Pro Video Coalition: "The Power of Many"

While I tend to be a pretty conservative editor, the time comes for all of us when we need some flashy effects to grab a viewer. Light blasts, aggressive color effects, blur transitions and the like can be powerful tools when used in the right places. Problem is, few editing applications come with these effects pre-programmed, and the software used to create the eye candy often carries a steep learning… more »

What Does Your Future Hold?

I think Chris Meyer got this one wrong…

Bruce A Johnson | 06/20- 06:12 PM

I really like reading Chris & Trish Meyer’s stuff. I certainly wish I had a list of credits as long as theirs. And they are nice folks to boot. But in my humble opinion, Chris’ post on this page, entitled “A Retro View Of The Future,” misses the mark by a long shot.

I’ve been working with the vendor that provided the gear, it is nice to see what masters of the game (director David Fincher, DoP Claudio Miranda) can do with digital tools when they commit and know EXACTLY what they are doing.

c.) Red Build 16 is imminent, and it is a Big Deal for those tracking Red. Months later than wanted/expected, but major new stuff… more »

A Retro View of the Future
