The nightmarish Deep State vision for the future is more horrific than most can even imagine as technology advances, warns author and The New American publisher Dennis Behreandt in this episode of Behind The Deep State with host Alex Newman. Behreandt, who wrote the new book End Game: Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-digital ... The post Deep State End Game: Bio-digital Convergence & Transhumanism appeared first on The New American.
Dennis Behreandt is a writer, the publisher of The New American magazine, and author of Endgame- Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-Digital Convergence in a Transhumanist World.--Covid-19 has been the agent for a massive transformation of our society and the freedoms and individual rights we hold dear. Consider all that's unfolded in the government's response to COVID. We have been told which businesses were essential and which were not. The government response has forever impacted our economy, our transportation systems, our energy infrastructure, our educational institutions, our health care system, our free exercise of religion, the censorship of free speech, and a desire for control never before witnessed by many in our lifetime.--Dennis speaks of the 3-fold guiding ideological beliefs behind those in power- 1- The belief that humankind, collectively, is fundamentally flawed, but could be improved by eliminating the flawed and perfecting the rest. 2- There are too many people in the world and this puts the world at risk. 3- New technologies will create new hordes of unnecessary -nonessential- people.--Our guest today addresses these and other issues in his book, End Game- Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-Digital Convergence in a Transhumanist World.

In this special episode, we discuss the latest executive order #14081. What is in this order that will change all of our lives? Have we been consulted? Who will be involved? Also, is it just relegated to the US? Who else will be involved in this venture to rewrite humanity? Will it be the same people who were and are responsible for the COVID crisis? And, what does this mean for you? Will you now get updates just like software? Is this the dawn of transhumanism? We ask the questions.

Con un'esperienza pluriennale in ambito digitale, ha maturato significative esperienze nel settore e-commerce per i più importanti team calcistici: FC Juventus, AC Milan, ACF Fiorentina, Torino Calcio, U.C. Sampdoria. Ha ricoperto ruoli di responsabilità e gestito risorse e progetti online per centinaiadi piccole e medie imprese. Rimasto affascinato dal mobile, dai social e dall'intelligenza artificiale ha deciso di farne l'elemento centrale della sua professione. È organizzatore del Digital Convergence.https://www.convergentmarketing.it/https://www.digitalconvergenceday.com/Tra i mille effetti della diffusione capillare degli smartphone (siamo il popolo più “smanettone” d'Europa) c'è anche quello di aver definitivamente pensionato l'inbound marketing, storicamente costruito su misura per una dimensione desktop. La proposizione, creata nel 2004, era quella di creare contenuti attrattivi in grado di convincere i potenziali clienti a “visitare” l'azienda. Ma oggi è tutto molto diverso. In Italia ogni giorno 33,8 milioni di utenti si connettono almeno una volta al giorno al web, di cui 29 milioni da mobile (fonte Audiweb, giugno 2020), poco meno del 50% della popolazione totale. L'89% degli utenti è presente sui social network. E le conversazioni digitali sono in aumento: 2 miliardi i messaggi scambiati ogni mese tra persone e brand, con il 56% degli utenti che preferiscono la rapidità del messaggio al classico servizio clienti e il 53% che preferisce acquistare da “brand che conversano” (fonte Facebook).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Vijay also explains how Technology Service Providers like HCL have been instrumental in driving the digital agendas of both digital natives and digital migrants, as well as the different ways that HCL has been partnering with their customers across verticals and translating their know-how into tangible business value. Vijay also delves into the nuances of catering to customers in different verticals, especially in the post-pandemic era, where digital transformation and digital technologies have taken center stage.

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!
planetMitch and Barry Andersson just went to the best film school ever: they pooled their money and resources, grabbed a couple of brand new Canon 5D Mark III's, lined up a stellar cast of actors and actresses, and shot a movie.Incident on Marmont Avenue is loosely based on a true story that happened to Digital Convergence co-host Chris Fenwick (you can read about the actual event here on Chris' website). planetMitch talks about how he and Barry came up with the idea, how they were able to secure top talent to appear in their movie, and why they told the story as they did.
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.
Creativity on a budget is the theme of this week's episode of the Digital Convergence podcast. We talk about two low budget films that prove to be a good antidote to the toxins of stratospherically high priced gear and software that have unfortunately dominated our conversations on this podcast for a while. Join Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and I as we talk about how creativity does not need a gazillion dollars of gear and software. The first film is titled The Camera by Peter Lewis. Peter says that this film was "largely born from its constraints. It had to be doable in my free time, and I had to be able to shoot it during my vacation... with a budget of only $50 to cover the props." The props included an old Polaroid camera that reveals more than is seen. The second movie is called Copelandia by Luke Neuman. This movie is more than a test of the new Canon 5D Mark III. With just a little grading and a judicious bit of 35 film grain added, Luke has created an engaging movie full of twists and surprises. The film was shot with Nikor primes - something I like to do with my 5D Mark II. The Nikor lenses have a creamy, warmer look than the cooler L glass of Canon. Until next week, that's a wrap!
While battling bandwidth issues that take us back to the nostalgic days of dial-up, the Digital Convergence podcasting team bravely soldier on and press the record button and we thus spring upon our loyal listeners: episode 67 "4K For 10K?" Chris Fenwick, planetMitch and I talk about the latest announcement from Sony: the new NEX FS700. The NEX-FS700 is touted as a 4K-ready NXCAM camcorder with a superior Super35mm CMOS sensor, super slow-motion capability and an interchangeable E-mount lens system, offering unrivalled flexibility and creative expression. The real question is, 4K at what cost? The camera is reportedly available for under $10,000, but there is no information on how much the 4K upgrade will be or when it will be available. Then the conversation melts down as we we all just implode from the tediousness of the endless onslaught of gear and specks. This episode really touches on a lot of different topics and as usual we go off on several tangents. We discuss videos going viral (or mostly not), selecting music for videos, hiring big name Hollywood talent, median versus average and what it means in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report Film and Video Editors and Camera Operators, and much more. We wrap up the show with two artist pick of the week and few product or info tips that we hope you will find useful. We've been getting some great feedback from our listeners. Please keep it coming. In fact, if there is a topic you would like for us to explore, please send me a message here. One final favor... we want to double the number of our subscribers. To that end, we ask each of our listeners to please refer the Digital Convergence podcast to at least one of your friends or colleagues. Our podcast made it to the "What's Hot" list in iTunes - thanks to our listeners and new subscribers. Chris, planetMitch and I thank you so much for supporting the podcast. I also want to thank CrumplePop for sponsoring our show. Until next week, that's a wrap!
While I was out "gigging", the Digital Convergence podcast team carried on! I want to thank to Chris Fenwick,planetMitch, and Barry Anderson for conducting an interesting discussion while I was out in the field. The Digital Convergence panel launches into a discussion on the sunsetting of 16mm movie cameras in film school as reported to us by a listener of the podcast. Talk about convergence timing... planetMitch reports on the latest Kickstarter sensation, the Digital Bolex 2K Raw video camera. Is this camera too good to be true? The conversation then turns to the craft of shooting video with an eye towards editing. After a shoot, do you have everything you need to tell the story? Do you have enough b-roll? Close-ups and extreme close-ups? The show wraps up with what I think are two very good excellent choices for featured artists. The team did a great job with the podcast today. Pardon the audio quality as Chris was in an airport getting ready to catch a plane. To me that's a really cool indication of how far technology has come. We can pretty much record our podcast anywhere! Until next week, that's a wrap!
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!
In episode 54 of the Digital Convergence podcast Chris Fenwick and Carl Olson talk about the recent announcements from Canon and RED.
Last Wednesday evening I attended the Atlanta Cutters meeting at Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta. There I had the opportunity to meet and listen to Patrick Belden - sound designer and composer for Alton Brown'sGood Eats. Patrick did a fascinating presentation about his sound design work on Good Eats using Avid's ProTools. Patrick Belden's presentation got me thinking about recording live sound, sound design, and sound processing. What can I do to improve my videos' sound? Just how can I get that "Hollywood" sound? How should I get organized for handling audio? What workflow should I follow? I put these questions to Chris Fenwick. A lively discussion ensues about all things audio. Audio in video production is such a huge topic - covering field recording, studio recording, sound design, foley, music and scoring, microphones, monitoring equipment, mixing, audio processing and more. Obviously we only begin to scratch the surface of audio in this episode of Digital Convergence.
Episode 50 of the Digital Convergence Podcast, featuring founder and host, Carl Olson, along with cohost Chris Fenwick, Mitch "planetMitch" Aunger, and Paul Antico (of NeedCreative.net).
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?
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 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 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 32 - In this episode Chris Fenwick and I talk with employee #1 of RED Digital Cinema: Ted Schilowitz. Ted talks with us about the Scarlet and EPIC cameras from RED. What is variable HDR - an intriguing feature recently announced for EPIC - promising over 13 stops dynamic range? Will variable HDR be available for Scarlet? When will Scarlet ship? 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! Ted was a fine guest and we are going to be inviting him back soon to dig into more details about EPIC and Scarlet. Just not enough time in one episode to talk about all the great things the RED team is doing. This episode of the Digital Convergence podcast is also the first episode where I have the privilege of working with a co-host. Chris Fenwick is a post-production expert and accomplished filmmaker and photographer. With several years of experience in the industry, his opinions and insights are a welcome addition to this and future episodes of this podcast.
Episode 31 - Featuring Red Giant Software, Letus Direct and Robert Benson - on the Digital Convergence Podcast by 16x9 Cinema with host Carl Olson - a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. You can find us on the web at 16x9cinema.com and on Twitter as 16x9cinema.

Episode 13 of the Digital Convergence Podcast by 16x9 Cinema with host Carl Olson - a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Within every Hollywood film is a love story. Our guest for this episode of the Digital Convergence podcast is a filmmaker who has pioneered the development of the wedding concept film: Kevin Shahinian of Pacific Pictures. Kevin has a talent for making a documented event look as if it had been scripted, staged, and produced by a Hollywood movie studio. Viewing Kevin's work on the Pacific Pictures Vimeo channel, you can readily see that Kevin is a master of producing concept films in a number of different genres. His productions range from Bollywood comedy / musicals to intense thrillers (with a happy ending of course!). Recently, Kevin undertook the ambitious challenge of merging a wedding concept film with documenting the actual wedding event. Teaming up with an amazing and talented film crew - including Patrick Moreau (Stillmotion), Joe Simon (Joe Simon Wedding Films and featured in Episode 4 of the Digital Convergence podcast), and Casey Warren (MIND|Castle Studios) - Kevin set off to Udaipur, India, to the breathtaking region of Rajasthan. This area is also known as the "City of Lakes." Entirely shot using video DSLR's (Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D), "City of Lakes" was filmed entirely on location during the 3 day long wedding event. In this episode Kevin talks with me about the challenges of producing "City of Lakes. Were the results worth it? "City of Lakes" premiered for the first time at NAB 2010 in Las Vegas. Kevin talks about the positive reaction to the film. He talks about those who were present for the premiere and their reaction to his work. Kevin talks about why he chose to use video DSLRs to shoot this film and the challenges inherent to the format. "City of Lakes" will be released in full on Pacific Pictures' website on Friday, April 23. Kevin was in the process of encoding and uploading "City of Lakes" as we spoke for a few minutes about him and his work. It was indeed a treat talking with Kevin. No doubt we'll be seeing more from this talented story teller and cinematographer!
