@jessekoepkecuts Every project I’m on has a delivery date. Most everything I do is short format so each job will run anywhere from a few days to a month. I look at the end date and back time my reviews from there. So, I’ll say “I’ll have something for you to look at in X amount of time.”
Last week I kept promising a content edit by a certain time.
The studio wasn’t setting the deadlines. I was. But I kept missing them, which makes me look unreliable.
The new phrase I’m memorizing: “Let me get into it and I’ll keep you posted.”
@jessekoepkecuts Usually I like to leave the gaps or place on track above if it’s an add. Anything to avoid working backwards, I guess. 🤷🏻♂️😂 It’s a solid method tho.
Congratulations to ILM’s Brett Northcutt on becoming a 2022 Concept Art Awards finalist in the Live Action Series: Environment category for his work on "Macduff's Castle” in The Tragedy of Macbeth for @AppleTVPlus!
@MichaelSKNeel@johnwashburn@EditorsKeys I used FCPX for years and it was great. I still use it when I need to go back to older projects. Moved to Resolve a couple years ago.
@JoshHelfferich@2trina8@tvaziri@EditorsKeys FCPX is still a great NLE; it really just depends on what your needs are. That said, I’m 100% Resolve these days. To be fair, the last time I used Premiere professionally was 1997.
What a world we tweet in where Sony can drop this 4K super-35 s-log 120 fps eye-tracking-autofocus beast of a pocket cinema camera for US$1800 and my timeline has been crickets.

About the only ding I’ve seen against it is that the shutter speed is expressed like a stills camera (1/50 sec) rather than in degrees like a proper cinema camera.
Quite posssibly the coolest career moment for me yet: cutting a 26 minute reel of 10 years worth of work, including every stunning show @ilmvfx Vancouver has ever worked on and watching it on the jumbotron surrounded by the most talented people in the biz 🤩
