I interviewed editor Zack Arnold (Empire, Burn Notice) about his Fitness in Post initiative to make post production pros happier and healthier. “Fitness in post”: it sounds like an oxymoron at first. Spending twelve hours a day hunched over a desk in a dark room, the only “fitness” some of us get is the long […]
Kanen Flowers had me as a guest alongside Mary Poplin and Sian Fever, talking about sexism in post production. Go listen on thatpostshow.com or on iTunes.
(Or any trade show, for that matter.) Trade shows in all industries are notorious for being a spectacle with every vendor competing with the other to be the loudest, shiniest and sexiest. I’m writing to you — any of you involved in the design, staffing or operation of a booth at the upcoming NAB Show […]
I just realized I haven’t formally invited the entire internet to a panel I’m putting together at this year’s NAB Show. After reading my Sexism in Post article, Adobe reached out to see how they could help the visibility of women in the industry. Long story short, I’ve been working on this for the last […]
Creative COW recently revisited Sexism in Post through Fitness in Post’s recent podcast featuring me and Siân Fever.

Veteran comedian and actor Kevin Pollak is known for many things: a long career in stand-up comedy, dozens of performances in films like Casino, A Few Good […]
I interviewed colorist Stephen Nakamura about grading Exodus: Gods and Kings with DaVinci Resolve 11. Nakamura’s colorist credits are expansive, to say the least. He’s worked with David Fincher, Kathryn Bigelow, Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino – and that’s just the start. His career started out in telecine, doing transfers for Warner Bros. cartoons in the […]
“I hadn’t even heard of that movie until the nominations.” “Oh, it’s Oscar nominated? I’ll have to see it.” “I need to see all the best picture nominees before the Oscars are on!” How many times do you hear these things during awards season? All the time? And then also through the rest of the […]
(You can also read and comment on this at CreativeCOW.net) (Okay, maybe the headline is a LITTLE strong, but I HELPED.) In the world of corporate video, the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world didn’t come around often for me. I know that’s not true for many people in the “corporate video” […]
