AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

Wellington region's premier annual business celebration

The Dune 2 sounds that they created:
Fremen Language and Sounds: Collaborated with linguist David Peterson to develop the Chakobsa language and background lines for Fremen characters.​
Harkonnen Voices: Designed alien vocalizations, including chants and aggressive tones for arena scenes, using punk and metal vocalists.​
Unique Alien Languages: Crafted sounds for the Bene Gesserit and Sardaukar cultures, ensuring distinct aural identities.​
Crowd Tracks: Recorded loop groups in Wellington for large-scale scenes, layering 70 voices into 70,000.​
Environmental Sounds: Enhanced sand effects and atmospheric noises, blending realism with sci-fi elements.
How did they make these sounds?
The sound team for Dune: Part Two used several innovative techniques to capture the sandworm sounds:
Microphone in mouth: Sound engineer Mark Mangini put a microphone in his mouth and inhaled vigorously to create the sound of a sandworm swallowing a spice harvester.​
Underwater recordings: They used hydrophones (underwater microphones) in Death Valley to record the sound of moving sand.
Layered organic sounds: For the worm's mouth opening, they combined multiple processed human and animal noises.
Natural materials: They recorded creaking tree bark and twisting vines for the worm's movement sounds.
Desert recordings: The team traveled to Death Valley to capture authentic desert sand sounds.
Fake Documentary Realism (FDR): This technique aimed to make the sounds feel organic and acoustic, as if recorded by a documentary crew on Arrakis.
