Meeting a Challenge

Recently, I was asked to put together a demo which showed the many different interview styles we have used over the years. Traditionally you have two ways to do that, the first being a music video. Pick a track and cut together a series of examples of different shooting styles. The second choice is to string together segments from a variety of projects again showing the different shooting and lighting styles. Been there done that.

So I decided to take a less travelled road. We have been marketing ourselves as storytellers for the last 18 years so why not demo that talent as well. I opened the video archives and told Our Story using selected clips from different projects we have produced over the years. Enjoy!

It's About The Story

What we need to remember is that at the end of the day what we do as editors is tell stories. It is our responsibility to connect the client and the target viewer with a clear and focused message, because every story has the power to bring about change. Change to the audience and the world around us. We need to make sure that our clients message is understood, and that the viewer is moved to action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6Enk5l7LUw&feature=channel_page

FCP X

So as the debate still rages over Apples latest version of Final Cut, and editors consider moving to new software, I am reminded of my migration from AVID DS to Final Cut 4 years ago. As those of you familiar with the DS know, I really wasn't able to bring previously produced projects over to my new editing platform. So after I became comfortable with the new software I developed a procedure for saving my projects that would allow me to easily migrate to any new editing system in the future. I created a checklist of all the files I would need to edit the project on any another system. Feel free to copy it and modify it for yourself, it has already saved my a number of times.

Are you ready for adventure? Interested in discovering lost treasure? Prepared to unlock the secrets of a lost civilization? Then grab you bull whip, don your fedora, and climb aboard your keyboard as we set out to discover those gems of insight, thought, humor, and education buried deep within the layers of electronic gossamer which make up the internet. But unlike archiologists of the past we do not have to physically travel the globe digging through ruins to unearth these treasure. They are all here in your laptop. Yet finding the jewels that interest you buried beneath a mountain of data is just as daunting a task. And instead of picks and shovels, we use googles and yahoos.  But as with those diggers of old a keen mind and instinct are still your best tools.  And the treasures of which I speak are blogs.  But let me switch gears here for a moment and explain how I see the internet. I have said in earlier posts that I believe that the internet is the new age of broadcasting, and ...
