In this special episode of Focus Check, Nino Leitner is joined by cinematographer and educator Tal Lazar, known for his work with AFI, Columbia University, Sundance, and MZed. Together, they dive deep into what it really takes to become a visual storyteller in today's rapidly changing film industry. Can cinematography truly be taught? Is film school still worth the cost? Why do we obsess over gear when storytelling is the goal? And how can filmmakers bridge the intimidating gap between creativity and technology? Tal shares insightful and often provocative thoughts on education, collaboration, and why the best cinematographers are also great communicators. He also talks about his highly rated MZed courses (The Art & Science of Lenses, Cinematography for Directors and The Language of Lighting), his new podcast VISIUM, and his upcoming book The Language of Cinematography.

Tune into this week's podcast episode in which Nino explores the professional capabilities of iOS and iPadOS, focusing on the new iPad Pro with the M4 chip and Final Cut Pro for iPad. He also talks about a review Johnnie did on the TEAMGROUP T-CREATE CinemaPr P31 Portable SSD, and much more. Wait until the end to get more info on MZed's Summer Sale that ends on July 4! In the latest episode of our CineD podcast “Focus Check”, Nino discusses whether iOS and iPadOS are ready for professional use, focusing on the new iPad Pro with Apple's M4 chip and its performance with Final Cut Pro for iPad. Despite the iPad Pro's impressive hardware, such as its excellent OLED screen and innovative wireless connectivity for live streaming from iPhones, iPadOS's limitations still hinder its full potential for professional workflows. The iPad Pro's screen quality is the best Nino has seen, and emphasizes its bright OLED display. However, he pointed out significant software limitations, like the absence of background processes and a restricted file system, which prevent the device from fully supporting professional editing and multitasking. In the podcast, Nino also reviewed industry updates, including the DaVinci Resolve 19 public beta. This update features live sync from cameras, allowing editors to work on footage while it's being recorded, thus streamlining workflows using Blackmagic Cloud. Additionally, as you may know, we enjoy reviewing filmmaking tools for you - this week, Johnnie put the TEAMGROUP T-CREATE CinemaPr P31 Portable SSD to the test. Also, Nino talks about the Ignite DGX's control deck for DJI transmission, which enhances camera operator control. FUJIFILM announced firmware updates for several cameras, adding new film simulations and improving functionality, showing their ongoing support for existing products. Stay tuned until the end to learn about big discounts on MZed's educational content, especially the DaVinci Resolve 18.5 course that offers comprehensive training for aspiring filmmakers.

人類學同好的對談好開心啊!身為同樣受到印度薰陶 (?) 的人聊起來就是特別開心。游媁婷當初失戀後心一橫要跟過去的自己 say bye bye,一言不合就飛到北印度拜師學古典樂舞,想不到北印度樂舞的師徒制教學傳承,似乎超出大家的想像? 北印度古典樂舞,不是可以單用「舞」、「音樂」或是「戲劇」來定義,而是三位一體,舞中有音樂、樂中有戲、戲中有舞,相輔相成密不可分。在古典樂舞的演出中,每位表演者都身兼數職,用各種不同方式融入表演的氛圍中。北印度古典樂舞的曲風、使用的樂器更是我們平常所不熟悉,像是沙洛德琴、西塔琴等,光是弦一撥下去整個氣場就出來了,所營造的空間感無可比擬。 收聽單集,跟 Ikram 走一趟到北印度學習古典樂舞! - Ikram 的北印度樂舞文化劇場(印度文化工作室) https://vocus.cc/user/@ikram 潛入你的聽覺,再滲透至精神層面的韻律、意境與情感! 沙洛德琴大師——阿傑德.阿里.汗《印度迴響》 4.12 (FRI.) 19:30|國家音樂廳 ➤https://bityl.co/MzEd
