So when referencing Physics, Chemistry or English-Lit you will see some cringes on the faces of various Biscardi Creative Media team members. Fortunately an understanding of advanced microbiology wasn’t needed for our most recent recognition. The BBB (Better Business Bureau) just listed us as a business with an A+ rating. What does that mean? It …
Hi, my name is Kylee and I’m not sure I could find my way home right now without a GPS. It’s not that I’m directionally challenged. You see, I just moved here and before now my biggest relocation was about 60 miles south of the house I spent my entire life in. Now I’m in …
About a year ago I posted one of my most popular articles, “Anatomy of an Edit Suite” where I detailed everything that’s in our edit suites and why. In the interim we’ve ditched Final Cut Pro 7 in favor of Adobe Premiere Pro, added our first Dell Windows Workstation, and have strongly been considering iMacs …
UPDATED: 6/25: VTR success and Workstations at the bottom. A continuation on my “Cautionary Tales of an FCP Switcher.” Getting Caught Up on our Series As mentioned at the end of the original article, we moved our PBS series over the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 with the reasoning that if we had to flatten a …
UPDATED WITH CORRECTED MATH. See, this is why I’m an editor, not a mathematician!

For the past several years, Biscardi Creative Media has been working with Producers Gary Strieker and David Lindsay on their series of news reports titled, “Global Health Frontline News.” They go after the stories that regular, mainstream media just isn’t covering for whatever reason to make sure that global health concerns are not being …
By now you’ve heard that Wes Plate has joined the Adobe Product Marketing Team. For those who might not know exactly who this guy is, he’s been “the guy” in the industry for years who has made various production tools talk to each other. And not just a simple, “move parts of my projects into …
CreativeCow.net has published my latest article about where the Post Production industry stands today. It’s been a few months since the Final Cut Pro 10 roll-out and we now have 1 update from Apple. So where are we today? Did Everything Change In Post? - a new article from CreativeCow.
Well, I got burned by a very large “gotcha” when exporting a project for color grading in Apple Color. The project was a 10 minute story for a broadcast series, all shot P2, 1080i / 29.97. I edited in an AJA 1080i / 29.97 timeline with all the native material. At the end of the …
