Thanks to a gentle push by one of our clients, we’ve invested in some new CD/DVD duplication equipment that has greatly enhanced our ability to turn around larger orders for clients. We added a Microboards 7 DVD burner giving us the capacity to burn around 500 to 600 DVDs in a single day! [...]
So a few days ago, I thanked tapeonline for helping us to get the new Microboard 7 DVD burner in here. Cranked out 400 DVDs in about 4 or 5 hours. When the printer went belly up I just called Lauren at TapeOnline and just asked her to recommend a printer. She suggested the Microboards [...]
Ok, not a new record for many of you out there, but I think it’s amusing with so many discussions all around the Creative Cow about how “tape is dead,” “DVD is dead” “BluRay is dead” here we are purchasing a bunch of equipment for quick turnaround DVD production. We cranked out 400 DVDs in [...]
In response to the emails I’ve been getting over the past few weeks, I went back and dug out that Sherwin Williams paint recommendation again. It was suggested to some folks we work with as an alternative to GTI Munsell N 8. This is most likely the color I’ll be using in all our new [...]
Any longtime member of the Creative Cow forums might recall some…. well how shall I describe them…. let’s say, “difference of opinion” discussions between BlackMagic Design’s Grant Petty and myself. It got to the point where I was politely (well maybe not so politely) asked to refrain from posting in the BMD forum. To be [...]
So yesterday I get a call that a client requires 400 DVDs to be shipped from Atlanta to Scottsdale, Arizona in just 7 days. As in they must arrive in 7 days. Here’s the catch. Until the end of the day TODAY I was still editing that project requiring the 400 DVDs! We take a [...]
A lot of folks have been asking me about this and a recent post on Twitter reminded me to go ahead and update you folks on some of what we plan to have in the new facility. Well first off, still running Apple’s Final Cut Pro. At the moment it still serves our needs however [...]
We got the opportunity to play with a brand new Panasonic AG-HPX370 HD camera. This camera features the incredible AVC-Intra codec and the price is only around $10,000 with the lens! It’s essentially the baby brother of the Varicam, shooting on 1/3″ chips instead of 2/3″. Fujinon sent us a beautiful wide angle lens to [...]
Wooooooooo, this is what I was talking about the other day when I said they had some neat things coming from FSI very shortly. You can now control your FSI monitors using an iPad or iPhone! “What do you mean control?” you say? I mean every single button, knob and menu can be controlled using [...]
Visited the FSI offices on Friday (they’re only 15 minutes from my office) where they showed me some new tools they will be implementing very shortly. Can’t quite tell you what they are yet until they make the official announcements, but they’re added convenience for the end user. That’s what I love about these guys. [...]
