Introducing myself! 👋
Hey E-Learning Heroes!
Some of you may have seen me lurking around this community over the last month or so, but I wanted to formally introduce myself.
My name is Noele Flowers, and I just join...
So nice to meet you, thanks for the warm welcome! Working at Dolby and having the background you have, I'll BET you have a bunch of great recs. I like all kinds of movies, but in the last couple of months here are a few I've really enjoyed:
- Just rewatched a favorite, "Tampopo" this week
- I know it's cliche, but I watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the first time recently and was totally blown away
- I really enjoyed "Didi" that just came out this year!
Enjoying checking out the library of courses you shared, too—do you work with a team to create those or are you the primary one developing and building those?
I work with a (very small) team of SMEs who support the Dolby tools/software used by content creators to create those courses. It's a highly-collaborative global effort.
Quick thoughts based off of your movie list -
- "Didi" (which I have been meaning to see) makes me think you might like "Slacker" by Richard Linklater. It's a bit of a late-GenX time capsule at this point, but a classic one. Follow it up with "Dazed and Confused" for the 70's...
- "Tampopo" leads me to both of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns ("A Fistful of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More", "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly"), which "Tampopo" satirizes, but also the fantastic "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"...
- And if you liked "2001" - Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" is probably my best modern suggestion to follow it up. Plus, the first 5 minutes are a serious test if you have a home theater setup with subwoofer. Another classic in the genre is Tarkovsky's "Solaris".
Incredible catered recs, Kevin—thank you!
Excited to see more about what you're building here :)
