Scott Gentry

Scott Gentry started his career as a child actor then moving to ABC All My Children first in production straight out of college, then in front of the camera for a short stint as a regular walk-on (woo-hoo!).

Scott also worked the stadium camera for NY Jets and Giants games, as well a a multitude of events at the Meadowlands arena in NJ. From there he got into publishing and 6 months after sending his resume to DV magazine, he was the publisher. DV went from last to first place and Scott moved on to AV Video Multimedia Producer and led the team to turn that into Studio Monthly and launch Studio Daily.

Scott has since put together the ProVideo Coalition by gathering the best writers and video gurus in the market. It was always the plan to follow ProVideo Coalition with ProPhoto Coalition. There are also several other creative coalition sites planned within the CreativePro Coalition Family.

Editing a multicamera concert shot on Canon 5Ds

Scott Simmons tells all, and the results are fantastic

image

It’s no secret that Canon 5Ds are everywhere. They’ve shot music videos, short films, commercials and more Vimeo videos than anyone can imagine. One place where I haven’t heard about a lot of usage (as of yet anyway) is in multicamera concert production. There’s very real reasons why you wouldn’t want to use any small-form-factor DSLRs (with no gen lock, timecode input or external monitoring) in a multicam production. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t get the job done.

Aperture 3.01 update released, update on my iPhoto ‘09 migration

New Aperture addresses many known issues, doesn’t fix my colossal mistake

Over on our sister site ProVideo Coalition, Mike Curtis has a great article about his move to Aperture 3.  Here’s a taste:

Two things:

1.) Apple today released Aperture 3.0.1, addressing many of the issues I raised with version 3.0

2.) I’ve been busy on my iPhoto ‘09 to Aperture 3.0 upgrade saga, but did something incredibly dumb, losing me hundreds of hours of effort.

Executive brief: Apple today released Aperture 3.0.1 fixing many known issues (no guarantees/reports it fixes’em all), and I was stupid and deleted a crucial file, aka the critical and massive iPhoto Library I’d been working on. Remember, kids - your time is more valuable than the cost of yet another hard drive, and the 5 minutes it takes to set up a backup copy rolling before leaving for the night. Even for personal projects. Shut up. It was late. I was on the phone. I was busy. I wish I’d been drinking.

News and info from the tradeshow floor at PMA and WPPI

FreshDV was on-site at PMA in Anaheim, CA and also WPPI in Las Vegas, NV to get some video coverage from the tradeshow floors. This small series of video coverage is a mix of photo and video topics, and should be of interest especially to those who are embracing the HD/stills convergence offered by the new breed of video-equipped DSLRs.

Watch our PMA / WPPI coverage here, and you’ll find notes and product links below the video playlist.
