The highly anticipated Panasonic GH5 has generated a soap opera of epic proportions. While an outstanding 4K video camera, the GH5's sub-par implementation of continuous autofocus and wonky image stabilization has many video pros very much consternated. In this episode I talk about these issues and give you my take on the drama surrounding the GH5. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 7+ and it got me thinking again about something Chris Fenwick had said in an earlier episode of this podcast - back when it was known as the DCP. Chris called the iPhone "a studio in your pocket.” He joins me in this episode to expand upon his thoughts on how mobile devices are changing the way we work as creatives.

This year I’ve published 31 episodes of the Digital Convergence Podcast. If there is anything to be learned from these podcast episodes this year it’s that gear will only get you so far. Most cameras made today are good–even the iPhone in your pocket. Video editor Chris Fenwick called the iPhone a “studio in our hands.” With such power and quality available to us, there’s no reason to agonize over what camera to buy. In essence, there’s nothing left to pixel peep because all pixels are pretty good.  So now that we’ve got gear angst out of the way, in 2017 and beyond, we can move on and focus on creating. You are first and foremost a creative.  Imagination trumps gear.  The creative process begins with an idea. Where do creative ideas come from? In this last episode of 2016, I explore this question and examine the creative process through a series of interview clips that feature filmmaker and director David Lynch, actor and comedian Gene Wilder, director and explorer James Cameron, composer and performer Yanni, musician and founder of The Black Eyed Peas will.i.am, producer and musician Brian Eno, and author, lecturer, and education expert Sir Ken Robinson. Their thoughts on where creative ideas originate, the creative process, creative failure, and overcoming creative discouragement will inspire you to expand your creative horizons no matter what your situation is in life, or the gear and software you have, in the year ahead.  Please support our show sponsors:  Get your yearly subscription to the VideoBlocks + AudioBlocks bundle today for only $149 here: http://videoblocks.com/digital2016  CrumplePop - Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X Plugins: http://crumplepop.com  Mentioned in the show:  Interviews on Creativity:  Hitchcock's Definition of Happiness: https://youtu.be/14dOICbwSIs  Gene Wilder on Creativity (from CTForum.org) https://youtu.be/4gG3ludjkMs  James Cameron Interview on Creativity | Montréal 2014: https://youtu.be/duEyYGqWFt8  Yanni: Illustrating the Creative Process: https://youtu.be/xQJ21n9LDHo  will.i.am on Creativity | American Genius (from National Geographic): https://youtu.be/yEnVShUZXks  Brian Eno by Alfred Dunhill: https://youtu.be/5mqtc2Z3K8o  Brian Eno & Steven Johnson On Art (from How We Get To Next): https://youtu.be/RMU5nhpb4LE  Sir Ken Robinson on creativity and education: https://youtu.be/fKaGExyFOR0  Steve Johnson’s How We Get To Next: https://howwegettonext.com  The amazing people featured on Digital Convergence Podcast in 2016:  Filmmakers:  Justin DeMers and Ray Tsang: DCP 185: Team of One Filmmaking with Justin DeMers and Ray Tsang: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-185-team-of-one-filmmaking-with-justin-demers-and-ray-tsang  Rick Delgado: DCP 188: Director and Cinematographer Rick Delgado: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-188-director-and-cinematographer-rick-delgado  Cinzia Angelini: DCP 190: Mila Film Writer and Director Cinzia Angelini and Producer Andrea Emmes: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-190-mila-film-writer-and-director-cinzia-angelini-and-producer-andrea-emmes  Jason Amm: DCP 191: Jason Amm - Producer of Electronic Voyager: Retracing Bob Moog's Sonic Journey: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-191-jason-amm-producer-of-electronic-voyager-retracing-bob-moogs-sonic-journey  Mathew Farrell: DCP 193: The Karakoram Anomaly - With Mathew Farrell: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-193-the-karakoram-anomaly-with-mathew-farrell  Tom Bryan: DCP 202: Tom Bryan's The Casey Neistat School of Filmmaking: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-202-tom-bryans-the-casey-neistat-school-of-filmmaking  Ken Bell: DCP 206: Kenn Bell - Director of Second Chance Dogs: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-206-kenn-bell-director-of-second-chance-dogs  Entrepreneurs:  Soundstripe: DCP 189: Soundstripe Co-Founder Micah Sannan: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-189-soundstripe-co-founder-micah-sannan  Jason Been: DCP 192: Jason Been - Imagecraft Productions: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-192-jason-been-imagecraft-productions  Dylan Higginbotham: DCP 207: Dylan Higginbotham - Founder of Stupid Raisins and Creator of FCP X Plugins: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-207-dylan-higginbotham-founder-of-stupid-raisins-and-creator-of-fcp-x-plugins Brent Barbano of Sharegrid: DCP 196: Am I Getting Paid Enough? - Part 3: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-196-am-i-getting-paid-enough-part-3 Mentors: Dave Dugdale: DCP 203: Dave Dugdale on Sony and Canon: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-203-dave-dugdale-on-sony-and-canon  Caleb Pike: DCP 204: Caleb Pike Builds a Hackintosh for FCP X: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-204-caleb-pike-builds-a-hackintosh-for-fcp-x  Kris Simmons: DCP 194: Am I Getting Paid Enough?

I have a conversation with Chris Fenwick about his experience attending LACPUG (Los Angeles Creative Pro User Group) meeting last week. A team from Apple presented the latest FCP X update: 10.3. In our conversation, Chris explains the benefits of FCP X audio lanes and their impact on picture lock. Even if you don’t use FCP X, you will certainly benefit from the editorial lessons that Chris generously shares not only in this episode, but also in his FCPX Grill podcast.

Last month I had a great conversation with 30+ year editing and producing veteran Chris Fenwick about what it takes to make it in this business. He used the analogy of "standing on a chair" to make a point. In the context of that conversation was his commentary about a female assistant editor in Hollywood who as featured in the second installment of our Breaking the Glass docu-film series. The editor, Christine Haslett, shared frustrations about not advancing as far as she would've liked in her field. JD heard Chris' commentary on her situation and felt in the context of Christine, the "stand on a chair" analogy was not only way off the mark, but he felt it also sabotaged the very message "Breaking the Glass" series is trying to convey. As he put it, "He wanted to knock the guy over who was standing in the chair" (albeit, the way he described it was a tad more, um, colorful. :)This is an episode that will make you laugh and/or get pissed (I'm sure you'll get mad at somebody in this episode).

On last week's season 2 premiere of Radio Film School, 30+ year editing and producing veteran Chris Fenwick provided some great perspective. But during my conversation with him, we talked about a number of things. One of them was his comment made about the second installment of our "Breaking the Glass" docu-film series wherein animation editor Christine Haslett shared frustrations about not advancing as far as she would've liked in her field. Chris' commentary on her situation is the impetus for today's discussion.After the credits, there's a fun preview of our brand new podcast about HBO's hit new series "Westworld."

Dave Dugdale of LearningVideo.com and Chris Fenwick of Slice Editorial join me today to talk about Sony’s new cameras - the a6500, a99, and the R100 Mark IV. But this is not just a gear chat, we talk about our philosophy of buying gear - when we do and when we don't, and why. Does buying a better camera really make us better storytellers? It depends. Of course, it was inevitable that we talk about Canon - who Dave famously dumped and switched to Sony. Of course, there’s a lot more in this lively conversation.

Last week Chris Fenwick and I explored scene by scene Casey Neistat’s video: The Casey Neistat’s Guide to Filmmaking. In that episode, Chris referenced a hilarious video created by London-based director and filmmaker Tom Bryan. Tom’s film is called "The Casey Neistat School of Filmmaking." Tom Bryan's real passion - though already an accomplished corporate video producer - is to create drama oriented films. The Casey Neistat School of Filmmaking - self-funded and created with an all volunteer crew - is the first in a series of several narrative films Tom has set out to create this year. Watching this short film, it’s obvious he is off to an amazing start. Tom is a filmmaker to watch! I know a lot of folks - especially filmmakers - don’t get the Neistat phenomena. However, is there anything we can learn from the Neistat experience? Chris Fenwick returns to this episode to join my conversation with Tom Bryan to discuss this topic and answer that question.

It seems like everyone today wants to be the next Casey Neistat. What makes his YouTube channel and videos so compelling? Neistat's YouTube channel currently has over 5 million subscribers, and has amassed over 1 billion views. He must be doing something right that draws such an insanely huge audience. A few months ago Casey Neistat released a video he called Casey Neistat’s Guide to Filmmaking. In this episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Chris Fenwick and I take an indepth look at Neistat's video.

This is the 200th episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast. My special guest for this episode is none other than Chris Fenwick. Chris has a long, storied history with this show so it's only fitting that he joins me in a fun conversation about the past, the present, and the future of being a digital media creative. This podcast began to be published in January 2010 at the beginning of the "convergence" revolution brought about accidentally by Canon with the epic Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. This show has tracked the progress of the technology of the tools used by digital media creatives for nearly six and a half years.

A DCP listener posed this scenario to Chris Fenwick and I just before we recorded episode 187 of the Digital Convergence Podcast: "I was in a production company last week and most people were under 30. All but one was under 40. What’s the key to longevity in the business?” It’s a great question. I’m not sure we directly answered the question in this episode, but we did have a lot to say about how our attitude makes a difference as we get older and help us "stay in the business." Prior to pressing the record button for this episode, I watched a poignant video that Chris just completed for a memorial service for a dear friend of his who had recently passed away. Chris explains how he put together a moving video tribute to a friend. Talk about embracing and learning something new… Chris talks about why he decided to get a new DJI Phantom 4. It also involved renting a ferris wheel in Kona, Hawaii. Naturally.

Director, writer, and editor Eli Sasich joins Carl Olson and Chris Fenwick to talk about two of his recent sci-fi passion projects: HENRi and ATROPA. Eli discusses how he used a combination of miniature models, puppetry, in-camera effects and CGI to create HENRi - an epic sci-fi short film starring Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) and Margot Kidder (Superman). Kickstarter funded, and two years in the making, HENRi tells the story of a derelict spaceship that becomes self-aware and builds itself a mechanical body in order to feel alive. ATROPA is about an Off-World Detective who investigates the missing research vessel ATROPA. It's a concept short created by Eli Sasich inspired by '70s and '80s sci-fi classics like Alien and Blade Runner.

Dale Grahn's resume as a color timer is impressive. He's worked extensively with Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola. He must have one of the longest list of films under one name in the IMDB database! Dale talks about the craft of color timing feature films. We get the inside scoop on how he helped develop the bleach bypass look of Saving Private Ryan. Dale is the grand master of color for feature films and broadcast television series. He's the guy, as Chris Fenwick says, you want to watch over their shoulder as they perform their craft. Dale talks about his new iPad app that helps you learn the basics of color grading. The app has several video tutorials with Dale Grahn explaining how to produce different looks. Then you get the opportunity to try to match what he does. The game-like approach is a great teaching aid.

inal Cut Pro X 10.0.06, cool new stuff from Apple (iPad mini, 4th gen iPad, razor thin iMacs, retina 13″ MacBook, new Mac Mini’s), Canon 5D Mark III full HDMI output, oh my! Chris Fenwick and planetMitch get excited and excitable about all the new stuff announced this week in episode 96 of the Digital Convergence Podcast – the number talk show about photography, video, and post-production. But wait! There’s more… Chris shares a cool tip about creating sparse disk images for Final Cut Pro X projects and events, and Chris talks about his folder structure for FCP X projects and events. Is there anything this man does not know?!?

Chris Fenwick takes on hosting duties for today’s show since my vocal chords are ripped from being sick this week. Today’s filmmaking panel includes planetMitch of planet5d.com and Ron Dawson of DareDreamMag.com. We start off by taking a leap from the edge of space with “Fearless” Felix Baumgartner and his amazing 128,000 feet supersonic jump – all covered in unprecedented detail. In addition to RED cameras and Canon 5D’s mounted to the cabin, there were 5 GoPro Hero cameras mounted to Felix’s spacesuit for what will no doubt be some of the most amazing POV shots ever. Speaking of GoPro, planetMitch talks about the new 4K GoPro Hero3 cameras announced this morning. We continue the discussion of shooting interviews in this episode. Chris Fenwick talks with his former boss, Stewart Cheifet, long time host and director of the Computer Chronicles show. Cheifet – who has interviewed the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Larry Ellison – shares some of his interviewing tips and techniques. Ron Dawson talks about the interview from the standpoint of being a documentary filmmaker. He talks about one of current projects – Mixed in America – and how the interview turned out to be journey of discovery that took the film into unexpected places and emotions.

Before we hit the record button this morning, Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and I were discussing a short movie that we were thinking about featuring in our Cinema Room segment of the show. planetMitch had made an inquiry to the artist about the technique he used in the film - a request that was turned down. In a community  where sharing information is the norm, this took us aback a bit. You can listen to our reaction - and Chris' reaction in particular - to this filmmaker's unusual stance to not share. A shame really, since it's a lovely film. Today's show is devoted to answering some of our listeners questions. Chris goes in deep with his techniques on shooting and editing an interview. There are some good practical tips in this lively discussion.

In episode 92 of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, Ron Dawson and I discuss the amazing new sci-fi movie Lost Memories, by filmmaker Francois Ferracci. The movie is about a couple in Paris. The man has the latest digital technology to capture his memories. The woman has nothing more than an old analog Polaroid camera. What happens when we entrust all our memories to the cloud and that technology fails? Francois has made a remarkable movie that is not only a technical and artistic marvel, but also a brilliantly told story.

Today, my podcasting compadres Chris Fenwick and planetMitch join me in talking about a huge number of product announcements (and, no, we barely even mention the iPhone 5 but really 6). We play our first voicemail feedback from two  fans of the DCP. We love the feedback! Finally we hit the hot button topic of photography in public places in a post-9/11 world. planetMitch shares his unsettling experience of having the police called on him while he was testing photo gear.

In this week's episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and I talk with Patrick Moreau of Stillmotion. Patrick has truly transformed event filmmaking. In this episode, Patrick talks about their new app: SMAPP. The app was created to help make filmmaking more approachable and easier to understand. Stillmotion is also releasing a 380 page book (it's currently at the printers). Patrick says that this book, "is probably the best thing we've done as a team." Patrick talks, too, about the We can't wait to read it. As usual, though, we take the road less traveled and take a number of detours where we discuss everything from high frame rate video versus the 24p film aesthetic to pondering the question: is everything a re-mix?

Chris Fenwick returns from an 11 day editing gig for Minis Takes The States 2012 tour while planetMitch is away in Austin, Texas. So, what’s it like to work on a touring bus editing until the wee hours of the morning? How do you decide what footage to use in each episode? How do you manage that much media? What video editor is best suited for cranking out over two dozen videos over the course of 11 days? Some of Chris’ answer will unsurprisingly surprise you.

Special guest Walter Biscardi of Biscardi Creative and co-founder of Atlanta Cutters joins Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and Carl Olson in episode #80 of the Digital Convergence Podcast.

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends (even when I'm out on the road) thanks to Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and Barry Anderson - another episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast - the show about photography, video and post production - hits the airwaves. Or the intertubes. Today's hot topic: music licensing. I think the Digital Convergence podcast team has pulled off another great episode. Thanks, guys!

Many filmmakers can recall a pivotal feature film they watched that caused them to say, "I want to make a movie." For some, it may have been Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odessey. For others, it may have been the summer of 1977's premiere of George Lucas' Star Wars. For our special guest on the Digital Convergence Podcast, Mike Carroll, it was Dvaid Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. Mike Carroll has long desired to make feature length films - not shorts - and to date has three feature length movies in distribution. Each movie was made on a small budget. Not only has Mike directed three feature films of his own, he is the author of two books. His first book, Naked Filmmaking: How To Make A Feature-Length Film - Without A Crew - For $10,000 Or Less, chronicles in depth his journey to make feature length movies with minimal gear and very little money. One reviewer says this about Mike's book: "Carroll walks us through the joyful but often tedious and gut-wrenching process of one-man filmmaking every step of the way, giving detail after detail. He truly holds nothing back here, which makes for one of the best and most thorough books on making an independent film you can come across." In this episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and Carl Olson (that's me) have a blast listening to Mike's truisms of independent filmmaking. There's a lot of good content in this episode - thanks to Mike. Also, planetMitch shares his experience in judging the 1st Annual APA Members Short Video Contest. Lot's a interesting movies produced by photographers who are transitioning from stills to motion.

Today's episode of the Digital Convergence podcast finds me face-to-face with Chris Fenwick who is working on location for a huge conference. Before recording the show in his edit suite, I got to the conference opener video that Chris crafted for three large video screens before an audience of over 600 people from all over the world. All I can say is, "Wow!" planetMitch joined us via Skype today, too. We talk about a wide range of topics from doing video for large conferences, editing in FCP X, ergonomics for editors, and the 2012 Guerrilla Film Challenge where planetMitch is serving as a judge along with Koo of NoFilmSchool. You can read more about the 2012 Guerrilla Film Challenge on planetMitch's blog at planet5D.com.

In this special edition of the Digital Convergence Podcast, we leave behind gear talk. Chris Fenwickdelves deep into the mind and vision of Po Chan - a remarkable visual story teller and artist. Po Chan wrote and directed The Ticket and The Last Three Minutes - both films that were shot byShane Hurlbut of Hurlbut Visuals. Behind every great film is a great story. From where do those stories come from? How do stories make the transition to the medium of film? How is editing more than just "cutting"? What role does a colorist play in evoking emotion and meaning? How does a director bring the story to life and propel it forward by means of camera position and moves? What role does light play in breathing life into the film? This interview of Po Chan by Chris Fenwick provides insight and commentary on these questions. You will enjoy the scene by scene breakdown by Po Chan as she explains her thinking - why it was framed, lit, shot, edited and graded as it was.

The Digital Convergence Podcast gang finally managed to get back together to bring you another episode. With my voice box nearly desimated by a cold,Chris Fenwick and planetMitchjoin me in another interesting discussion of video, photography, and post-production. planetMitch Skypes in from LA where he is working with Barry Andersson to produce a short movie with their brand new Canon EOS 5D Mark III's. planetMitch gives us the scoop on what it was like to work on such an ambitious project on a tightly constrained schedule. Chris, too, has been working on editing some BTS footage for a recent Shane Hurlbut commercial shoot. In this episode, I lose any chance I could have ever had at being invited to an Apple event. What's that you say? No, it's what Chris said to Apple's Final Cut Pro X project manager at a recent SFCutters meeting. Yikes! But he has a point and Apple really does need to listen. We respond to some great listener feedback and questions in this episode. Until next week, that's a wrap!

With an APB out on Chris Fenwick (we think he's holed up in a KOA Campy Cabin in the mountains), planetMitch (planet5D.com), and Gabe Cheifetz (CrumplePop.com) and I take on the latest news and happenings in the world of video and photography. We lead off with a wrap-up of the excitement (and fall-out) of Canon's latest announcement: the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. planetMitch brings a balanced, reasoned response to the Nikon D800 demo video that apparently used Canon 5D Mark II footage. Gabe Cheifetz, of CrumplePop, talks about FCP X. I'm pleased to have CrumplePop as a sponsor of our podcast. I'm fanatical about their plugins and use them extensively in my training series. Gabe talks about their reaction to FCP X when it first came out, and the unexpected opportunity that arose from Apple's tight integration of Motion 5 and FCP X.

Episode 63 of the Digital Convergence podcast brings Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, Tony Reale (of NextWaveDV) and myself together in a lively discussion about learning the craft of filmmaking. Do you need to go to film school? Is a college degree necessary to make it in this business? What is the best way to learn? Does one size fit all when it comes to education? We also talk about the latest video and photography news. planetMitch talks about his recent weekend trip and meet up with Shane Hurlbut, the director of photography for the recently released feature film, Act of Valor. Much of the movie was filmmed with Canon 5D Mark II's. Chris Fenwick responds to a friendly rebuttal from one of our listeners on the noise reduction / sharpening issue we talked about in the last episode. I'm pleased to introduce CrumplePop as a new sponsor for the Digital Convergence podcast. I have been using their products for some time now. They make a lovely collection of plugins for Final Cut Pro. Thank you, CrumplePop, for sponsoring the Digital Convergence podcast. Thank you for listening to the show. Please rate the show on iTunes. Please keep your questions and comments coming!

Carl Olson (DigitalFilm.TV), Chris Fenwick (chrisfenwick.com), and planetMitch (planet5D.com) talk making money in photography and video in today's economy.

Are the new Nikon D800 and D800E - each sporting a huge 36 megapixel full-frame sensor - worthy competitors of the venerable Canon 5D Mark II? planetMitch (planet5D.com) gives us the details on these new Nikon cameras. Canon also released new product this week - the successor to the 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. The new lens is $1,000 more than the original. Is it worth it? The big news last week was Apple's 10.0.3 update to FCP X. Post-production guru Chris Fenwick (chrisfenwick.com) gives FCP X's new multicam feature a thorough work out on a new music video that was shot last week. How does the new multicam feature stack up against other NLE's? Is this finally the FCP X release everyone has been waiting for? Has FCP X finally got its groove back? Listen to the show to hear Chris' reaction to this new update.  We wrap up the show with our picks and recommendations. Chris makes an incredible offer to our listeners - you will have to listen to the show to get the details!

Dave Dugdale (LearningDSLRVideo.com), planetMitch (planet5D.com), Chris Fenwick (chrisfenwick.com) and I span the four major timezones of the continental United States in Episode 59 of the Digital Convergence Podcast. planetMitch rounds up the latest Canon 5D Mark III - the fabled successor of the long-in-the-tooth Canon 5D Mark II - rumors in the wild (literally, in Kenya of all places) and weighs in with his analysis of the unidentified Canon camera photographed by Stephen Oachs.

Episode 56 - Chris Fenwick, Mitch Aunger (aka planetMitch), and Carl Olson ponder the question: should freelance videographers sell their HDSLR kits and buy a Canon C300?

Episode 49 A Faster Way To Edit with Chris Fenwick, Dave Dugdale, and Carl Olson

In episode 45 of the Digital Convergence podcast, Philip Hodgetts, Patrick Inhofer, Chris Fenwick and Carl Olson discuss last week's polarizing and controversial launch of Final Cut Pro X. Is this the biggest debacle since the MobileMe fiasco? Has Apple intentionally alienated high-end pro users? Can Apple make this right or does Apple care? What is the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of FCP X?

In Episode 44 of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Carl Olson and Chris Fenwick speak with photographer and author David duChemin of Pixelated Image. David is the author of Vision Mongers - Making A Life and a Living In Photography, Within the Frame: The Journey of Photographic Vision, and Vision & Voice: Refining Your Vision in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. He is also the author of a number of wonderfully beautiful and inspiring e-books available at CraftAndVision.com. David duChemin is a thoughtful ranter. He is never rude, but, rather, passionately convincing in his push to help us become better photographers and visual artists. I think you'll agree that David provides a good dose of fertilizer in the cultivation of our art - whether we are still photographers or filmmakers.

This episode marks the return of Carl Olson and Chris Fenwick on the Digital Convergence podcast after a nearly 6 month long hiatus. This episode features a delightful and talented filmmaking couple - Alex Beckstead and Joelle Jaffe of 4SP Films. They have produced a number of fine films including the scrumptuous Tartine Bread book trailer.

Episode 42 - Featuring Victoria Taylor-Gore, artist, educator, and filmmaker - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). Victoria Taylor-Gore's pastels have been exhibited professionally for over 20 years with representation in premiere art galleries in Sante Fe and Taos, New Mexico. Her pastels have a luminous quality - ordinary scenes appear backlight with warm light emanating from an unseen light source. Victoria recently begin experimenting with a Canon 7D to produce short films featuring her art and antique miniatures. She has also ventured outside captuing such scenes as Cadillac Ranch along Route 66. Victoria says "the Canon 7D has changed my life - what a magical tool." Victoria continues: "Painting, filmmaking, and photography deal with the same essential design components... composition, light, color, emphasis...it's all part of visual storytelling." In this episode, Chris and I are amazed by Victoria's visual story telling and the clever, experimental approach she takes to accomplish her vision. She clearly has an eye for visual story telling. In this episode Victoria delights us with her narative as to how she "paints as a director" and how film is affecting her pastels in new and exciting ways. You will be inspired by Victoria's new found passion for filmmaking with the Canon 7D.

Episode 41 - Featuring Owen Masterson of Anthony-Masterson Photography and producer of the movie Grow! - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). Christine Anthony and Owen Masterson are the wife/husband filmmaker/ photography duo known as Anthony-Masterson. They moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles 5 years ago because they wanted to experience a different part of the country.    Their first film FARM!, a 13 minute documentary about young farmers in Georgia, was shot on the Flip Ultra. In 2008 FARM! was an official selection of both the Rome International Film Festival and the Athens EcoFocus Film Festival. They have since picked up a Panasonic HPX170 P2. In this episode of Digital Convergence, Owen Masterson speaks with me about his latest movie project, the documentary: Grow!. The movie is about about young, new organic farmers in Georgia. They chose 12 farms located throughout the state. The cast includes 21 farmers, each one unique as far as education, experience, opportunity and motivation. Most of them do not own the land they are farming on. They began filming in April 2010 as the first crops were going into the ground. They will film through November as the growing season comes to a close. They will be editing over the winter and readying the film for the premier at the Georgia Organics Annual Conference in Savannah, GA in March 2011.

Episode 40 - Featuring Patrick Inhofer of Fini! Color Correction + Finishing and Tao Of Color - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). In this episode we talk with colorist Patrick Inhofer of Fini! Color Correction + Finishing. Color grading and finishing are Patrick's passion. He has worked on a huge variety of projects including film, documentaries, television series, corporate videos. His work has appeared on HBO, NBC, ABC, Showtime, ESPN, Oxygen, AMC, Lifetime, TNT, TBS, and National Geographic Channel - to name just a few. With the advent of low-cost HDSLR video, many new filmmakers face a huge learning curve for not only production, but also editing and color correction, grading, and finishing. Where does a HDSLR digital filmmaker begin? What is the best way to learn colorist skills? How can the HDSLR DP shoot to get the best color results? Patrick Inhofer's Tao of Color website is an incredibly rich resource for learning the art and craft of a colorist. His course helps you hone your skills as a colorist by allowing your to look over his shoulders. Footage shot with a Canon 5D Mark II is provided so that you can practice wit the same material that Patrick uses in the course. You learn how Patrick grades and then you go and apply what you learn on the 5D footage.  Listening to Patrick in this podcast, you come to realize that he is not only a superb technologist, but is also a passionate artist.

Episode 39 - Featuring Jeff Regan of Shooting Star Video - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). Jeff Regan is the founder and owner of Shooting Star Video - a provider of high quality video equipment rentals and services in the Bay Area for over 25 years. Having been intimately involved in video technology since the Reagan administration in the early 80's, Jeff adds his unique voice and perspective to the Digital Convergence podcast. We talk about the evolution of video technology, bringing the cinema aesthetic to video, traditional video camcorders vs HDSLR gear, and the vital role collaboration plays in producing creative works. Jeff talks, too, about the new Panasonic AF-100 4/3 micro camcorder and answers a number of our questions about the camera, bit rate obession, AVCHD codec vs other codecs, etc. Jeff's insight into video technology brings a reasoned voice of balance in the near religious wars of HDSLR vs. traditional video. A must-listen episode!

Episode 38 - Featuring Brian Valente of Redrock Micro - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). Brian Valente of Redrock Micro join Chris and I in this episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast. Red Rock Micro, with headquarters located near Dallas, Texas, was founded in 2004 by a group of avid digital filmmakers whose desire to produce high quality movie images without access to huge budgets led them to start Redrock Micro: a company committed to the express purpose of bringing cinema-quality accessories to market at revolutionary prices. We believe in - and - enable the privelege of personal ownership of production equipment. Today, Redrock Micro designs and sells a line of high quality cinema accessories for independent filmmakers, film educators and students, and budget-conscious moviemakers.  Brian talks with us about the new microEVF viewfinder for HDSLR cameras and also brings us up-to-date on the amazing microREMOTE. Brian graciously and patiently put up with our pushing him for more future product information and product ideas we would like to see. Redrock Micro has quickly established themselves as a leading innovator of HDSLR equipment - all without breaking the bank.   And exclusively on the Digital Convergence podcast, Brian valent announces the new Redrock Micro 3D rig for coupling two HDSLR cameras for filming 3D.  

Episode 37 - Featuring Tara Oldfield and Jason DeRose of Novacut - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com).  Chris and I begin this episode by talking about the Digital Dark Ages and huge problem of archiving and backing up video, photo, and other media files - affordably. Our banter migrates over to the controversial question "Is HDSLR video dead?" In the interview segement, I talk with Tara Oldfield and Jason DeRose of Novacut. Jason and Tara are developing a free video editor that allows artists to collaborate over the internet and harness cheap cloud computing. The Novacut editor is aimed at professional-grade TV and movie production using HDSLR cameras (like the 5D Mark II). These cameras have drastically lowered production costs, but we want to reduce costs even further... so they are taking the lean, distributed workflow perfected by the open-source community, and bringing it to video. Distributed teams are a big part of what has allowed open-source to amazingly produce better software, yet for less money and in less time. The Novacut team feels they can do the same for video. Tara and Jason want to see an explosion of financially viable independent TV shows distributed directly to fans over the Internet, funded through direct fan support, licensed under the Creative Commons. Chris and I wrap up the show with the latest on Chris' epic journey to switch from Final Cut Pro to Adobe's Premiere Pro. We talk about the Shane Hurlbut "sizzle" trailor video featuring highlights from Shane's 2010 HDSLR Bootcamp.

Episode 36 - Featuring MIchael Safai and Alaric Cole of Soviet Montage Productions - with host Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and co-host Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). Carl and Chris talk with Michael and Aleric about their recently released amazing HDR film clip they produced using two Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras and some proprietary post-production magic. The one minute 37 second film gives us a remarkable glimpse of the future of filmmaking. We talk about the state of the art of HDR technology and the aesthetic of HDR filmmaking.  

Episode 34 - Featuring Khalid Mohtaseb and Jonathan Bregel of Next Level Pictures - on the Digital Convergence Podcast by 16x9 Cinema with hosts Carl Olson (http://16x9cinema.com) and Chris Fenwick (http://chrisfenwick.com). In the first segment of the show, Chris Fenwick talks about his behind the scene experience with Shane Hurlbut's Hurlbut Visuals HDSLR Bootcamp. Chris gives a feel for what it was like to be in attendance. Chris talks about how the editors at the HDSLR Bootcamp used Adobe Premiere Pro instead of Apple's Final Cut Pro and why. We geek out on data management when Chris reveals he collected over 680 GB of data at the HDSLR Bootcamp. In the next segment I talk to two amazing filmmakers who are in their early twenties. Khalid Mohtaseb was born in Doha Qatar in December 1985. He spent his childhood traveling from one country to another, until his father was relocated to Wayne New Jersey in 1993. Khalid's work includes the controversial Haiti Earthquake Aftermath video - an amazingly beautiful, cinematic depiction of the sad human cost of this devasting earthquake. Khalid's talent has taken him all the way from shooting film in Coney Island to corporate interviews around the country. Jonathan Bregel was mentored at a young age by photographer/professor Juan Carlos Castro and was taught the art of lighting, and frame composition. Prior to attending college, Jonathan's photography and documentary work was displayed in museums nationwide. Years later, he graduated from Full Sail University with a BS in Filmmaking. Jonathan's work has already been displayed on many television stations including; IFC, MTV, MTV2, MTVu, Fuse, and BET. Jonathans passion for filmmaking and travel has allowed him to shoot in every state in the USA along with several places outside the USA. Khalid and Jonathan talk about a new music video they filmed with Canon 5D's and 7D's for the music group There for Tomorrow and their new single Deathbed.  

Episode 33 - Trey Ratcliff We have a great episode lined up for you today. My co-host Chris Fenwick shares a great tip for handling B-roll in Final Cut Pro that will save you a boatload of time. He has a great screencast showing step-by-step this technique: How To Edit B-Roll Faster. Chris and I also talk about a great little stopmotion video that the children of Chris' friend Jeff Dykhouse put together using iStopMotion, a huge Lego collection, and a firewire controlled camcorder over the course of two months. An amazing accomplishment in an attention-deficit world (video embedded at the end of this post). Today's episode features an interesting interview with Trey Ratcliff. Trey Ratcliff does not need any introduction to visual artists - he is the Jedi Master of HDR photography and the prolific blogger and curator of his website Stuck In Customs. In today's episode, Trey and I talk about a wide range of topics. For filmmakers, Trey discusses his interest in how the human brain responds to high speed video. He has conducted a number of interesting experiments using low cost point-and-shoot cameras that can record video at high frame rates. We delve briefly into the topic of HDR photography and then discuss a number of topics on the "edge" of visual arts. Trey manages to fool me into thinking he has taken up oil painting. Find out how he accomplished that! We move on to the topic of "the decade of the artist" - how business models have changed for visual artists in the 21st century. Trey candidly talks about his business model and why he chose to go the route he did. We share our common interest of the amazing music of Patrick O'Hearn. Trey Ratcliff's insight into visual arts is captivating. We only scratched the surface in this episode. No doubt we can expect more exciting developments from Trey as he continues to push the edge of visual arts.

What is RED's position on the HDSLR video revolution? Where can HDSLR photographers learn more about shooting with RED? Why should cinematographers care about 4K? How does Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premeire Pro CS5 workflow compare for RED footage? Chris and I also share listener questions with Ted. A great episode!
