Music Score/Post Production and Tips/Experience
One of my first jobs, doing music score for a client. A snapshot of a film credit I had. After the film was completed at C4 Films, I went into the studio-onsite -to cut tracks, while also recording/writing/mixing at my home studio. I remember the film director asking me what I needed, watched a few...

Formatting for theatre
Friends - we just test-screen the trailer for our picture, and we found that the top of the frame was cut off - apparently we've got an aspect ratio problem. We shot in 4K (1.89:1). The closest to that for theatres seems to be "flat" - 1.85:1. We're going to check to see if the theatre's projector i...

The projector should have a setting for aspect. In film projection it used to be a matching aspect gate.
Otherwise, a new conversion of the file to that aspect might work. That can be done from the edi...

Boy, that was Tough!
I’m sure it’s hard to make some CGI, especially for big-budget movies and shows. What’s the most difficult CGI you’ve done? And how did you overcome the obstacles to finish it?

Extended sets to make modern day Prague look like 1932 Berlin. But we pulled it off. I am so impressed with today's technicians.

That sounds difficult, Sam Sokolow! What genre was the film/show?

It was the first season of GENIUS, Maurice Vaughan - the Einstein season. Seeing that come to life was incerdible.

I still need to watch the Einstein season, Sam Sokolow. I'm signing up for Hulu again soon. I'll check out the season.

Using a PR Firm As An Editor
Hi there. I'm an editor who was recently approached by a PR firm who works with below the line talent and I'm curious if anyone has experience working with a PR firm and/or has advice for me.
I edited the most episodes of the original Suits series as well as the major episodes (premieres, finales, se...

How about this? You go write some articles on editing the shows. Which NLE is used? Do you just edit or do you edit, clean up audio, do color correction, all in? Process for editing each show? Revisio...

Ask yourself... do you NEED "PR"? and aimed at what demographic or group, and for what purpose? Seems to me editors get most of their work from industry referrals, once in a while possibly an agent.
Trailer Sound Design Tutorial
Hello creatives, here is another tutorial of mine. It is 13 minutes of information regarding how I approach certain techniques, and how I layer sound to properly marry audio to visuals.
I hope you can take away something from this! Please like and subscribe if you liked what you heard. I will make more tutorials.

Great tutorial, Kevin Gamble! The sounds make the trailer creepier and scarier. My favorite sound is the static. How long does it take to finish a trailer?

This is wonderful, Amanda Toney -- 1) what Film Forward is doing, 2) that organisations like this exist 3) that I just learned about it
I note that Adobe is partnering with Film Forward on this project. I wonder what or if Blackmagic Design is supporting anything similiar.
Nowadays, post-production really can be for Everyone, Everywhere, All At Once.
