“Random Lunacy” & “Multi-Camera Rocks!”
The NY Avid User Group presented
RANDOM LUNACY
At our most recent meeting members were able to hear from Vic Zimet who along with writer/producer Stephanie Silber started filming an extraordinary family band called The Flying Neutrinos back in 1986. He explained how he took twenty years of footage and distilled it into a cohesive documentary. Their camera was rolling as they traveled the world, from their exploits in a Mexican circus, to the handmade rafts they built from garbage. One such vessel was tested, improbably, against the Atlantic Ocean.
Multi-Camera Rocks!
Mastering Multi-Camera Editing Workflows
The second half of our program featured Mitch Jacobson who discussed mastering Multi-Camera Editing Workflows. From a simple two-camera interview to an elaborate 26 camera HD concert, multi-cam is being used in more programs than ever before. Mitch Jacobson took us through the basic techniques used to set up a multi-camera project and also examined advanced usage and specialty workflows using clips, project bibles and deliverable requirements from major networks.
Mitch’s award-winning broadcast concert film credits include: Paul McCartney: The Space Within US (2007/HD), Ben Harper Live from Bonnaroo (2007/HD), The Newport Jazz Festival (2006/HD), Aerosmith: You Gotta Move (2005), The Rolling Stones: A Bigger Bang special release CD/DVD (2005) and Paul McCartney in St. Petersburg (2004).
