...but if you can get over that, the TWiM (updated link) podcast turned out great. They haven't updated the site yet (busy week for those cats), but it's available on their feed.
In other news, the response to the Rebel Café has been great. Big ups to the participants!
I had the great pleasure of joining the This Week in Media crew on their excellent podcast today. The episode goes live in the next couple of days.
If you're reading this blog but not listening to TWiM, you are missing out. It's the best conversation going on the radical changes in media that are happening right under our noses. To get a taste, dig back in their archives to TWiM 16, which stands to this day as the best recorded summary of the perenial "film vs. video" question.
I'm thrilled to be on the show. We talked about The Guide, Colorista, Red, and a couple other things.
John Dickinson of Motionworks has created a handy Quick Reference Guide for what-does-what in Levels.
I confess that mastering Levels took me many years, some of which were included the occasional over-the-shoulder tutorials from the guy who invented it. So you are not wussing out if you set this image as your desktop wallpaper. Nice work John!
Announcing Rebel Café, a forum for discussing issues related to The Guide.
There are a number of ideas in The Guide that could touch off much deeper conversations, and the blog was just starting to feel a little one-way, you know? Check it out and let me know if you think it's a good idea. I may not always be quick to respond in either venue, but at least with the Café there might be another rebel who can help you out.
(Thanks to all the readers who reported in after the last post—I gave the first few folks who emailed a sneak preview of the Café and they seemed to dig it!)
If you've received your copy of The Guide, please shoot me a quick email at rebelsguide [at] gmail [dot] com. Got something I want to run by ya.
UPDATE: This message was a call for beta testers of the Rebel Café, which is now up and in full swing. So no need to email that address, just head on over to the forums and join the conversation!
