Cable TV Goes Mobile – HBO Go
The HBO Go app from Time Warner has already produced more than 1 million downloads and it shows no signs of slowing down. The software runs on platforms such as iOS (Apple iPhone and iPad) and Android and allows full access to more than 1400 shows, including full seasons of many of HBOs most popular programs. Response has been mostly positive, and Cinemax Go is currently in development.
Time Warner Cable’s Mobile TV App for iPad Finds Audience
TWCable TV is a new app that lets users watch Time Warner Cable (TWC) channels on their iPads. Having great-looking, HD, live content on a mobile device is certainly a treat, and while the app does not overwhelm with features initially, (new features are coming, which we’ll discuss in a bit) it does a great job of what it sets out to do.
Editing “The Social Network” in Final Cut Pro with Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter
Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter have collaborated with director David Fincher several times before on movies such as “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Zodiac,” but it’s a safe bet neither has seen such momentum and critic/audience praise as the work they did on editing “The Social Network.” The film has been nominated for an Oscar for editing, and both are happy to have contributed to creating a quite remarkable film.
I had a chance to talk with them for a feature article as well as audio interview. We chatted about handling dozens of takes, working with David Fincher, their favorite scenes from the movie “The Social Network”, incorporating the music of Trent Reznor and if they are nervous about Oscar night.
Dropbox Review
Dropbox is one of those handy inventions where the more you use it, the more you come up with reasons to use it. Now if you don’t have access to an online server to share your movie clips and graphics, this just might be the next best thing. Dropbox is a cloud-based file sharing service that syncs file across all your computers, supporting Windows, Mac and Linux. It works with files (video, graphics, text, anything) of any size, and it syncs automatically whenever a new file appears or a change is detected. Best of all, it’s free for a 2GB account.
Apple’s iMovie ’11 – The Final Cut for 2011
It’s funny when I talk to fellow producers and directors in my studio, with large monitors with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 up on the screens, and I ask them how they like iMovie. Sometimes they chuckle, sometimes they have a blank stare, but almost always they have a look of surprise. Well, the joke is usually on them, as iMovie ’11 is one of the most powerful and useful editors on the Mac platform.
