In this episode, I talk with Terence Curren, a Colorist and Online Editor in Los Angeles. He’s known for unscripted television shows like Project Runway, True Life, Ghost Hunters, and many others. He got his start at the well known post facility, Matchframe Video, as employee number one. At Matchframe, he was one of the first editors in LA to work with Avid Media Composer, Symphony, and DS. And to this day, he still colors and finishes his shows on a Symphony. In 2002, after 16 years at Matchframe, he moved on to starting his own company, Alphadogs. Many LA post production professionals are familiar with Alphadogs from their monthly meet ups called The Editor’s Lounge. It’s been a hub for people to learn about new technologies, directly ask vendors questions, and socialize with other pros. It’s been a great resource for over 13 years and I’ve personally learned a ton from attending them. In this interview, we talk about: How his start in editing affects his approach to color Running his own business from a colorist’s perspective The commoditization of post production gear and how it changed the business How and why the monthly Editor’s lounge started Using an Avid in color workflows and why they can save time A history lesson on the Avid DS and why it was killed His thoughts on groups for colorists and how they can bring change Baselight as a plugin within Avid Using the keyboard and Wacom tablet instead of a panel Alphadogs http://www.alphadogs.tv Editor’s Lounge http://www.editorslounge.com IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192914/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Twitter https://twitter.com/terencecurren This episode is sponsored by mixinglight.com.

Just weeks ago 20th Century Fox released a trailer for the upcoming horror film "Morgan," and frankly it's not the best trailer. So then why is it worth talking about? The reason it has made such an impact on our industry is that the trailer was edited partially with the assistance of artificial intelligence, namely the IBM system 'Watson.' What does this mean for our future in this industry? And more importantly, what does this mean for your job specifically? In this episode I have an in-depth conversation with Philip Hodgets and Terence Curren. Philip is the president of both Intelligent Assistance, Inc and Lumberjack System, Inc. He is an expert in pre-post, metadata-assisted editing and metadata-based post production workflows, and he’s also the author of the HD Survival Handbook.

Listen in to learn what you should be focusing on in your career development if you intend to still have a job in the next 5-10 years that won't be replaced by artificial intelligence. And if you're thinking 'Skynet' right about now...you're not far off.
