Big Development in HDDSLR Workflow: Timecode (or very close to.)

This is a pretty huge development for me in terms of my post workflow with the new breed of HDDSLR cameras - so I hope that many of you too willx be excited with the upcoming piece of software from Glue Tools.

I know that the developer has been working on this for quite awhile - and I’ve been waiting to share the news for a release candidate to be on the horizon.   (Check the Glue Tools website for updates on pricing and availability - don’t ping me - I’m just reviewing the beta at this time and announcing it)

Of course - this workflow only applies to Mac people and Final Cut Pro users at this point.   But for those who do use FCP - this is a very very nice solution that will solve many problems for a lot of folks.

So what does this plugin software do?  Well on a basic level - it’s “simply” a Final Cut Pro “Log and Transfer” plugin.   Stick a disk in - launch FCP - and open the Log and Transfer menu up and you’ll be greeted with the familiar FCP menu here. (more…)

Jim Denevan's 2009 Land Drawing in Nevada is pretty gorgeous - shot by Peter Hinson.

I wanted to point out some pretty powerful artwork by Jim Denevan.

Truth be told - Jim contacted me a few months ago and asked if I might be interested in coming out to document some of his works from the air and I had a work conflict and could not make it.  I have to say that I regret not being able to make it now even more as I see how beautifully it turned out  - shot here by Peter Hinson.

Check out their work here - and enjoy what is a very very cool way to express oneself - and something that even “the Gods” would enjoy from above I’m sure.

As someone who does a fair bit of aerial work - this is a feast for my eyes.

p.s. anyone who rides around in Elvis’ old bus - doubly cool by my standards.
