Episode 69 of The Terence and Philip Show has us discussing how we adapt to change, as change is inevitable.
Month: July 2015
Peter Wiggins is a freelance editor who has been using Final Cut Pro for broadcast since 2003. He runs the successful FCP plugin website iDustrial Revolution and he is the force behind FCP.co.
Peter joined us for lunch in San Jose during the recent FCP X Creative Summit.
For the Lunch with Philip and Greg project we shoot 4K and extract 1080 out of the larger image (or scale the image down). Working on the edit of the next to be published, this very moment shows why I find a big advantage in 4K for acquisition.
You can see from the multicam thumbnail why I wanted to crop this image, even though the shot on Greg is the best choice for that moment. And yes, cutting around eating is one of the early challenges of this project. We’re developing better strategies as we gain experience.

Technology only moves Forward
In a new blog post Seth Godin makes the point:
Any useful technology that’s successfully adopted by a culture won’t be abandoned. Ever. (Except by top-down force).
The technology might be replaced by a better alternative, but society doesn’t go backwards.
I could not agree more. The value in knowing is to adapt quickly to changes to better position yourself for the future.

Lunch with Philip and Greg
A little background to our latest project. Greg and I take people we think are interesting out to lunch, and record it. Our first video will go up shortly, but I thought I’d run through the background first.
