Watch out, Adobe!

[Tim Kolb]

I’m not sure I understand the subject line.

Adobe has been working on a few things too. Some of you may remember seeing this:

Also…as far as dynamics and exposure latitude, with motion RAW becoming more and more prevalent, I think much of that problem will fade away.

The scene comp replacements were nice on that clip. (the original one the thread started with…)

Also…CS4 does have some interesting stuff on the way…Adobe hasn’t gone to sleep.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Do you think the people that were lucky enough to have a job operating that equipment were truly the best artists, or were they the people that had the proper training to operate it? And don’t you think with the proliferation of video media on everyone’s everyday lives worldwide, don’t you think the market has changed a ton?”

I’d just toss out that the cost of equipment used to dictate that the production process be very modular. You couldn’t afford to be a project producer that had an edit suite (and the engineer to support it) sit around until you finished shooting…at which point your camera goes in the closet until you finish this project in post and start shooting another… You had to have people assigned to the equipment and keep it working, like a bulldozer or an airliner. Continuity of vision was a rare thing.

Now we have the ability to be fully equipped artists able to access any piece of equipment when we want to because more often than not we own it…and pay our bills from doing very integrated, creatively fluid finished work.

…and of course, since the equipment is so affordable, we have any number of newly minted production “professionals” who sell themselves for projects that are more extensive than their experience and because many of them can certainly purchase the same tools we can, the whole field gets a black eye in the customer’s mind when they don’t perform….
