two, but we have actual background and models,” Sanada said”. We know what happened in the past. But you keep that taste of season one but we’re going to create unique entertainment, imaginary entertainment, not just the history book.”

St. Denis Medical

Even at a festival dedicated to celebrating the best of broadcast, there&#8217, s a certain level of confusion as to what a &#8220, Television show &#8221, actually is. Test out this release from the Den of Geek publication where an attendee is unsure whether or not the preceding Shgun is a TV show. There&#8217, s no distress when it comes to NBC show St. Denis Medical, yet. This well-liked medical movie is clearly a tv system, and it did well to win the Breakthrough Cast Award at SCAD TVfest.

One of the season 5 revelations was that the Duffers are confident that the show &#8217, swansong will debut in 2025 as originally planned, and that VFX and editing work is on time. Additionally, they clarified that any Stranger Things spinoffs would not feature existing characters, scuttling the fans &#8217, dreams of a Steve and Dustin buddy comedy.

The Duffers also “killed” the chances of working for a company with a history like Star Wars or Marvel. If we have any chips we can cash in from Stranger Things it should be something original, &#8221, Matt Duffer said, before adding: &#8220, And if that’s a total dud we’ll do IP. ” &nbsp,

Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances

As you can probably tell from its lengthy, almost Fall Out Boy song c. 2005-esque title, Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances is an Adult Swim joint. Created by indie comic figure Adele “Supreme” Williams, Oh My God…Yes! etc. etc. follows “the misadventures of three best friends as they navigate womanhood” in a near-future South Central L.A. Though the show has the usual Adult Swim aesthetic down pat, it’s also, unbelievably, the network’s first series to feature a Black woman protagonist.

&#8220, It&#8217, s an honor, &#8221, Williams told Den of Geek of her show &#8217, s unlikely place in cable history. &#8220, But I&#8217, d be lying if I said there was n&#8217, t an immense amount of pressure. And if I can be even more vulnerable: it &#8217, s a little scary. You have a rough idea of how the audience will respond to the piece of art. &#8221,

Williams is eager to see how far that knowledge can advance.

&#8220, There are so many characters that show up in this season that could have their own entire episode, &#8221, Williams said. What I love most about the [fellow adult swim series ] Smiling Friends are all these arbitrary and tertiary characters they introduce into the world, and as the story progresses they subvert your expectations.

Cobra Kai

The Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai will end its six-season run of mayhem with its final few episodes set to air on Netflix on February 13.

&#8220, We always tried to tell a modern story and if there was a fun, organic way to bring the original characters back, we did it that way, &#8221, Hurwitz said. &#8220, But believe me, we know every single actor that we didn&#8217, t get, and it &#8217, s either because there was n&#8217, t the right story for them or they &#8217, re just not in acting mode anymore. &#8221,

SCAD Presents: Lodged

The SCAD Atlanta campus itself and the involvement of many of the college’s students are two particularly endearing aspects of SCAD TVfest. Aspiring filmmakers, performers, and artisans not only work many of the panels, junkets, and events, but occasionally get to highlight their own work. One such example is the SCAD-created sitcom Lodged. The series, which is set inside an Aspen ski lodge, follows a young entrepreneur trying to make the area a glamorous resort. It&#8217, s a real-ass TV show. But it &#8217, s also a learning opportunity for its cast and crew.

&#8220, Sitcom is a good blend of theater and film. And for me personally ,]Lodged ] came at a perfect time where I had gone my whole life basically doing theater, and now in the last couple years, I&#8217, m transitioning to film and television. This bridges the gap, &#8221, Drake Aasen said.

However, he made a first-time appearance on the red carpet to discuss some information about the highly anticipated but unanticipated next season of FX classic Shgun.

” We used the whole tale part now. So we have no book in the time two, but we have actual background and models,” Sanada said”. We know what happened in the past. But you keep that taste of season one but we’re going to create unique entertainment, imaginary entertainment, not just the history book.”

St. Denis Medical

Even at a festival dedicated to celebrating the best of broadcast, there&#8217, s a certain level of confusion as to what a &#8220, Television show &#8221, actually is. Test out this release from the Den of Geek publication where an attendee is unsure whether or not the preceding Shgun is a TV show. There&#8217, s no uncertainty when it comes to NBC sitcom St. Denis Medical, yet. The Breakthrough Cast Award winner at SCAD TVfest is clearly a television program, and this well-received doctor mockumentary is no exception.

&#8220, I grew up in Korea and I learned vernacular English watching Friends. The funny on NBC is undoubtedly recognizable. It feels crazy]to be a part of this], &#8221, Serena celebrity Kahyun Kim said.

Stranger Things

An hour panel discussion and testing with Stranger Points developers and Variety Showrunner Award winners Matt and Ross Duffer on February 5 was SCAD TVfest Day One’s main event. The Duffers made the experience for everyone, while providing insightful insights about the TV business and some time 5 teases, despite the fact that the SCADshow theater’s crowd was noticeably depressed to learn that the testing was merely of a previously-released season 4 episode ( and not unknown footage from the future fifth and final season ).

Season 5 revealed that the Duffers are confident that the show &#8217, swansong will premiere in 2025 as originally planned, and that VFX and editing work is on time. Additionally, they clarified that any Stranger Things spinoffs would not feature existing characters, scuttling the fans &#8217, dreams of a Steve and Dustin buddy comedy.

The Duffers also “killed” the chances of working for a company with a history like Star Wars or Marvel. If we have any chips we can cash in from Stranger Things it should be something original, &#8221, Matt Duffer said, before adding: &#8220, And if that’s a total dud we’ll do IP. ” &nbsp,

Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances

As you can probably tell from its lengthy, almost Fall Out Boy song c. 2005-esque title, Oh My God &#8230, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances is an Adult Swim joint. Created by indie comic figure Adele “Supreme” Williams, Oh My God…Yes! etc. etc. follows “the misadventures of three best friends as they navigate womanhood” in a near-future South Central L.A. Though the show has the usual Adult Swim aesthetic down pat, it’s also, unbelievably, the network’s first series to feature a Black woman protagonist.

&#8220, It&#8217, s an honor, &#8221, Williams told Den of Geek of her show &#8217, s unlikely place in cable history. &#8220, But I&#8217, d be lying if I said there was n&#8217, t an immense amount of pressure. And if I can be even more vulnerable: it &#8217, s a little scary. You have a rough idea of how the audience will respond to the piece of art. &#8221,

Williams is eager to see how far that experience can advance.

&#8220, There are so many characters that show up in this season that could have their own entire episode, &#8221, Williams said. What I like most about the [fellow adult swim series ] Smiling Friends are all these arbitrary and secondary characters that they introduce, and as the story progresses they defy your expectations. I love the show. And I see] Oh My God…Yes ] as going on for a few more seasons. Fingers crossed, I’m sure. &#8221,

Cobra Kai

The Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai will end its six-season run of mayhem with its final few episodes set to air on Netflix on February 13. It&#8217, s been quite the journey for the YouTube Red survivor and its creators ( Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald ) and some of its cast ( Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Jacob Bertrand ) stopped by the SCAD TVfest red carpet to discuss it all, including whether any crucial Karate Kid characters never made it into Cobra Kai&#8217, s six seasons.

&#8220, We always tried to tell a modern story and if there was a fun, organic way to bring the original characters back, we did it that way, &#8221, Hurwitz said. &#8220, But believe me, we know every single actor that we didn&#8217, t get, and it &#8217, s either because there was n&#8217, t the right story for them or they &#8217, re just not in acting mode anymore. &#8221,

The Recruit

2025 has been quite the year for Noah Centineo&#8230, and we&#8217, re not even through February yet. The Recruit season 2 and The Recruit season 2 were both headlined by the To All The Boys trilogy star, who also made a surprise appearance in XO, Kitty season 2. The South Korea filming location for both projects may have been more than a coincidence, Centineo told Den of Geek.

&#8220, You &#8217, d have to ask Netflix, &#8221, Centineo joked. &#8220, I think maybe it was by design on their end or it was just a really happy coincidence. The team over at Netflix and ACE]Entertainment ] realized I was going to be over there for The Recruit. They hey hit me up and I said &#8216, Of course, I would love to. ‘ &#8221,

Fresh off winning SCAD&#8217, s Distinguished Performer Award, Centineo is gearing up for another season of The Recruit. &#8220, I have no idea what &#8217, s gonna happen in season three. The only thing I know is that it needs to blow out season two and season one. &#8221,

SCAD Presents: Lodged

The involvement of many of the college’s students is a particularly endearing feature of SCAD TVfest, SCAD Atlanta itself, and. Aspiring filmmakers, performers, and artisans not only work many of the panels, junkets, and events, but occasionally get to highlight their own work. One such example is the SCAD-created sitcom Lodged. A young entrepreneur attempts to turn the space into a swank resort in the Aspen ski lodge in the series. It&#8217, s a real-ass TV show. But it &#8217, s also a learning opportunity for its cast and crew.

&#8220, Sitcom is a good blend of theater and film. And for me personally ,]Lodged ] came at a perfect time where I had gone my whole life basically doing theater, and now in the last couple years, I&#8217, m transitioning to film and television. This bridges the gap, &#8221, Drake Aasen said.

&#8220, SCAD just offers such a variety of opportunities &#8211, from improv clubs to sitcoms to short films to plays to everything. We actually have time to work together and collaborate on projects because they offer three-day weekends. &#8221, Jocelyn Shelfo said.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

At 16 years old, Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Walker Scobell is n&#8217, t quite old enough to even be a SCAD student yet but that didn&#8217, t stop him from receiving TVfest&#8217, s Rising Star Award. Scott spoke with Den of Geek about the Percy Jackson season 2 moment he’s most looking forward to seeing.

&#8220, What we did in episode four with Charybdis&nbsp, and&nbsp, Scylla, &#8221, he said. &#8220, I don&#8217, t want to spoil anything but this is probably the biggest]episode]. It&#8217, s its own movie to be honest. That was the first table read we did where we hadn&#8217, t read it beforehand. They wanted us to experience it for the first time with them. &#8221,
