Is Apple About to Lose Turner Studios?
-
[Christian Schumacher] “I am convinced that “something” was said in that regard. It is more than a “link bait”.”
Christian,
I disagree. The only thing he attributes to the speaker is “a clear warning to Apple”, the rest is all his interpretation and extrapolation – not attributed to the speaker.
What that “clear warning” would have been, who knows?

[Christian Schumacher] “Pretend you are website publisher, and then your site is a media sponsor for a conference. Later, you write about that same conference, are you going to lie about the content of one of the keynotes? Being an attende and a sponsor? That’s unlikely in my book. So, there you have it.

Well, I figure it is “something”, indeed. As I said it.

For what it’s worth, “The Places…” was shot and edited by Ted Saunders, a young professional photographer and film maker working out of LA (TedShots). He says he shot this on a Canon 7D and his Linked in Profile mentions only Final Cut Pro as an NLE skill.
In my opinion Bill is right that this shows how guerrilla media production has become. The playa is not a good place for lenses, cameras and sound equipment. And a sound truck is not even an option. But he pulled off a very clean product.
I also think that there is a compelling trend towards short-format media. People may each have a half-dozen or more personal small screens available to them (TV’s, ipads, phones, laptops) as well as public screens (movie theatres, billboards, ubiquitous hanging lcds). But we only have 24 hours per day. So do you watch one or two 2-hour dramas, or fifty 3-to-7 minute items? Short forms can be integrated into our new multiple screen mobile lives more easily too, even if we can increasingly rent/stream/timeshift long form.
In the end, Turner Studios may be Gulliver in a land of Lilliputians.

Never a quarrel with people who try things and find them not to their taste.
I’ll even acknowledge that part of the excitement I had was that my kid came to me, excited by the video and wanted to share it with me. We may all forget about it and dismiss it 10 minutes after seeing it – which is fine. But I’ll remember how I found it, that it showed me something unfamiliar and cool, linked my son’s generation and mine, and even tossed in a bit of Genius (Mr. Geissel) in the mix.
So for a Tuesday morning, not a bad way to start a day!
Peace.

So, what if his interpretation is a correct one? Is that “poor journalism” too? Aren’t you a little quick to call it?

Later, you write about that same conference, are you going to lie about the content of one of the keynotes? Being an attendee and a sponsor? That’s unlikely in my book. So, there you have it.”
So instead, I invent a question, wrapped in a “statement” without stating anything that can’t be corroborated because hey, gotta pay for that sponsorship somehow, right?
They didn’t lie, rather, they didn’t say anything.
There’s no news here, Christian. Nothing. Link bait.
…And if Tuner says, “we now love PCs and are switching to Edius/Vegas/PPro/Avid/Lightworks/Magisto”. So what? We all know that FCPX isn’t ready for Turner.
Duh.
I would also venture to say that Turner wouldn’t come out and call FCPX, iMovie Pro like article states. They’d make an announcement and say something like “Starting next week, we’re moving to this NLE”. Or whatever.
PS David Lawrence left a comment, maybe he’ll get an answer.

Incredible how everybody in the web can be assumptive, huh?

[Paul Harrison] “Turner Studios may be Gulliver in a land of Lilliputians.”
Paul,
Wasn’t Gulliver made king or something? Before he went home.
Anyway I think you and Bill are muddying the waters a bit – yes, more people have access to media production. That is quite beside the issue of what tools broadcast outfits will use.
You should also catch up on the YouTube story here particularly as it relates to broadcast as a model.

Boggles my feeble brain, really.
