Rebel's Guide on TWiM

I had the great pleasure of joining the This Week in Media crew on their excellent podcast today. The episode goes live in the next couple of days.

If you're reading this blog but not listening to TWiM, you are missing out. It's the best conversation going on the radical changes in media that are happening right under our noses. To get a taste, dig back in their archives to TWiM 16, which stands to this day as the best recorded summary of the perenial "film vs. video" question.

I'm thrilled to be on the show. We talked about The Guide, Colorista, Red, and a couple other things.

Premiere Pro Back to Mac

Adobe Production Studio To Be Available for Both Mac and Windows

Yay!

I've been a Final Cut user since its first release, and it's great. But when I got my MacBook Pro I decided to quit cold turkey and learn Premiere Pro, for the simple reason that its integration with After Effects stands to create some kind of Voltron-like super robot of editing and effects capability. I haven't been sorry—and now I'll be able to enjoy the Production Studio goodness Macside.

I'm filing this under The Guide because a seamless path between NLE and AE is a big part of the workflow. FCP users will either require Automatic Duck or some serious time on their hands (I've done both myself).

Way to go Adobe. Welcome back where you belong Premiere!

Happy Trip Around The Sun

Happy New Year ProLost peeps!

It's going to be an exciting one, I promise. Rebel's Guide events, cool new software for DV Rebels from Red Giant and others, and hopefully some reports from the trenches of my filmmaking endeavors.

I am thrilled and honored to link you to the first post of the year on HD For Indies. I've never felt the need to post about Mike Curtis's thorough and unique blog—becuase quite frankly the vast majority of my readers find thier way here from there—but in the off chance you don't know about it, HD For Indies is my daily source of the latest info on all things HD, including the Red camera. Mike's first post of double-oh-seven is a review of The Guide followed by a brief interview with yours truly.

Thanks for the kind words Mike—from you they mean a lot.

And to all my readers, Happy New Year and all the best from ProLost.

Stu on Filmmaking Central

You can hear me ramble on about The Guide on the current episode of the Filmmaking Central Podcast, which is an excellent resource for filmmakers at any budget level.
