You may have seen this before but people keep sending it to me so I thought I'd repost it.

Quentin Tarantino and I clicked

An Article By Sally Menke: Editors are the quiet heroes of movies and I like it that way. We have a very private relationship with our directors, most often conducted in very dark rooms. I've been with Quentin Tarantino since his very first movie and have edited every single thing he's done since then.

Convert MP3 for Video Editing

Seems like we’re often being handed MP3 files to use in our video projects. It might be a sound effect or an audio track we’ve got the rights to use. The problem is that the MP3 format is not very good for video editing (wrong sample rate... rarely works in real-time). Fortunately there’s an easy fix... iTunes. If you don’t have access to the original files, you should convert the compressed files to an AIFF file for use in a video editing or motion graphics tool.

Early on in my DSLR mission I, like everyone else I expect, thought they were some kind of miracle worker in low light. I kept seeing astonishing shots done with available light out on the street and they looked great. When I got my 7D I went out excitedly expecting to be able to shoot in windowless rooms with the lights off and get perfect exposure.

"What do you see as the start of the music video era?" I asked Dean. He believes it began with promos for the Rolling Stones and that then in the 80s every watched Michael & Janet Jackson’s "Scream." "There were a lot of bold, artistic voices," he enthused. "Now, it’s not the artist, it’s the image." He noted that budgets have skyrocketed although you create a low budget music video for a big band for 20K.

Singular Software's PluralEyes is a piece of Final Cut Pro companion software that can automatically sync multiple cameras and audio sources by scanning the audio waveforms. When it arrived I hoped for an Avid version, but predicted that it would never happen.

Grading the Graders: The Long Awaited Part 2

In reviewing Part 1 of this article, I did notice that I left out one of the more important "pros" of the Baselight system, and that is its directly integrated support for the Truelight color management system. Truelight, like Baselight, is a Filmlight product, and Baselight is designed around the use of that technology for all color management functions, a great advantage. Now.....
