Click on this link to see the trailer to Jamie's new film "WHO IS J.O.B?" That I collaborated on with him (in part) earlier this year.

So here’s an update on the Jamie O’Brien collaboration.   I’m real excited to have been a part of this project with Jamie – a lot of others contributed to this film of course to be clear – I’ve known Jamie for almost a year now and he’s been hard at work on this video for close to three years.

We spent a month together earlier this year and shot a bunch of aerial, surf, underwater and interview footage over that period.

I hope you enjoy this trailer.  Looking forward to pushing the envelope as much as possible with this project… more to come…

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. Read the rest of this entry »

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.
