I had no idea about HDMI 2.0. Currently they are finalizing the details on it and it is supposed to come out this year. Apparently this is why some of the old 4k TVs are starting to rapidly drop in price, to unload them. The Seiki 4k TV is now going for around $965.99 on Amazon...

I've been looking into raid, nas servers, raid controller cards, LTO drives, enterprise level hard drives over the last few days trying to learn as much as I can about it. This stuff gets very expensive. I got four 3tb hard drives, for 12tb. I got two 256gb SSD drives. Trying to figure out...

Do you do commercials and narrative work under the same production company? Or do you have two production companies, one for narrative and one for commercials. I have a production company but I do some edgier comedy work that involves hookers, cursing, etc. Not very family friendly. I've...

I wish this website would give reward points to people who answer questions. I notice very few to no filmmaking forums do that. There are some people who go far out of their way to help someone, answering their technical question. And there is no way to thank them but to say thanks. They...

I'm new to shooting commercials. The client said they usually have them put on beta tapes and then are delivered to a tv station to have them aired. I'm not familiar with beta tapes, is that even the right term of tape or the best to deliver? Do I need to shoot on Red then get it to a post...

I did a search and found nothing on this. I recently built a new computer for editing Red footage (waiting on delivery of the parts). I have some 256GB SSD's on the way to use as my boot/software drive. I'm curious if it will be enough. If you could, please list all the software/plugins...
