Probably the most interesting conversation I had at NAB was Sunday night at the Independent Filmmakers of the Inland Empire KISS mini-golf event. The setting might have been unique but the problem was not: Now that Final Cut Pro 7 isn’t the default choice for colleges (and high schools) to teach, which NLE do I teach? As the conversation continued it became obvious that there were more factors at work than just taking a punt on which NLE will become the “next FCP 7″.

Why (and How) we need to reinvent ourselves regularly?
5 Comments · Posted by Philip in Business & Marketing, Career
Last Saturday, June 4th, I had the pleasure of sharing a Keynote with Marcelo Lewin at the OC Pro Media Camp. The topic was re-inventing ourselves. This blog post is the essence of what I said in that keynote.
How do we embrace change? Wholeheartedly and with gusto. Change is inevitable. In fact it may be the only true constant. Most people dislike or even fear change, but want things to “get better”.
Fundamentally there are two types of change: Continued Reinvention & Dramatic Reinvention. I’m 55 now and, as best I can count, I’m on my sixth distinct career. Many of those were a slow transition: from being a general, do anything video production company to specializing in training and education production, which lead inevitably to becoming a training design specialist. The transition from Charisma Video Productions – my first Australian company – to Charisma Digital as the first digital post house in Australia’s sixth largest market – was a significant transition, but more evolution than revolution. But the jump from the Intelligent Assistant training tools to Digital Production BuZZ was a complete re-invent.

Interns, Internships and Getting Started http://tinyurl.com/452ta3h Episode 27 of The Terence and Philip Show.
In this episode Terence and Philip are joined by Alpha Dogs’ employee Isai Espinoza in a discussion about the value of Internships to both the employer and the intern, how to get the best out of an internship, and what’s in it for the employer. In typical fashion, this quickly leads to a discussion about breaking into the business, and what it takes to make it.
