Getting it done!

I really need to buckle down and write out some of the things I want to do in the future. I have all these story ideas and business ideas and I think they are all doable, if I start making some effort into writing them down or drawing them out. I know in the end it needs to be me that takes these steps, but I'm not good at the sitting down stuff. I like being on the go and constantly doing things (activities).

So how do I buckle down and get it done?

RED Camera

It's funny how the RED can't keep itself off my blog!

Right now I'm working on a feature length indie film in Allentown. I'm the assembly editor and I'm having a blast with it. The funny thing is that they are shooting on the RED camera. I have to say that as far as post is concerned the RED makes this very easy.

There is no converting of footage. You have 4 different sized files you can work with and therefore, there isn't a slowing down of your processing speed. As far as latitude with color - I'm not really sure you can need much more. I can understand why the RED has such a niche in the indie market.

Filmmakers beware - the camera will not "make" your film. You still need to take the time to setup amazing shots.
