Got some footage capturing, so I figured I'd goof off a little and show you my work computers.


Here's the whole setup. Although we edit and finish primarily in DV Anamorphic, we're still able to accommodate the occasional HD project.


Details of the Mac side of the workspace, with the two 24" monitors.


My two Drobos. The one of the left is the newer one, hooked up with FireWire800. The other is our archive drive, a first-generation USB2.0 slug. My boss bought it just weeks before they unveiled the second-generation drobo.


My beautiful MacPro. It's not at it's full potential, with only 5GB of RAM and a 256GB Vidina card, but it works well for our purposes. It's the quad core version, with two 2.8GHz Intel Core2Duo's.


And then the PC side. Of course, I have to have a PC for all the little things. I've got a Dell Latitude 610 hooked up to a dock with an extra widescreen LCD.

A few additions/updates....

With our new film 'Alienated', starring Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos, we shot on the Red and wanted to edit in 2K (ProRes HQ), so I decided to incorporate a Blackmagic Multibridge Pro for both monitoring and mastering through SDI. Editing off a CalDigit HDOne 8TB array http://www.caldigit.com/HDOne/ ....and through its controller card 2K is a breeze.

Just recently added a JVC DT-V20L1DU monitor for viewing/color-correction:

...pic quality is great via the Multibridge's HD-SDI....even 'downscaled' from 2K to 1080/24p.


Some stills from "Alienated"...trailer should be up soon.....

He played Sal "Big P*ssy" Bonpemsiero on 'The Sopranos', and is basically the same type of character in this film....but with different 'issues'.

'twas Mickey Blue Eyes. Great flick that is. It's good to see he's joining independent films as well. Are you paying him?


Anyways..

You guys would die laughing if I showed you mine. (don't have a still camera!) I'm no techie, but here's what I have:

Since I'm using my dad's 8 year old Sony Hi8 HandiCam and his capture card has no SVideo jack, I'm still capturing via old-fashioned Audio/Video cables...on Dad's computer, which is a Compaq with an ATI graphics card. Then I tranfer the footage to my dinky little laptop running Vista; a Dell Inspiron E1505 with 50 gigs of HD space, plus there's an external harddrive boasting 80 gigs. For 'effects', I have Photoshop and Blender. (I'm gonna ask my bro for a copy of 3DS MAX if I've got the space) I use WMM to edit, but please don't flog me. When you're literally flat broke it works pretty good for short stuff.

When I have money again I'm going for a DV camera with external mic and/or mic jack that uses Firewire or USB so I won't have to keep borrowing my dad's cam and comp. After that I'll be springing for a great big 1 Terabyte external harddrive to use exclusively for raw footage. The 'nice' editing program will come after that.
