What is a proxie? How can I actually use it? In this conversation, returning guest, Thomas Grove Carter and Chris go into detail about the workflow for cutting a long form commercial for Sony, and no, Thomas didn’t have to use Vegas. Thomas goes into great detail about how he managed 9 days of footage on the set including making rough cuts for the director daily. There is an interesting facet of this story in that on the set, the director and Thomas decided to basically totally rework the flow of the piece based on what they were seeing with the media. The end result was fantastic.

How do you streamline and focus on your core competency when we are inundated with the complexity of living on the 21st century? Long time friend and first guest of The Grill, Carl Olson and I log on and have a conversation about JUST THAT. I also talk at great length about how some of my own workflows are changing and encourage Carl to look at some new methods to cut on his latest passion project. It’s always fun to catch up with Carl and this episode is no exception.

Jason tells us about the “kickstarter smiley face”. Hear all about how Jason made a film about the cultural impact of Back the Future told from the viewpoint of the Delorean Time Machine.

Workflow logic is crucial and in FCPX there are so many ways to solve a problem. Returning guest David Fabelo and Chris walk thru a potential job he is applying for and we discuss some workflow ideas to make an episodic web series works smoothly in a shared work environment. We also learn about the Fabelo Rogue Marker Bug and hear how David came across that discovery. David discusses his logic of how he uses the Primary Storyline for his B-Roll and we talk about Markers in the browser or Markers in the timeline.

Jesse’s got mad chops and a LONG history in this business. He is known in the Bay Area as a “fixer” when you are stumped trying to get your project out the door, Jesse is the guy you go to. This is a long episode but Jesse is an extremely interesting dude. I thought about cutting it down but couldn’t pick anything to drop. So forgive me for taking so much of your time but I think you’ll enjoy Jesse Spencer.
