Watch | Multi-Clipper How-to for FCPX
Nobody loves FCPX. No. Body. But We’re learning it anywho even if Adobe’s next version of Premiere is supposedly worth a hoot. So here’s a helpful tutorial on multiclipping, new style (multi-clipping was added in 10.0.3 version, so if its not there, mega update your fcpx). Also, is it multi-clip or cam?

What the What | Digital Bolex
This is either really stupid or cool, probably both (see also, the lomokino), but what’s important is that it has a cool-looking handle. Watch the video here to learn more from these nerdy filmmakers about their digital bolex project. It shoots in RAW (JPEG, TIFF, or Adobe image sequences) and in full HD. Could be cool. Or nutty weird to edit, but hey hot handle.

Watch | Early Rare Robert Altman Short Film
Dig. Here’s a paying gig Robert Altman took when he was a young filmmaker.
Hear This | No Problems!
Media was up late last night running the sound in the Red Barn for this show. I gripped these couple seconds of Pale Cowboy’s set - these guys feature our buddy from the Circ Desk, Thom Sully Sullivan, shredding on lead guitar as well as some other silver-voiced HC Alums. Also on the bill that night, featuring yet another HC Alumni was Brown Bird, who graciously spent a bit of extra time with us for soundcheck.
Running the board that night was our star team of Sasha Hsucyk, trainees Magda Bermudez & Sakchai Chris Tamma. They did a damn fine job. If you’re thinking about putting a show on, whether you’re considering hiring us or not, definitely drop by our office and we can help you figure out how make it sound awesome.
