Lock Your Post Production Doors! Good Hard Working People Are Knockin'
Luci and I are producing a new series with Magnet Media for Zoom-In Online. We're producing 12 episodes (season 1) of the most entertaining post-production-tech-geek-fun that can be found on the Internet.
I know that's a big claim, but we just shot our pilot and I started editing it today - it's going to be great. The plan is to tour the most exclusive, highest profiled, post-production and studio spaces. We'll examine their gear under a microscope making sure the hype and budget is all what they say it is. And we've got the guy to do it.
I'm sure he knows what this is a picture of (I don't. I just thought it looked tech-y) and not only that, he probably knows what piece of equipment would be newer, better and faster.
Our host is Evan Schechtman, the boy genius who dropped out of film school to open Outpost Digital and eventually sold to @Radical Media before he was 23. He claims he can't be out-teched. From what I've seen, not only does he know his gear, but he can recite model numbers and specs for minutes at a time without breaking stride. On top of all that, Evan has impeccable comic timing and camera presence. He's a natural and we have great things planned for him.
He really won me over while pointing to an array of 10, 500 GB LaCie back-up drives, Evan said, "...These things might as well have an expiration date on them. It's like playing Russian Roulette with your data." I couldn't agree more. (SEE MY EARLIER RANT/POST)
The release date for the series is still to be determined, but be sure that when it is, I'll be blogging all about it. We're very excited with this new venture with Magnet Media. We all feel like it's the beginning of a great relationship.
And here's something funny from Black20. This is the episode that hooked me for good.
