Feel Good Stereo 3D
Published: September 2, 2010
Many new feature films — 3D and live action — are being released in stereo 3D these days, and one of the most important ways to ensure this growth continues is to make sure the experience leaves the audience wanting to come back as opposed to wanting to toss their popcorn. Because once someone walks out queasy, it’s unlikely they’ll be back. |

NAB 2010 - LAS VEGAS
Published: May 7, 2010
I paid $4.21 for a tube of ChapStick at my hotel gift shop… and don’t tell the girl at the register, but I would have paid more. I have come to realize that at NAB, lip balm, breath mints and water are like cigarettes in prison — invaluable, hence my NAB 2011 plan: Randi’s “Things You Should Have Remembered” booth that will sell the aforementioned items, plus moisturizer and antibacterial lotion. I’ll make millions! Millions I say!

workflow, while improving their quality and efficiency. |
