New Hard Drive

/in

I currently have 10 external hard drives hovering around my computer. One of them used to be an internal hard drive, but it was PATA, and my Jmicron PATA controller does not play well with OS X when memory usage goes over 3GB. Don’t ask me why. It causes regular kernel panics. So now it’s […]

Famous!

/in , ,

I did an interview with Rob Feld for Editors Guild Magazine a couple months ago, and had my picture taken by John Clifford on my lovely Brooklyn roof about a month ago. Today I got a copy of the July/August issue and there’s a big picture of me on the cover looking squinty yet casual. […]

More Commedia

/in

The LA Times reviewed La Commedia a few days ago and in addition to loving the opera, they included a great photo of the show. You can just see the tiny “Screen E” in the upper left above the yellow construction office. In the foreground, that’s the devil holding a soul. He’s about to rise […]

OpenCut Final Cut

/in ,

Here’s the final cut of my OpenCut project. Go to Vimeo to see it in 720p HD. This was a very fun experience. I learned a lot about the Red workflow. It turns out at this point it’s about as easy to use as P2 media. I’m still a little unsure about how I would […]

Commedia Premiere

/in

I arrived in Amsterdam last Wednesday morning and promptly slept until the early afternoon. I got up in time to attend the full dress rehearsal of La Commedia at Carré, which was very exciting. I sat very high up in the theater, which is shaped like half a bowl. The video I edited looked terrific. […]

OpenCut First Cut

/in ,

This past week I’ve worked a bit on my version of the OpenCut 1.0 project. As I said earlier, I did not care for the script, so I decided to make a few important changes to the tone. I’ve finished up my initial cut, and done a bit of sound work. I’ll probably polish the […]

Return to Amsterdam

/in

Tomorrow evening I’m headed back to Amsterdam to attend the World Premiere of La Commedia, the opera I edited video for in April and May. Here’s a neat little promotional video on the opera company’s website that I did not edit, although I did edit the movie-looking footage they show sometimes.

Red TC Fixer

/in ,

Scott Simmons at The Editblog has noticed a serious problem in the Red post workflow. There are two timecode tracks in R3D and their associated QT proxy files. One is known as “edge code” and is generated as rec run. It is continuous from the end of one shot to the beginning of the next. […]
