Digital Production BuZZ


Nov 22, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving

Join Larry Jordan and Michael Horton this week as they talk with:

Douglas Sloan, Director, iContent Films

The photo is famous: a Vietnamese general shooting a Viet Cong during the Viet Nam war. Taken by photographer Eddie Adams, this one image changed the direction of the war. Filmmaker Douglas Sloan created a documentary about that image – and discovered that what it shows is only a part of the story. We talk with him this week about the power of a photograph, the back-story behind the image, and why he created his documentary: Saigon68.

David Newman, Senior Director of Software Engineering, GoPro

GoPro cameras are everywhere, but they don’t get a lot of respect. This week, we talk with David Newman, Senior Director of Software Engineering for GoPro, about their cameras and the latest update to the line: the Silver and Black Editions. For filmmakers looking for more image quality and control, these new cameras are worth a look, as David explains.

Elena Miliaresis, Filmmaker, “While Time Stands Still”

We’ve been following Elena Miliaresis on her journey as a first-time filmmaker as she works on “While Time Stands Still,” a documentary about the families of military personnel who are left behind when their soldier-spouse goes to war. Production is complete, and she is now in the middle of her final sound mix. We thought it would be a good time to check back to learn what we as producers, directors and editors need to know to prepare for a sound mix.

Rich Kwiat, Co-founder/Managing Director, Doddle and David Plant, Founder, Doddle/Canada

Doddle is a website devoted to saving filmmakers time. Whether it is their daily newsletter, or their Cloud-based production services, they have a range of new technology that can save filmmakers time, money and resources. In this interview, with Rich Kwiat, Managing Director of Doddle, and David Plant, co-Founder of Doddle/Canada, we talk about their recent expansion into Canada, their latest product offerings, and how transitioning from paper to the web can save producers thousands of dollars for each production.
