And I was obsessed with the idea of what Spider-Man's web would sound like when it's stretched to its tightest limit and he's coming off of a terminal velocity dive. The sound effect was what we were chasing, but in order to hear that sound, you'd need a kind of a weird shot, which would be looking up at the web vibrating. We got the shot with the hopes of finding that sound effect. I'm going to start with with Geo, because I've seen a few of your edits and now I'm really nervous. No, they're they're wonderfully in sync with music and I would say not just music, but rhythm. Can you talk about the relationship between those two things? The editing for me is less about what's visually on screen. This might be a hot take, I don't really think that matters much. Sounds is what makes an edit so good. You will find that sometimes the the visuals dictate the the sound design and sometimes the sound design dictates the visuals. I can't believe I'm sitting next to you, man. This is a blessing. Thanks for this opportunity. Full vlog uploading, follow to see it.
