Norman Wisdom 1915-2010

I woke this morning to find that one of my childhood heros, Norman Wisdom had passed away after a long long life of 95 years. It was my father who introduced me to him on VHS tape recordings from the TV. I found that I would be glued to his antics on the screen as well as his unlimited expressions of reactions on his face.

A true genius of the comedy era and an icon for all upcoming and current performers in the comedy world. (Charlie Chaplin called him ‘my favorite clown’)

The impact of the NLE to the editing profession.

Hi All

I was wondering if I could start a conversation on the introduction of the NLE (Non Linear Editing Software) to the editing profession. What are your thoughts on this? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the digital video workstation?

Are there aspects of the Linear world that are missed in todays workflows?

I welcome any comments.
Simon.

Last week saw Applebox Media film another scene for the short film Scumbag Millionaire starring Francis Ryan. This scene was filmed on location at the Carpark on Lower Gearldgriffin Street, in Limerick. Penned by Francis and yours truly, the story tells of one mans struggle to get to the top of a gang but quickly realises that its getting out is the goal when alot of money comes into play.

In this scene Francis is met by his friend Will, played by Sean Flynn, who provides him with transport to get around and to avoid being seen.

This production is due to be complete by January 2011.
