Working with the Latest Techniques

In October I had the opportunity to go to the Re:Frame conference in San Fransisco, CA. And while the timing was less than perfect, I was able to hang with some of the best event filmmakers in the industry. In five days I picked up more techniques than I've learned in a year of book and magazine reading or internet search. See my links for some of the current gurus or go to the Re:Frame website.

I've also recently been involved with beta testing using the latest plug-ins from New Blue FX.com. Pretty amazing stuff. Definitely a company in touch with their clients, willing to listen should a problem arise. I've been using their products for a couple of years now and I'm quite pleased with the results. Render times can vary widely, but if there's an effect you need, or perhaps just a fix for a problem, NewBlue has been there to help. To top it off, I've recently been invited to showcase one of my videos on their site... pretty cool!
