Soccer parents using a Red camera and editing with FCP X, brilliant! Wonder how many cat videos are filmed with a Red or even an Arri camera.
Just purchased a Bolex H16 camera, no need for a Red, might even sell my cinema camera. Then again, might keep it. Just waiting for Resolve 12, so if Apple makes another royal screw up at least with FCP at least there will be something else to use. Oh, yeah, going to learn how to use those glorious tracks again!
Honestly, it appears that 4K resolution is just another fad. Film will own any digital format, in my opinion. Done with my rant.

Strongly recommend you go with external storage. There are plenty of options out there. You will need to consider what format and resolution you will be working with. I would go with G Technology, very good luck with those so far. I would recommend looking at what B and H Photo has, they offer a wide range of storage solutions that should fit your budget.

I was waiting for that type of comment. 🙂
Walked right into that one. Guess technology is like a bar. You say to yourself, “Just one more”. You promise to resolve but all it takes is one sip too many. Then you are hooked you become an addict. You are glued to your tablet, your phone, all around you disappears. Then after hours of surfing, loosing your mind you look at the clock and wonder how long your friendly computer has taken control over you.

It is on YouTube, forgot how many background variations there were. The song was a bit different in the 1980 version. Later versions and revisions were not as good as the original. The one with the candy band, however, was entertaining. Now nothing but 30 minutes of useless garbage before the movie, not to mention those annoying commercials. * Sigh *

The theater at Northpark had only two screens but had 1,000 seats are so in each audiotorium, and a balcanoy, which was not open to the public. The screen with THX had sixteen subwoofers, did not even bother to count the surround speakers. You could feel the bass and the THX trailer always sent chills down my spine.
I read a story, at the time the theater was closed for good, where someone from the Las Angelas area flew to Dallas to see Titanic in 70mm presentation. Only theater in the area that had the format, at least that I was aware of. Now it is all now about profit rather then the experience. Everything has pretty much gone digital which is sad. Maybe something will change.

Glad you enjoyed it Tim! The mall has expanded a few years ago, two of the three fountains remain. First floor is now a quadrangle, there is an exterior courtyard. Hopefully will visit there again soon and get some photos. That mall is indeed for its art. Downtown is the Nasher Sculpture center which is an unique place to visit.
How times have changed. Hardly go to movies anymore. Ticket prices are insane, people annoy the hell out with me because they are glued to their smart phone, lengthy commercials and crying babies! Now, just enjoy good old stuff on TCM, and go to Netflix on occasion.

I felt this way when migrating from Avid to FCP 3 (still have the software). In a couple of afternoon sessions, got the hang of it. When the new version came out, short circuit in the brain felt real, this one took more time to master. Where did the tracks go? Why does it move clips up or down the timeline the way it does? Is this thing possessed?
A bigger challenge was trying to find out what events, projects and libraries were, even trying to figure how they work together. Previous versions, concept was simple. Top of the food chain was a project which had sequences made up of clips. That knowledge made learning FCP 3 easy, just learning a slightly different interface. That was no so cut and dry when X came into existence.
Things changed after watching various videos, it began to click. The challenge is explaining how everything works to someone using a traditional tracked based editor. Even more fun is patching and assigning tracks if you not have done that in awhile.
That video was spot on, new perspective on things now. I want to try that bike out, but with three wheels. At least I won’t be tumbling over every couple of feet.

Steve, at least his iPod did not meet this fate:

I have an aunt that would record stuff on VHS tapes from end to end, about six hours in length. She had at least seven VCR decks. Enough tapes she had to open a mini sized Blockbuster or other tape rental business. One day, out of extreme boredom and curiosity I decided to do a little math for fun. I took the number of tapes multiplied that by six to get the total number of hours. Divided that result by 24 and that result by 365 to get the number of years it would take to watch all those tapes 24/7 without taking a break. Result came to about 30 years! One can only imagine the time it would take to listen to that collection that guy has. Eek!
The magnetic timeline, it’s magnetic-o-matic!
