I had some troubles with Vuze (the peer-to-peer-video part, not the excellent part formerly known as Azureus) in the past, but last week I used it to submit my entry for the OpenCut competition and I saw some real improvement. For some reason my video was not compatible with Vuze’s re-encoding software, so you can’t […]
Here’s the full interview from the Editors Guild Magazine in PDF form
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 […]
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. […]

I sat very high up in the theater, which is shaped like half a bowl. The video I edited looked terrific. […]
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 […]
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.
