Technology & Filmmaking: This Is Not Your Mother's NAB Wrap-up [FJ15]

Last month we had one of the most attended NAB Shows ever. But in true Radio Film School style, our "coverage" of it won't be what you expect. The National Association of Broadcasters (aka NAB) had its annual expo and convention last month. There were over 100,000 people in attendance. And as is the case every year, NAB was the place to find all the most anticipated tech, tools, and toys that will be the next, over-hyped "game-changer." This week on the show we're going to talk about technology and the role it plays in the lives of storytellers and filmmakers. But if you are expecting a run-down of the latest and greatest cameras, drones, lenses, microphones, digital recorders and capture cards, I'm sorry to disappoint you. You won't find that here. However, if you enjoy a deeper conversation about technology and how we as filmmakers relate to it, the good and the bad, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. This week we hear from:David Shulman, executive director of The Seattle Film InstituteJames Kaelan, editor-in-chief of BRIGHT IDEAS Magazine, the print publication arm of filmmaking crowdfunding site seed&spark;Rollo Wenlock, CEO of WipsterPatrick Moreau, Emmy award-winning filmmaker of StillmotionMara Tasker, head of original content creation at seed&spark;Music in this EpisodeIn order of appearance, the music in this episode:Somnolenceby Kai Engel (CC BY).
