Ken Burns: “All Story is Manipulation”

March 18, 2013 By Eric Reagan

[vimeo https://vimeo.com/40972394 w=640&h=360]

“All story is manipulation.”

I love this quote from Ken Burns.

Jean-Luc Godard said “Photography is truth, and cinema is truth 24 times per second.” Ken Burns turns that on its head with his perspective on storytelling, along with his personal inspiration in the stories he chooses to tell.

And it rings so true – even in our photos. We manipulate the audience/viewer based on the story we decide to share – be it a single frame or a feature length production. Regardless of the facts present, we are manipulating those facts based on the facts we choose to include. Whether it is framing, crop, spoken words or something else, our creative vision shapes the stories we tell.

FxFactory 4.0 Adds Support for Adobe Premiere Pro

November 15, 2012 By Eric Reagan

FxFactory 4.0 is now available and adds support for Adobe Premiere Pro.  The plug-in management program has been a great tool for using with FCP X, Motion, FCP 7 and After Effects; however, the one video editing program that I use the most hasn’t been supported and, as a result, I’ve not been able to take advantage of so many cool video plug-ins.  But now it is.

FxFactory 4.0 is a free download and there are a few free plug-ins that are available with it.  Additional plug-ins are available for trial and purchase with integration inside of FxFactory.

You can download FxFactory 4.0 from Noise Industries’ website.

Red Giant’s ‘Form 17’ is Multicam Mayhem to Show Off PluralEyes 3

October 12, 2012 By Eric Reagan

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/48853502 w=640&h=360]

Red Giant’s latest short, Form 17, takes on a 14-page script packed with dialog and shot in one day with multiple cameras and a Tascam DR-100.  This combination made for a massive amount of footage and audio to sync up in post, which Red Giant made short work of thanks to its new PluralEyes 3 audio-syncing software.

If you want a closer look at the BTS after watching the short film above, check out the making of video here on Red Giant’s site.

Watch a 4-Year-Old Tear Up a Mountain Bike Trail with a GoPro on His Head

October 7, 2012 By Eric Reagan

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qmQrEM5rVA&w=640&h=360]

Videos like this are what makes GoPro and its ilk so awesome.  The 4-year-old (with his dad in the lead) is tackling Hellion at Highland Mountain Bike Park in Maine for his first time and gives us a first person take on his experience.  His audio commentary makes it all the better.

As a mountain biker and dad, this made me smile for the full nine minutes.
