My signed copies of Dean Goodine’s book “They Don’t Pay Me to Say No” have arrived and some lucky students in the #SAIT Film and Video programme are going to win (earn) a copy over the next couple semesters. As Dean is a former SAIT student it seems entirely appropriate. #film

Tuesday at #Banff2022 is a busy day despite the rain, the leaking roofs, and the residual from last nights BBQ. This session is standing room only.

[Calgary FCPUG @cgyfcpug]

#BANFF2022 Amazing to be back, awesome to reconnect and meet new working partners. Great sessions but get there early or this could be your seat.

#Avid has released updated #Nexis support for #AppleSilicon and #OSMonterey with v2022.5.0 which is great as we are expanding the Film and Video program at #SAIT

@AdobeVideo Drop frame 29.97 means playhead cannot be on minute not divisible by ten NOT that duration cannot be set to a minute. Get help!

[Calgary FCPUG @cgyfcpug]

Hey @AdobeVideo Please hire someone who understands timecode. Note that 23.98=23.976=23.976023… There is no such thing as Drop Frame @ 23.98

Well as disappointing as the cancellation of another #NABSHOW2021 is, though it is clearly the right call, here is hoping we can all get together next spring. I am really needing my #NABShow fix!

I am honoured to be a delegate representing #IATSE Local 212 at the District 12 Convention and the 69th IATSE International (and my 2nd) Quadrennial Convention. It is with pride I see the very progressive motions that have been passed at this convention. #TogetherWeRise

@PoweredbyOWC That’s a tough question. Including my first Apple IIe somewhere around 10 (not counting the ones I have collected for my museum). As to my favourite I will always have a special place in my heart for my Colour Classic. Woefully underpowered but it still allowed me to do so much.

@Chealion Ask yourself why these anti-mask protesters are not being charged under the recently introduced Bill 1? Or is this law only applicable to protests the government does not agree with? The current Alberta government is clearly ideologically motivated.

Contacted about borrowing old computers from my museum as set dec in film. #Macintosh Plus (1986), #Apple Apple IIgs (1987), #Apple Apple IIe (1983). They all work, including the 5.5" DOS boot disk for the Apple IIe.

Hey, they don't make #computer s like that anymore.

Excellent perspective on the case, or lack therof, being made by Epic against Apple.

@reneritchie @leolaporte @alexlindsay
For a fantastic, easy to understand, legal explanation of the Epic legal actions against Apple/Google check out “Virtual Legality” by Hoeg Law. Reminds me of TWiL. Already 3 episodes on Epic’s moves.

[NAB Show @NABShow]

NAB has come to the difficult but unavoidable conclusion that we cannot reschedule the 2020 @NABShow this year. We will be unveiling a new digital offering called NAB Show Express, and will also be enhancing the NAB Show New York this fall. #NABShow

@Alex4D I am a firm believer in the aspirational nature of the adoption of software. Adobe and Avid are telling the post-production world about the films cut on their platforms. At the college I teach at the students learn PP, MC, and now DR. Not FCPX. The college doesn’t see the demand.

If you have never attended #AvidConnect #NABShow then this is the year you should go. Check out the promo video and see what I have to say about it. #postproduction

Notes from the Edit Suite: Dear Producer, thanks for the notes, especially the "is that the best take?" questions. I had totally gone the wrong direction choosing the most mediocre takes. I will go with your suggestion and start using the best takes. Thx

Notes from the Edit Suite: Dear DOP, sure, "Every frame's a Rembrandt" but what I actually need is just a shot of the hero exiting the room; 2 seconds is all. No dolly. No crane. No zoom. Just leaving the room. Thx.
