Boys want to explore.

In 1985, Sting wrote a song called Russians. It was examined the geo-political landscape of the last decade of the cold war and about all he could hope for was that he “Hoped the Russians loved their children too”. It was such a dark time in our history… I couldn’t help but think of that song while I watched this video, and yea, its OBVIOUS they loved their children just as much as we do in “The west”. I often wonder how much political hype we lived under at the time.

Anyway, its a beautiful video… you should watch it.

U2 still amazes me.

You know… I’ve watched a lot of U2 videos and been to a lot of U2 concerts over the years but I’ve NEVER seen this 1993 clip… Just found it tonight after working and THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Nearly 20 years ago!

Tutorial - FCPX - Setting up your Keyword Collections

Chris Fenwick — Fri, 03 May 2013 08:12:07 +0000

When you start an FCPX project I always want to get organized early because it makes me think more clearly about how to find things. This is the way I set up my Keyword Collections and organize them into folders.

Tutorial - FCPX - The VERY beginning.

This revelation was a real breakthru for me when I was learning about FCPX. It really all stems from the fact that between FCP7 and FCPX the good people at Apple decided to COMPLETELY change the meaning of the word “Project”. This short explanation REALLY helped me wrap my head around this.

Editors need to hang out.

OK… I don’t know what I’m gonna call this or how to pull this off but, I want to get together with some local editors, compositors, colorists, and just have a ‘share/show-off/train/inspire’ session. Maybe this is what user groups used to be but I just think this would be a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Maybe we’ll screen grab it? Maybe we’ll web cast it? Maybe we’ll just hang out and tell stories over food and drink? I don’t know. but I’m looking for local San Francisco/Oakland talent that would want to come and have a low key “hang”. Maybe it’ll end up being the editors version of a “Photo Walk”… who knows.

So… anyone interested? Let me know.
