Acquisition crew, May 2008 |
The Moving Pictures Collective Tapeless Acquisition seminar is your
chance to get over your tapeless reluctances. Yes, you can erase,
corrupt or otherwise make a mess out of a perfectly fine set of files,
but with this system, producers, editors and assistants can feel
confident and benefit from the potential speed from shoot to edit
that tapeless acquisition can offer.
Michael Vitti is an early adopter of tapeless acquisition, having
shot two documentaries and as the HD Tech on a multi-camera feature.
Michael has developed a foolproof system. Join us for this two and
a half hour seminar to cover:
- the tapeless system: prepare for the un-expected
- station setup & configuration
- Data, media and metadata management
- Final Cut Pro Studio 2 log and transfer
