There’s been an interesting development since my last post, well, interesting to me anyway. I wrote last time about the ability of editors to be flexible and work on multiple platforms, and how I’ve attempted to approach Final Cut Pro X in this way. Since then I’ve been asked by a friend/client if we could …
A couple of days ago, I began writing about my thoughts on Apple’s Final Cut Pro X. As I was writing that post, I realized it would take me at least a couple of writings to complete my thoughts. I had no intentions of using Final Cut Pro X any time soon, but recently a …
When Apple released the latest version of Final Cut Pro this past summer, the professional editing community was outraged.

The shoot was an overall …

The internet is providing almost unlimited access to just about anything, and as a result of this audiences are expecting more and more access for less and less commitment on their part. This translates to “We want the same content, but we want it for free.” The film …
Those who know me know that I do a lot of work for the rock band, Hinder. I’ve been doing work for them off and on since they got together, back in April of 2001. A lot of people have a problem with Hinder, particularly those involved in the music scene in Oklahoma. I’ve never …
Last week I went on the first shoot for the wife’s new documentary film currently titled “Where Did the Horny Toad Go?” This was the first of what is to be many trips as we make our quest to find out just exactly where this famed lizard has gone? Among our destinations were the small …
Rainbow Around the Sun. Perhaps the culmination of Team Awesome’s aggressively rapid production rate. The first time we had worked together was in February of 2006, and by November of the same year we were already shooting our first feature film.
