I interviewed Danny Holland and Chad Jackson of Brain Farm Cinema about what it’s like to shoot 6K and finish in 4K. They have lots of challenges, from media management to bottlenecks, and the added hurdle of doing a lot of shooting in the deep wilderness. Read it at Creative COW >>
Today, one of my favorite directors, Steven Soderbergh, posted a really great blog about “staging” in film, which is meant to mean how all the elements of a scene work together to tell a visual story. To illustrate his point, he took ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ and remixed it a little: converted to black […]
I’ve been a busy bee at Creative COW. Go read my interviews with Modern Family colorist Aidan Stanford and Saturday Night Live film unit DP and editor Alex Buono and Adam Epstein. We talk about a lot of stuff. You’ll learn things, I promise.
I don’t USUALLY share hot tips anymore, mostly because I don’t have any new ones, but I had a thing happen that I couldn’t find any documentation on, and I fixed two projects with this so far.

So we read and tweet and practice and put time aside for educational workshops (like the upcoming Southeast Creative Summit) because we’re smart and forward-thinking. But […]

The Southeast Creative Summit is happening October 25-27 in Atlanta. It’s three days of workshops taught by working professionals in the video production industry — sound design, color grading, motion […]
In a shameless attempt to gather as many people as possible in one place, I wanted to pass on this event I’m sorta co-hosting with Deb Eschweiler and Jamie Beedy. We wanted to have a meet up that wasn’t exclusive to one city and was still drivable to anyone in the midwest. So, Chicago, why […]
