CineSource Collective Narrative
Sophie Does NAB Sophie staggered by spouting on NAB. We are both wasted, me from 36 hour no sleeping putting out the May CineSource now at your local outlet she by being our intrepid reporter at the Vegas broadcasters event, which always throws her schedule and back out of whack.
Everything is the same old format discussion, Sophie complained. They have been having for years. But boys will always talk about their tools, no? In the case each brand new ways of crunching the digits has a slightly different effect. We like things that make images look different, like John Chater is quote in Sophies article, which will be up soon.
We also just got an email from Pixar. Whereas last year the big studios were writing us saying, Please stop sending us your magazine or calling us about the hot tub party, we are famous people with a lot better to do then read some measley production rag OK I made up that last part. This time the letter said, I was interested in the email subscription, not the print version.
Of course, we are already all on line, although we were thinking of doing a partial subscription, you pay for some special parts, whatever that means. But some one has to figure out how to monitize the web. YouTube is loosing a half billion a year.
We are loosing much less then that. Actually we are gaining immensely. CineSource Productions, which we formed in March and advertised in April is starting on some projects, and as noted above, the studios are already starting to email. D. Blair April 28, 2009
