Thoughtful signal from a fast-moving industry
The Starting Pixel Media output exists to make sense of change.
Rather than chasing headlines or trends, we focus on surfacing useful signals from across virtual production, real-time technology and filmed content — grounded in real practice and informed discussion.
Media is an extension of the community: reflective, practical and intentionally noise-averse.
The Starting Pixel Podcast
Long-form conversations with people shaping how content is made.
The podcast explores:
-
Virtual production and real-time workflows
-
Emerging tools and techniques
-
Creative and technical decision-making
-
Industry structure, culture and economics
Episodes are conversational rather than promotional, designed for producers, creatives and technologists who want context, not hype.
Weekly Round-up
A curated weekly selection of links, videos and references from across the industry.
The round-up typically includes:
-
Shot breakdowns and experiments
-
Technical presentations and papers
-
Workflow demonstrations
-
Research and early-stage ideas
Overt marketing, showreels and sales content are deliberately excluded.
The aim is to save members time while broadening perspective.
Articles and commentary
Occasional longer-form pieces that explore:
-
Emerging patterns and shifts
-
Reflections from events and conversations
-
Community-driven themes and questions
These are written to provoke thought rather than provide definitive answers.
How media and community connect
Media does not exist in isolation.
Podcast episodes, round-ups and articles often:
-
Originate from community discussions
-
Feed back into ongoing conversations
-
Inform event programming and themes
Members are encouraged to suggest topics, share references and contribute ideas.
