sure lets all just enjoy this… one more time.

I thought this would be just another jokey kind of poke at Apple. Its not, its very poignant. For me and I guess a lot of others. My first a IIFX and now my last a G5. Never thought it would end like this.
I downloaded, installed and read the manual. Downloaded all available extra content.
Assembled three short projects from a mix of P2, XDCAM, h264 and 48/41k audio.
Executed tests with nearly all (got bored) the available effects/transitions/generators/colour correction.
Gave it a good spanking for four hours thirty minutes, fettled with every drop down and now I have nothing left to play with. Is that it?
As Ms Gaynor says, ‘can’t you see its just no good, I’ve gotta walk out that door’

yeah, all the petition jumping around aside, it’s killing me a little, on some level its just weirdly truly depressing this.
I was a 1995 performa 5320, godawful gil amelio machine, but that didn’t matter because it was apple right?
I loved that machine – bootleg photoshop 4 with **batch actions** in my final year – it was like an automated frame by frame AE. I’ve never had more fun.

Jesus this feels a tiny bit like an angry funeral doesn’t it? we all kind of know the mac pro towers are going to be next to go, and then christ knows all the apps are modal or something, its not that they aren’t figuring other interesting HUI things out but God, I’ve said it below, but in the dark years – weren’t we in the creative industries the ones who kept them going? Are we all just eaten bread? I mean christ apple – you got us in the habit of apple – and for your part Apple, for your part Steve, for your part Randy, well for quite a long time, we were the only food you could eat.

This video is incredibly well done

I especially love the way he conveys his disgust at the timeline at the very end simply by jerking the mouse around the “tracks” and promptly quits…beautiful
