It’s been a crazy week; can anyone tell? But I found some great things to share!
Indy Mogul - the perfect site for anyone interested in starting out in filmmaking or animation using no-nonsense (and low budget) tricks and tips. These guys are serious; they just got back from Sundance Film Festival and video blogged a bunch of it! They also have video tips for how to do special effects(like ripping the beating heart out of a victim “a la Indiana Jones & Temple of Doom”). I’m sure you can use that soon… (Thanks Audiogeek Zine)
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may soon have to police your downloading habits. This is due to increased pressure from content owners to control illegal downloading. If only the RIAA had thought of this sooner… (Thanks, Future of Music Blog). In the meantime, the European Courts say that ISPs don’t have to disclose file sharers (via Hypebot); so if you can’t catch the birds, chop down the tree?
Marc Cohen’s Ad-supported Music Central reacts to the Qtrax fiasco. Good one, Marc!
Andrew Dubber discusses the boundaries of the new music industry (or lack thereof). (New Music Strategies).
Guitar Flame shares a video from what has to be the world’s youngest fingerstyle guitar player. Nice one.
ProMedia reminds us how to use the Xpand! plug-in as a metronome in Pro Tools.
Protooler reviews a free online sound source (did someone say “Free?”) for film, radio and tv sfx.
Wire-to-the-Ear makes me feel 100 years old as he shows y’all how we used to do things.
Didn’t find anything interesting, yet? Then check out my wife’s latest zombie video review…
Guess what Santa’s bringing the media industry this Christmas? An affirmation that intellectual property has specific ownership and rights that supercede what some say is a public’s right to free content. Read more about USB’s acceptance of DRM checks for video content. This means that Hollywood and multimedia developers can hope for a brighter future (unless you believe a hack is already being developed).

What happens if the pirates win?
Got 43 minutes? Artistshousemusic.org has posted a great video interview of Chris Scarabosio, Skywalker Sound’s lead sound designer. He talks about recording techniques, his work on films and tv series, and using Pro Tools. Actually, there are several videos by Chris on this site; a worthy visit for anyone considering sound design as a career.
After learning about Armanda Costanza Inc. opening a branch office in Montgomery, I wondered what might be going on in the world of film-making to spur such a move. After doing a bit of research, I’ve concluded that I need to start lobbying for matching incentives here in our state. We have more to offer and could be reaping millions of dollars in industry spending & employment opportunities!
