In the studio I work in, all news transfers are made by Firewire 800 interfaces because it's common and fast. It's on iMacs and MacBookPro's. Yes, a SATA cable is the fastest, except SATA cables are for the insides of computers, not data transfer because a computer wouldn't be able to keep up...

2K isn't a lot to work with. My personal camera with insurance was $3,000 for a Panasonic AG-HMC-80 and it's HD. At work we have three custom XH-1's, which with all the hardware run at about $55,000. Those are only standard definition. But their color depth is unmatched.

Avid is hands down, the best because because they have the most experience editing wise. They were the first to get real-time editing working.

District 9! That's a great example of a mocumentary! It shows that if you have an idea you can stretch it pretty far. What about street racing?

It's actually set-up for Charter. The framing on the flags was done on purpose, but it wasn't consistent, and was off a little. We had two camera men at our disposal, with three others doing the actual game. But thanks for the tips! I'll cut back on overlays and stuff! Also no prime lens! No...

1971 DUEL! The whole movie is one giant chase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij2UplGPIGo&feature=related Psychosis said the Duel so IDK if it's the same one here, but it's still a great movie. It could be worse.

Here's a National Anthem Demo I was paid to do with a small crew! Tell me what y'all think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhksYW8bLg4

Its mainstream for mediocre youtubers who think they have the next masterpiece of them screwing around. Its a $300 iMovie. They ruined it. It's so far away from FCP, nothing is the same. Not as many file formats, no multicam, it's been remade for the average Joe. It's shit. I teach FCP7 to...

So I finally got FCPx. I figured out how to install while keeping FCP7, Motion 4, and the old compressor. Good thing too. I hate it. It's so mainstream. I'm also glad I got it free from work, because if I spent $300 on it, I would be angry. It's too mainstream. What are your thoughts on it?

Also, I think you might be able to pull a daft. Daft punk chose lower profits for more control, but while they have a lot of control, they don't make much compared to artists such as Lady Gaga

Everyone asks me why all of my workflows are so complex, and advanced. I set up a FCP7 titling workflow and editing system for the Washoe County School District. Really great. A month later, "You're being let go, you're too expensive." Then about a week later they rehired me because no one could...

Best editing rig ever: MacPro - OSx Snow Leopard, Final Cut Pro 7! 2 - 2.93GHz 6-core Intel Xeon "Westmere" (12 cores) 64GB of Ram (8x8) 4 - 512GB SSD (Instant everything) Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB 2 - 18x SuperDrives 6 - 27" Apple LED cinema displays with all the adapters and such. (3 for the...

The voice over, when ever I do VO outside of the studio, there are two places I'll do it. First: Outside, into the desert mountains about 10-18 miles, at night. This is only for large productions. This is because most of Reno/Sparks/Tahoe is under a huge airspace/flight paths, (a lot of it is...

I thought it was actually really good. I want to go to Cuba one day. It's one of three places I am banned as a member of the press. The other two are, all Nevada, LPB North Indian reservations, and Wal-Mart. Cuba is so pretty. One of my friends Dave got into Cuba through Canada and Mexico, he...

This makes me want to get an ATV and head into the forest surrounding Lake Tahoe. I thought that the opening shot, and all the shots, with the music, just fit so well together, and honestly it was slightly moving. Now because of my job, I would take that, add text and add narration about some...

I think when I get back to work, I'll go over to the 3D people next door. We don't really work together, but I guess there's always a first... They're all PC though, and the Studio is all Mac, so will there be a problem?

Finally got a copy of PFTrack! Really happy, but wait! I open it to find out it's really minimalist and hard to use! I'm still really excited to finally throw in a pimpin' Apache longbow into a news cast! That's all I'm excited for! But there are all these tutorial, but I need help on finding...

I thought Producers are supposed to do all that... I make my news producers do that...

I treated the Apache as a particle. Under the particle tab, there is a turbulence generator. I used it to create realistic turbulence. Cinema 4D is worth every penny. It has a little bit of compatibility with CADD, because of the wide variety of file types it supports.

Sony NXCAM, w/ flash unit. iMac, w/ used FCS, because FCPX sucks.
