Why is Larry Jordan making up stories?
-
[Aindreas Gallagher] “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.”
Probably RIGHTS, dude.
In my little users group webcasts, I spend at least HALF my time trying to sort out demo material that I can web broadcast that won’t get me in IP trouble.
For Larry or anyone else to show ANYTHING about LeMans in a world wide demo – they’d have to secure permission to do so. And that’s extremely hard to do..
Most of us who do public demos have to mount our own projects on our own dime – just to get content that’s IP rights cleared. It’s NOT an easy process to manage.
Fun tho, I’ve got to say! At my next Wed live AZFCPUG meeting – I’m closing with a “show and tell” about a resume music video I shot in my studio for a young local singer who’s just started her first year at the Berklee School of Music in Boston – and the whole thing was a fast and furious BLAST to capture and edit in X!
FCP-X Multi-cam to the rescue once again!
The key to my being able to use it in my on-line demo, was getting the performers to sign that release.
And so it goes.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I dunno – you were pretty seriously informative on the moviola tagging and keyword piece for FCPX.
“Why, thank you.
Very nice of you to say so.

Seeing as Larry is selling training across several NLE platforms now, I don’t think his welfare relies solely on the success of FCPX anymore. A while ago maybe, but he’s diversified in the last year.
What his PERSONAL preference is I have no idea, and I don’t think it’s in his best interest to play favourites either. He’s has just as many Adobe related posts this year as Apple.

what have we come to? 😉
honestly, that was a flat out handy watch. I got tagging quite a bit better.

[Marcus Moore] “The only comments he makes I’ve highlighted in my post below
“Larry Jordan dishes some FCPX gossip at IBC””
Where is this video?
-
Huh. I didn’t realize that the one that’s been floating around was truncated to eliminate the Q&A portion.
Here’s the full vid- He says what he has to say about the FCPX update at 54:45.

OK – I asked him on the jordan biz blog. mostly relating to his conversations with the film’s editor.
It’s honestly maybe an issue of what film, given there may well indeed be a second 100 million dollar unnamed film involving X and mestman that we don’t exactly know about.

I routinely interview editors for articles, so I can tell you that a lot depends on the studio and production company. If it’s a big-bucks studio picture, nothing is going to go out publicly unless it’s cleared by the studio’s publicity company. Whatever conversation was had is definitely not at a point where anyone wants the news spilling out. That will be later when the film is close to being released.

What’s silly about this whole discussion is, news flash, narrative features are actually some of the “easiest” things to cut, in any editor. Easiest I mean, in the technical sense. Not at all speaking to the creative here.
Usually mostly cuts, scripted, a beginning, middle, and end thats already been decided, just many versions of that to weed through. All sorts of different departments handling every aspect of the film that doesn’t involve a cut. FCPX was ready the minute its XML export/import took hold to accomplish the needs of I’d say 90 percent of big budget feature film editing.
I’m more impressed when people talk about their work making verte’ style feature documentaries, or highly experimental films where every trick in the book is attempted. Hundreds of hours of footage, any shot could be the first, any the last and having the tools in place to sort through that mountain to make a compelling story. Thats the world I’m interested in hearing success stories.
Big budget narrative cutting, from a technical standpoint, who cares? The EPKs for that mystery film will tax the editing tool more than most likely the whole feature will.

Wow, guys… for a second I thought this thread was about Roswell or the JFK assassination.
Anyway, just to clarify a couple things. Yes, there are two movies. Yes, Larry Jordan talked to both myself and someone from the post side of the other movie I’ve been working on (a studio feature… currently shooting in the US and it is not the one in Bulgaria). Yes, that other movie is cutting with FCPX. I’ll be writing another article about it for fcp.co as soon as I have a minute. No, I won’t be naming any names until someone from the production says I can.
Sorry about all the controversy. Lots of other cool stuff coming down the pike as well. If any of you are planning on coming out to the Lumaforge 4k Unplugged meetup tomorrow, I’ll be talking a little more in depth there about all of this… and it’s looking like we’ll have a bit of a special surprise for that one. We’ve been working on something pretty cool in the lab today that I’m hoping we’ll be able to mention (no, it won’t have anything to do with a new version of FCPX).
