Hire/retain someone who knows what they are doing. This will take a lot of strain off of you. It will also give you solid production sound so your audio post process/DX edit will be a creative endeavor and not a rescue operation. Don't buy, RENT! As a mentor once told me, "If you don't use...

My audio post facility was doing just fine until Hurricane Ida deposited about six feet of water into my studio. Nothing huge, but I worked on a lot of very nice projects, didn't have a boss, worked on my own schedule (even if I did 50 to 70 hours a week), experienced a lot of wonderful...

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!! It will save you A LOT of time/money if you get the production sound right. If you have solid production sound the dialog edit becomes an artistic endeavor rather than rescue mission. Sound is HALF of the experience.

Good to have someone to whom I can pass the baton.

Yeah, it's mostly marketing the way it is presented. Despite how much hard work being an artist of any kind may be, many of us do take great joy in what we do despite how difficult it can be at times.

Howdy!

As bizarre as it sounds, your best investments are in accessories. I don't know if a tripod would be considered an accessory, but get quality. If you do purchase a quality tripod it will last you through many cameras. Things as mundane as C-stands will last you for decades. I obviously...

Because they felt they needed to compete with Fox Nation. To spread out the financial and legal liabilities, and to satisfy the on-demand market. ------- My guess is that at some point the streaming services will become hosting platforms. They'll charge $XXXX per terra-byte to the content...

Moderation is a wiser policy than zealotry. - Christopher Paolini Moderation is the center wherein all philosophies, both human and divine, meet. - Benjamin Disraeli The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. - Ecclesiastes 9:17 If only there were...

It wasn't a major movement, but... Not long after 9/11 Juan Williams was hounded out of his PBS job because he said that several middle eastern men on his flight made him nervous. Not only is it ridiculous to attempt to destroy someone for relating honest feelings, if anyone had any brains it...

The whole Disney situation typifies what I dislike about the current political climate. For some reason corporations - and even individual celebrities - feel that they MUST take a very loud stand on the most controversial political topics. Okay, you can take any position that you want, that...

Once I was reconciled to the fact that I would not be a rock star, and concentrated on my "supporting" role of musical director, it actually made my life a little easier. One band with which I performed was rather notorious; every time I went out to shop or eat or whatever I would be accosted...

Dat's wight, wabbit!

One of my "rules" is people who have doppelgangers cannot travel to other universes in which they have a doppelganger, so they cannot meet themselves. It's similar to my "no physical presence in the past, observation only" rule; it's a way the multiverse protects itself.

Wow. After I finish my current WIP my next story was specifically about a multiverse.

As an audio guy, how are you handling the sound?

Oh? Really?

There are 34 songs listed on the soundtrack, and there are a few more not included. (Hanky Panky is one.) When Zemeckis and Silvestri discussed the score, they decided that source music would go with the action, score would support the emotions.

The best question for creative people is "What if?" What if... aliens invaded, a plague got loose, there was a nuclear war, animals could talk, you got drunk and can't remember what you did last night, and a million others. Most of them have been done in one way or another. It all comes down...
