Gotta start somewhere. Where did you start out?

You are correct. LTO is probably the most common professional archiving output (my studio does it). For my own personal projects and uses, I do a Media Manage in FCP and back that up to two different hard drives. That actually saved my ass because I went back and performed some color treatments...

This thread is geared mostly toward post people, but I'm sure it can apply to anyone in the industry. I moved from LA to NYC and have been becoming more familiar with holds (first holds, second holds). I'd like to hear some input on how you handle your freelance schedules, and what to do in...

Export your final cut in 1920x1080, Quicktime (Apple ProRes 422 if from FCP) and back that up on a data disc and/or drive. Hide it in your closet.

While in film school in Florida, a rich kid in my class paid for flights and hotels for our documentary group project to fly to California to shoot a short doc on movie flops. We went to a huge advertising agency to interview the creative director of lots of billboard and poster ads for big...

Absolutely not! It's awful, which is why I put tons of music to this! Hah!

Totally worth $25! Man, this is equivalent to having to learn 50% of the Spanish language in just a few days. Thankfully, they pushed it to this weekend. I hope there are some tips in digitizing footage, creating stringouts for clients, etc. Shit we actually use in the industry, and not home...

Hey all, Oh man, it's been almost four years since I graduated film school where I was lectured on Avid for a solid two months, and I forgot just about everything. Between then and now, I've opened MC four times to try and learn it, but I just get so frustrated; I could never grasp it. I was...

I took the Taglit Birthright Israel trip in August and picked up a Go Pro to document the journey. I was able to capture some great stuff and put it all together in an entertaining, organized mini doc. Would love to hear your thoughts! :D 99% shot on Go Pro Hero 2, 1% Samsung Galaxy S II...

Ha, let me know if you need help with anything, Steve! He said motion capture, but it's actually "motion control". It's where the camera is rigged to a computer and machine that performs the exact dolly/camera movement motion twice - each with different things going on in the shots. And yes...

Take a look at this: https://vimeo.com/49433912 Since 2009, I've found love in crossing the genres of documentary and music video together as a fun, few minutes video production. Since I was a kid, I lived for seeing behind the scenes of just about anything on TV, especially from HBO's First...

Side by Side is an excellent film that compares and contrasts the two: www.sidebysidethemovie.com

Wow, these are all great ideas. Maybe an RC car underneath a garbage can painted metallic silver. The camel in MN is an incredible story!

Here's a long shot. I'm shooting an episode of a webseries that involves a robot. I'm looking for something that could possibly be rolled around on a skateboard or mini dolly, but more specifically, an R2-D2-ish structure around 4 feet in height. I know this sounds rather silly to ask, but does...

Hah, just shot a scene with the infamous Mike Busey: Guy's a riot.

Awesome!

Thanks, Steve! :) Hah! That's great!!! Thanks!!!

Hey guys! I recently set up a Kickstarter page to promote funding toward a webisode series I'm directing and producing in LA. I have a great cast and crew, and I need some extra funds to obtain specific resources to complete production to shoot in January. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! :)...

Looks great! Solid, quick, and to the point. I will definitely help this campaign because I would use this. Keep us posted! :)

I just wanted to drop my two cents in as an editor for about four years. It takes time and lots of patience to conquer the achievement of finishing a large project successfully in the post process. With lots of failures and missed shots, breakthroughs will pour through. We are maestros at the...
