Why is Larry Jordan making up stories?

[Aindreas Gallagher]

[Chris Harlan] “when you call a thread “Why is Larry Jordan Making Up Stories?” you are casting aspersions, “

errrr – mmmmm – you’ve got me there. Too exposed to english tabloid headline sensationalism p’raps?
Still it is a little odd given the discussions he said he had, and him referring to the film’s editor speaking directly to him about the rationale for picking X – a lot of people at that supermeet walked out with a possibly wildly incorrect impression. also Larry banked quite a bit of his piece on it – the interchange and workflow stuff he referred to as being ready for extremely high level work “like I don’t know … 100 million dollar films?” (thats around the 50 minute mark for the curious).

part of his job is to weave some magic – it was a great demo and some of the capabilities were an eye opener, I just don’t think it would have sounded quite as cool if he had said “X employed to cut fast turnaround EPK marketing materials on a 100 million dollar film.”

anyway – I’m half carping.

Couldn’t someone just post a question about this on Larry’s related blog post?

[Aindreas Gallagher]

can’t we maybe just spin it insanely here for a while?

OK, you guys pulled me in. I watched the whole 52 min. presentation. There’s essentially nothing mentioned about the next FCP X, version except for two minor comments. So no inside info.

The “$100 million feature film” is NOT the Bulgaria project. That was never mentioned. Based on Sam’s description in the article and elsewhere, such as a RedUser, it’s a completely different production.

Larry is basically pitching the XML-based ecosystem. Something others have done, too, though not with as much pizzazz. 😉

fine fine ok – i’ll post a question – actually wait – can’t you? the fact that I’m running a mad tabloid j’accuse thing could be a tad awkward.

you could just say – some lunatic is posting guff on a forum about your supermeet.

I honestly was a bit uncomfortable watching it tho – he ran a seriously hard sell there. It’s hard not to feel there wasn’t some attempt to gin up X. I’m not even sure it needed tbh.
Why didn’t he say base it off le mans even? That was a pretty big deal and you’d have to figure that production workflow would be fascinating.

[Oliver Peters] “The “$100 million feature film” is NOT the Bulgaria project. That was never mentioned. Based on Sam’s description in the article and elsewhere, such as a RedUser, it’s a completely different production.”

wait – so there is a second 100 million dollar production mestman is citing currently without a name? Because bulgaria is the only 100 million dollar project I can find cited?
And – to be clear – the second one, the second 100 million dollar project, that they entered discussions on six months ago, who’s editor jordan spoke to, is being edited on X?

So all of Larry’s comments at the meet, do not relate to mestman’s article at fcp.co? there is a second 100 million dollar film, that mestman was involved in the setup of, that was greenlit to be edited with X some time ago?

Why didn’t mestman write an article about that? Why did he write an article about a hundred million dollar film getting its marketing EPK stuff cut on X, when he could have written an article about another totally different hundred million dollar movie without a name that was being edited, as a major studio feature, on FCPX?

I’m an idiot, but I’m confused.

I dunno – you were pretty seriously informative on the moviola tagging and keyword piece for FCPX.
