Every once in a while you run across a voice that resonates. I’m not talking about a great singer but the voice of a great thinker. Michael Cioni of Lightiron and Panavision is one of those voices. For over a decade he has been branching out, reaching out and grasping at the big ideas that everyone else has been desperately trying to follow. It is a pleasure to be able to get an hour of his time and chat with him about our business, our tools, and the future.

Michael Stuff you should check out.

Besides being an accomplished editor and creator Tony Gallardo has been working on The Grill in a support capacity for several months now. Last week at NAB 2017 Tony and I had the chance to hangout and meet many of the names that have become associated with this show and Tony even did a couple of presentations at the Lumaforge “Faster. Together. Stage.” In this episode we’ll discuss what our high level take away of NAB was and what it means to the future of our industry. If you’re looking for product specific facts, figures and specs… you’re in the wrong place.

Steve Miller, not that one, is a long time friend and fellow editor. Although we kid each other all the time because of our choice of tools we prefer to use, I have the utmost respect for Steve’s take on the technology we use on a day to day basis. In this episode we’ll discuss the “State of the Mac” as well as, laptops, desktops, mice, and even eGPU boxes.

For over a year, Brad Olsen has been pouring his time into the mother of all personal projects, a documentary covering the life of Final Cut Pro and its transition to FCPX. In this conversation we discuss his strategy for putting together this film and some of the findings that he has uncovered in the 2TB of interviews he has conducted so far. We’ll also discuss his sit down interview with Randy Ubilos, the creator and mind behind Premiere 1.0 and Final Cut Pro, iMovie 08, Aperture, iMovie iOS, FCPX and more. We also briefly discuss the recent events on the United Airlines flights, and talk about how to listen to the news.
