  1. Playing hooky today. #nomoreworkingonfridays
  2. DIY yard project today. It's already hot and humid outside. Yay.
  3. @joeavella Our distributor setup this deal. Film is also on iTunes and supposed to be on Netflix & Hulu soon too.
  4. Anyone using Google Play yet (for movie rentals I mainly mean)? Hope it's not like Google+... :)
  5. Supposedly Google Play is platform agnostic... I haven't tried yet, but phones, tablets, computers, and connected TVs all (should) work.
  6. That's my second film to hit Google Play by the way... Another feature I directed called KILLING DOWN is avail there too.
  7. The indie comedy SPILT MILK that I directed is now avail to rent on Google Play for $2.99. A bargain if I dare say! play.google.com/store/movies/d…
  8. Color grading today. Tedious, but fun. #Indiefilm
  9. @robgokee Cool deal. Yeah, we've built several Hackintosh around our studio since no new MacPros on horizon. But iMacs good now too!
  10. @robgokee Out of the box. The fastest 27" version with extra RAM (I think 16GB). Works surprisingly well! Maybe we are "post PC"...?
  11. The Thunderbolt drives are too pricey IMO right now, so using adapters for eSata is the way to go. Plus I've got half a dozen G-RAIDs. :)
  12. It's soooo nice to play 5k EPIC footage in real time w/no transcoding in Avid MC 6 via AMA. Oh, and did I mention on an iMac?
  13. Just got the new LaCie Hub to connect Thunderbolt to my eSata RAID drives. It works great! Economical way to use these drives w/new Macs.
  14. Exporting OMF files for the @PhobiaTheMovie sound work! #Indiefilm
  15. Shot some amazing... Dare I say EPIC footage for a Top Secret project. Looking forward to sharing it down the road. #webseries
  16. RIP MCA Fight for Your Right to Party #sad
  17. @angelobell Thanks! Been a fun, and challenging project. :)
