Color Grading, News, Super 8 Transfers
As I mentioned in a previous post, a few months ago I color corrected a documentary film called “Wings of Thunder.” There were a few shots that had scratches and emulsion dust on the negative. I used an After Effects plug-in from Red Giant called Film Fix. The video below is the original test I […]

I’m currently working on the post workflow for a year-long documentary about following wolf packs. The scientists are shooting on the RED One and various small cameras including the Canon HV20. The decision was made right away to do everything at 24p (actually 23.976p), which means every camera needs to be in this mode, and […]

The 5 week old hard drive in my laptop gave up the ghost the other day. Since I’m working on about 4 projects concurrently, it couldn’t have come at a worse time. Anyone that knows me, knows how paranoid I am about backup and archive. So of course I had a recent backup ready to […]

Remember when phones didn’t have call waiting or voicemail and you got a “busy tone?” That’s how things are going for me right now. Busy, busy, busy, and I would like to thank all of my clients for allowing me to stay busy. I apologize if I’m not returning your calls fast enough. I have […]

Apple, SANs and Post Production, News
I spent the weekend over at TGR to give their Xsan system its semi-annual cleaning. Us IT guys gotta work weekends while you office people are out playing. A little disc defragging here, a little blast of air there. The biggest step is removing all the components from the Xserve RAIDs and rolling the […]

Apple, SANs and Post Production, News
Well, this turned out to be the most ridiculous take-apart I’ve done yet. To replace a broken optical drive in a 12″ Powerbook G4, you have to remove EVERYTHING. Unlike Apple’s other Aluminum notebooks which are very compartmentalized, the 12″ Powerbook is layered like a sandwich and the optical drive is on the bottom. The picture is from right before […]
