A grocers out of a picture book, all jewelled piles of fruit and neatly arranged packages
A furry homunculus on a swing hanging over an alley, no doubt preparing to drop on the unwary, observed by some arboreal totem
A street leading away into a fiery sunset
And so we say farewell once more to Luxembourg, city of contrasts

This new app wants to help prose-loving journalists make the leap into vertical video
Sophiana wants to turn your semicolon-laden story into something your nephew won't swipe past.
We're experimenting with short form video as part of the social media strategy for The Metropolitan, but, as old people we're struggling with the medium, so I'm very interested in this app, designed for generating scripts for short form video from longer pieces of writing.
