MOSAIC 006 — Happy Holidays, Ya Filthy Animals

Panasonic's new $499 digicam, RODE's new warranty, FREE SFX, and Matt D'Avella's new podcast.

GOODBYE, 2024.

What a year it’s been. Can you believe we’ll be kicking off the second half of the 20’s next week?

Whether you’re excited for the resolutions ahead, filled with holiday cheer, or wracked with Grinch-like energy, we just wanted to pop in one last time to close out this lap around the sun. These are a few of our favorite things that snuck in before the clock strikes midnight, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Oh, and what kind of holiday newsletter would this be without a little present for you? Scroll to the end to download a free SFX pack, exclusive to Mosaic subscribers. Get inspired and give us a shout if you use them on a project; we’d love to see what you create next year.

Thanks for being here, enjoy 006, and have a happy holiday.

THE RUNDOWN:

2025 is just around the corner, but we’ve scrounged up a few 11th-hour announcements that we think you should know about. Here’s some of our favorite creative industry news to close out the year with.

OFF-SCRIPT

Every now and then, it feels good to get lost down a few rabbit holes. Off-Script is our catch-all for exactly that; a random assortment of objects, products, music, books, tools, and inspiration we’re finding in our day-to-day.

FREE SFX

We couldn’t end the year without a special gift for all you amazing subscribers. If you’re new to Mosaic, this is our community hub for creators. And in today’s age, we know the world of short-form video content is king (like it or not).

So we partnered with a friend of ours, Cody, to build this SFX pack for creators like you.

Here’s what included:

  • 3 Original Instrumental Tracks

  • 10-12 SFX (risers, pads, etc.) - 38 SFX total

  • Each SFX is in a complementary key to one of the tracks, so you can build your own versions of a song, without needed to stress too much on timing.

You can use these for both personal and commercial work—totally free.

But hey, give us a shout or let us know what you think of them!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR*

*Or next week, more like it. We’re so grateful for all of you and really appreciate you reading along with Mosaic. This is just the beginning, and we have a hell of a lot more planned for 2025. But before we wrap up this side of the decade, here’s some motivational advice from our ‘ol pal ChatGPT to inform your upcoming resolutions.

We’ll see you soon.
