The Tech Media Planet Podcast

Special Guest : Michael Cioni from Light Iron Digital, sits with our hosts to discuss the hits and misses at this year's NAB 2012. While 3D seemed to be on the backburner this year, 4K seems to have flourished. Are we ready for a 4K world?

Special Guest : Michael Cioni from Light Iron Digital, joins our hosts to discuss the very controversial release of Apple's latest Final Cut X. Many professional editors are already dubbing it iMovie Pro, while others are already looking for exit strategies towards Adobe Premiere and AVID. Michael a long time Final Cut Pro user in post production professional applications says "not so fast", "wait till you see what this thing can do". In a first for Tech Media Planet, we have a Quicktime Video Clip that can be downloaded from our website so that everybody can follow along with Michael in his demonstration and explanation of why he believes that Final Cut X truly is a game changer and will set the standards by which all other NLE's will have to compete.

NAB 2011 WRAP UP: Our hosts go through the ins and outs of this year's NAB 2011. It would be an understatement to call this year's NAB show "The year of the on-board recorder" but it certainly was. Add to that 4K solutions by SONY and JVC, and you have the contents of a fascinating discussion.

Special Guest : Ian Vertovec, Colorist at LightIron Digital, takes us through the ins and outs of color grading one of this year's biggest hit films "THE SOCIAL NETWORK". While most people know that the film was shot entirely on RED ONE MX cameras, most do not realize how visual effects heavy this movie is (yes, nothing like Benjamin Button, but heavy by regular narrative standards). Whether it's sky-replacement or creating a set of twins, this film seems to mix VFX and NON-VFX shots with relative ease, a testament to proper preparation and post workflow.
