So, I have no idea why people persist in this fantasy game. They were never on the 2009 or 2010 exhibitor’s list and you can’t plan a 1500-3000 seat “user event” at an area ballroom without word getting out. Have these folks been under a rock? Apple swore off trade shows several years ago and there’s no indication this policy has changed. It never ceases to amaze me when I see blog posts and forum comments that seem to expect Apple to pop up out of nowhere at the show with some amazing new version of Final Cut Studio. The following thoughts fall under opinion and observation, so I’m bound to skip a lot of the details that you might really want to know. I would encourage you to check out DV’s “(Almost) Live From the NAB Show Blog” – Part 1 and Part 2. If you want more specific product knowledge about what was on the floor, check out the various NAB reports at Videography, DV, TV Technology, Studio Daily, Post and Pro Video Coalition. So, on the purely subjective metric of how crowded the floor felt, I would have to say that daily averages were much better than 2009. Thursday was still well-attended and not the ghost town I would have expected. Yet, I felt the floor density was higher than the 2009 vs. A bit more than last year – so still a “down” year compared with peaks of a few years ago. Tons of new versions of many of your favorite NLEs, color grading tools and other items. I’m back home now and have had a day to decompress and make a few observations about NAB Convention.įirst off, this was an extremely strong show for post. I always enjoy the show – partly for the new toys – but also to hook up once again, face-to-face, with many friends in the business.

Although I don’t consider myself in the same league as most of these luminaries, I’ve included a few projects of mine, which happen to fit nicely into the world of indie filmmaking. Even Adobe’s tools make several appearances. For those keeping a tally, Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro are well-represented, along with “cameos” by Lightworks. The interviewees were gracious enough to share their experiences with creative challenges and how they leveraged editing technology to get the job done. These interviews cover a wide range of feature film styles. You can click on the “filmmakers” category on the side panel to access these stories, but I’ve aggregated them here for easy access here. I’ve had the good fortune, thanks to my work with Videography and Digital Video magazine, to interview an inspiring collection of some of the best film editors in the world. Further updates will be made on that page. NOTE: This post has been changed into a page on the top header, called “Film Stories”.
