Afghanistan and FCP XPosted by Andrew Kines
Give me excellent photography, a simple classic-film style and a good script, sure, I can cut the damn thing in Media 100 circa 2000 (with its generous eight audio tracks) or the mighty Adobe Premiere 4 from early my film-school days. Doesn't make the tool a good one.
At this point in Apple's timeline, "it's not that bad" is simply not passing the mustard for me. We never made the apology that "iMovie could do this simple thing because it's simple enough". You can eat a meal with a single chopstick if the food is just mashed potatoes. If it's a bowl of peas and a steak, I'm still going to use a complete set of cutlery. That same set of cutlery could've handled the mashed potatoes just as well. If I'm going to carry a set of eating tools, I'm not going for a single chopstick. www.derekmok.com
Well, to get off the soapbox for a minute, if you have this footage and can't make it work, then it is, indeed, not the fault of the tool.
Oh, the days when producers did the research, tested the cameras, got the DP and post people involved before the shoot, paid the lab to do proper transfers, when producers watched shots instead of cuts and transitions... www.derekmok.com

Some parts have remained peaceful: [www.bbc.co.uk] My software: Pro Maintenance Tools - Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more More tools...
Yes there are some peaceful parts left. But some of them look horrible still after all the war times.
Regarding the movie I'm with Derek. For this kind of movie you just need good footage a good script and then you can edit with more or less any tool, if you are a good editor. I like the movie as it shows all the 'nice' parts of Afghanistan and it's people - I've seen other parts (only my cams had been there) Andreas
