#22 Wk14 – Film Project 1 and NAB Wrapup

By Paul, on May 2nd, 2007%

This episode includes a wrap up of NAB. I focus on Apple and Adobe’s new products and a little bit about the Red Camera.

Although I didn’t attend the first week of the new Module, “Film Project 1″ I lay out the details: get coverage for two 5 minute videos, one demonstrating how to do something, the other is a profile of an individual.

Check out these podcasts that provided a lot of live coverage of the NAB event: This Week in Media, FX Podcast and Digital Production Buzz.

There’s lots of training on Flash video, HD cameras and workflow, Audio production, compression and color correction in FCP. I’ll give you the highlights.

Of course there’s classes on After Effects, 3D software, Adobe suite, Final Cut Pro suite, Avid, HD DVD production. There’s tons of stuff to learn and hard choices to make.

Once the exhibition show opened on Monday April 15 I fought the crowds to find out stuff about Apple and Adobes new offerings. I’ve got a little news, more to come in the next episode.

I’m talking about a variety of shoots this week. We’re shooting an action scene using a dolly and shooting a dialog scene with a variety of OTS (over the shoulder) angles, including dirty and clean singles. Once all the camera work is done we’ll be editing it into rough cuts next week.

I also discuss a number of Filmmaking events taking place in the next couple months. In Boston the Independent Film Festival will be taking place, April 25 – 30. They’re looking for volunteers. Another film festival is online, called the One Minute Film Festival.

The 48 hour film project is closed in Boston, but it’s a wicked cool event you should look into to get a complete tour of the video production experience.

I will be attending NAB mid April and while I talk a little bit about the things I plan to see and learn at the show, including training by FMC, I’ll talk about at more length in the next podcast.

Some of the updated announcements I expect to see are Adobe CS and Production suite, Apple FCP and an update to Avid for the Mac/Intel processor.

Red camera is going to make a big noise with a demonstration and possibly a limited sale of it’s new camera that shoots 4k video.
