Behind the Lens: Rachel Morrison Receives Kodak Vision Award:

Here is a great article by Debra Kaufman from CreativeCow.net called “Behind the Lens with Rachel Morrison: Fruitvale Station” (On 06/11/2013). Rachel was awarded the Kodak Vision Award at the 2013 Women In Film Crystal + Lucy Awards for the Sundance Award winning film Fruitvale Station. Rachel was the Director of Photography for the film, which has now gotten a nationwide distribution release. The film recalls the real life drama of an Oakland Man’s final hours. This film has gotten great reviews! The film is out now in theatres. Enjoy!

Film Resources

I keep on going back to Andrew Kramer's VideoCopilot, Ryan Connolly's FilmRiot and the folks at CreativeCow, but there are many other excellent resources I want to keep track of.

All this small corner of the web is meant to do is keep track of the tutorials, assets, websites and other goodies I'm finding useful in helping me improve my short videos/ movies.

Blog Challenge: Day 3

Despite spending thousands of dollars on books and courses at college, I've gained a lot through resource websites. Here are a few that I utilize everyday.

Lynda.com - I like to dabble into places that I shouldn't, like 3D modeling. Lynda.com offers a monthly membership of $25 (last time I checked.) and offers tutorials from Final Cut Pro to 3D modeling programs like Maya. This site is a must for anyone looking to hone their skills or just to learn a new program for fun.

Smashing Magazine - Smashingmagazine.com is a graphic design site that offers tips anywhere from Javascript to how to communicate with clients. 99% of the time the blogs are useful to any professional in the design industry. Oh, it's free. Looove it.

CreativeCow.net -  I call this website the SmashingMagazine of video. Every time I Google a question about video, this site pops up the most. I've learned to just migrate from Google to CreativeCow.net for most of my video issues. This site doesn't just offer forums about technical support, they also have tutorials, podcasts, and a place to show off your reel for others to critique.

Ok, this next one isn't a website, but seeing as my profession requires me to heavily work with people, I think this should count: Seattle Final Cut User Group. These monthly meetings are held for anyone (for free) with any level of expertise to join up and talk about Final Cut. In another blog post, I mention that these dudes are as generous as they come, offering personal counseling and will answer any question whether it be about codecs or keyboard shortcuts. These groups are not limited to Seattle. I'm 99% sure every city that has a road has these meetings.
