2-pop – The Digital Filmmaker’s Resource Site
A writer to the Guardian this week, pointed out the Ben Hammersleys piece “Mac, camera, action! Guardian 5sept02”, was all very well, as far as it goes, but pointed out the existance of this service and website. Think anyone involved in video, should take a look…..
Cut it out – Feedback Re: Mac, Camera, Action (Online, September 5)
Shirts? Pants, more like.
We’re called many things, but mostly “editor” suffices, rather than “Final Cut Pro operator”. Did Ben Hammersley belittle our craft? Surely not. But hey, I’ve just discovered that my video editing Mac has a cute program on it that lets me write words on screen, and move them around to make stuff, and send them to people. Guess that makes me a journalist, maybe even a writer, then.
Mud slinging aside, the impact that affordable digital hardware and software are having on TV and film makers is much closer to home than Hollywood, it’s on your TV screens already. I was helped through the early days by the kind souls on several web boards, primarily http://www.2-pop.com Phil Ashby (Final Cut Pro and Word operator) phila@brightfilament.com
