I could use your help. I'm looking for behind-the-scenes photos of how you record audio. What mics you use, where they are placed, mixers, production staff ... all things audio. I'm putting together a webinar on "audio techniques on set for video" and I'd be grateful for any photos you can provide. These photos will be part of a public webinar, so be sure they are released.
I've had a great deal of fun this last week learning more about the Color page in DaVinci Resolve for this week's webinar. It can do some amazing things - many of which don't exist in either Premiere or Final Cut. If you want to learn more, sign up for my free webinar this Wednesday. Spend an hour learning how to make your projects look better. Because Resolve integrates with Premiere and Final Cut, you don't need to edit in Resolve to take advantage of what the Color page provides.
This week started with the best of intentions. I bought myself some new gear to play with, including a high-end Epson photo scanner. I was planning three different product reviews for this week revolving around this new toy... only to discover that it will take me another two days to get the software installed. Sigh... scanner reviews coming next week.
What I do have this week, in addition to my trade show thoughts, is a review of an amazing table-top tripod from Marshall Electronics. This tripod is the most solidly-built, well-thought-out, versatile small tripod I’ve seen. Here's my review.
Part of the challenge in reviewing this new scanner was getting it to work in the first place. Connecting two scanners to the same computer is not as simple as plugging them in. Here's what I learned to make them work.
We still have two long months of cold and worrisome winter to get through before the hopeful advent of spring. Yet, I remain optimistic. Unlike any other industry, we give audiences around the world reasons to care, to hope and to learn. All we have to do is our jobs. Which is pretty cool when you think about it.
Until next Monday, stay safe, stay healthy and edit well.
