2. Author a Replicatable Blu-ray disc on a Mac - Bruce Nazarian & Larry Applegate
       
When it comes to producing Blu-ray discs there are a whole lot of issues one needs to consider which have not faced the traditional DVD author. Simply put - replicating Blu-ray discs is very expensive, largely due to licensing and technical requirements. However due to the genius of a man named Larry Applegate, there is now an affordable way to make a Blu-ray CMF (cutting master format) - this is required by replicators for mass production of Blue-ray discs.

3. JVC GY-HM700 - Craig Yanagi and Tim Dashwood
       
JVC stunned the world when the GY-HM100 was unveiled - a tapeless camcorder capable of recording 35mbps native QuickTime files to affordable SDHC cards. Now JVC shows off the larger, more capable GY-HM700, featuring interchangeable lenses, 3rd inch sensors, full shoulder mounted design, and with the facility to record native QuickTime to SDHC media at 35mbps. This professional camcorder has changed the acquisition playing field for those looking to jump into high quality affordable HD.

4. The very first customizable music plug-in for FCP - Larry Jordan
 

 

 
 
SmartSound emerged onto the music creation scene in 1996, when it was all Mac OS 9, and provided an inexpensive way for filmmakers to access high quality production music which could be easily manipulated to a predetermined length. Jump forward to the present and SmartSound provides Final Cut Pro users the ability integrate SmartSound into your Final Cut Pro workflow, by providing a means to easily work between the two applications.
