Digital Production BuZZ Producer’s Corner for February 21, 2013

Michael Cioni, CEO of Light Iron, was on the BuZZ a few weeks ago to let us know that he was going to have some “big news” in the very near future. Sure enough, he wasn’t kidding. Shortly thereafter, Light Iron purchased Off Hollywood and Michael moved to New York City, where he is loving life in the Big Apple and creating more post production magic.

Norman Hollyn, Professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts has some very interesting things to say about directing comedic productions. It isn’t as easy and not always as funny as you think!

Michael Kammes, Director of Technology and Marketing at Key Code Media, tells us about Nexidia’s Dialogue Search and a cloud-based editing service from Forescene.

Our legal expert, Jonathan Handel, Entertainment Labor Reporter for the Hollywood Reporter takes a step back and looks at what SAG and AFTRA have scheduled on their calendars for the year. He maintains that we can predict what is going to happen with these guilds by what he sees there. Interesting concept and we tend to believe him. You can read a recent article in the Hollywood Reporter and then tune in tonight for more information! Screen Shot 2013-02-21 at 3.34.00 PM

And Jessica Sitomer, the Greenlight Coach is back with more career advice, and rest assured, it is always very good advice!
