dcinput daily for Sat 29th July, 2006
It’s been 12 days since my last post. Rubbish.
I’ve been completely caught up in the final phase of a big project at work which is literally been sucking all my time. In fact I’ve barely been online at all and have completely lost touch with what’s going on. If anyone ever tries to tell you that digital intermediate is easy, they’re lying.
A while back I wrote that I was going to start researching topics that I thought were interesting to the world of digital cinema and that I would write about them as I learnt new stuff. Well I’m going to link to two good Ze Frank episodes where he looks at the subject of copyright. Here and here. It’s complicated ok.
“So in my adulthood I decided to go back to my childhood strategy: just start playing with it. Very quickly you start to understand the activity or idea that is at something’s core”.
This is a key idea IMHO. You can procrastinate all day long but at some stage you have to start the thing you are planing to do. The more you think about something the harder it can seem. It’s often more productive and fun to figure stuff out as you go along.
