I recently bought a new (to me) Subaru. It still had the factory stereo and 6 disc in-dash changer. The previous owner was using a tape adapter to hook up his iPod. I don’t really listen to CDs much anymore. I’m about 98% iPhone, so this wasn’t going to work. It actually didn’t sound bad. [...]

Back in May I wrote a post questioning the value of physical media when digital media is so accessible. In the last few months, I’ve experienced a few things that might answer the question. Movies. I’ve spent the last 2 years working on a film called The Art of Flight. I’ve mentioned it a few [...]

In case you’re wondering where I’ve been all summer, check out this teaser. At Brain Farm, we’re all buried in post getting this movie done. I did the color correction on this teaser. Look for The Art of FLIGHT on DVD, Blu-Ray and iTunes Extras download on Sept 8th. For you post production geeks, the [...]

I’ve recorded myself playing guitar a bunch, and the majority of my live performances and rehearsals over the years have been recorded, and I’ve even jammed [...]

The Abyss has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. I’m a huge fan of James Cameron, probably because he’s way more hands-on than most directors. He has no qualms about shooting the camera himself or spending a few days in ProTools mixing. A director doing this kind of work on a [...]
Read MoreI’d like to address a few things that I think get forgotten, especially as the fog clears after NAB. Sony announced the F65, an 8k camera with a Super 35mm-sized sensor. For those keeping score, Sony has confused us even more by naming their new camera F65 because it has 65mm film equivalent resolution (but [...]

So the rumored Final Cut Pro X has been announced. Like everyone else, I have more questions than Apple gave answers. The additions are pretty slick. I personally am a huge fan of long awaited additions like a true open timeline (but this has been a “feature” since FCP4, so is it really open?) and [...]
