It did mean that I could position the Mac mini away from the mix position, which was great. It too is a great machine for the money but I was still in a mess of Apple dongles with an expansion chassis. The iMac lasted for me until 2018 when I bought a Mac mini. I’d argue that is its natural environment, or at least, out of the way and away from my ears. A tower can be placed in the machine room. I also found that the iMac’s fans would spin up at inopportune times, not often but when they did it was annoying and I always had a nagging sense that a tower is just the proper machine for a studio, not an “all in one” like the iMac. I didn’t hate it and yes it all worked, but it felt clunky and messy compared to a nice neat tower with ‘all the stuff inside it’. The iMac also saw me end up with a mess of dongles and using an expansion chassis for the HDX card. Of course, you could put the iMac in a machine room but then you are paying for a large screen you cannot use. The iMac is a fine machine in itself but in a professional recording studio, I tend to prefer to have anything, that has a fan in it, as far away from my ears as possible. I bought a 2017 iMac 5k 27” as a bit of a test. When my 2010 Mac Pro died a few years ago I considered buying another identical machine on the used market but wanted to get something more modern with Thunderbolt. Not without a few bumps in the road but, on the whole, a positive experience. I’ve had a happy marriage with Apple and Pro Tools for many years. Then a G5, then a couple of Mac Pro’s- running TDM/HD/HDX systems for the most part as well as native systems. It is just a lot of money for a computer for me, a one-man-band producer/engineer/audio consultant. There isn’t a machine that works for me as much as a Mac tower, and as we all know Apple hasn’t made a proper tower since 2012. I bought the new Mac Pro somewhat under duress. Yes, I actually bought one, which was a surprise to me as much as anyone (although not to my long-suffering and extremely wonderful wife). Mac OS Catalina Support is here for Pro Tools with the exception of the new Mac Pro, which is a pity because that is the machine I see sitting before me. In this article, he shares his experiences setting up a 2019 Mac Pro with Logic Pro X and Pro Tools 2019.12 running on macOS Catalina with an Avid Pro Tools HDX1 system. He has chosen to go for a new 2019 Mac Pro even though it isn’t approved yet for Pro Tools.

I've never been to KTEB, just JFK, LGA and EWR. I've been flying for many years, but I still love plane spotting and aviation photography, not that I have time for that when I'm working, but still nice to see them taxi by, take off, land, etc. The cherry on the cake for me is seeing all the unique airlines that I don't normally see in YYZ such as Kenya Airways, Uzbekistan Airways, Air Serbia, Singapore, Norse Atlantic, All Nippon, Finnair and many more. Yes, it's challenging and busy, but it's great. I fly to JFK all the time, multiple times a week sometimes. I’ve never heard of anyone proclaim that they “loved flying into JFK”.Ī comment such as that leads me to believe that you’d previously flown (Ah, rather eventually got out of) KTEB! It's busy, but it's a great airport, especially if you're an Av-Geek like myself. Now, many of those classic airlines are gone and there are way too many Airbuses and Embraers.Īs an interesting addition to that vacation, I was able to work out our flights down there from Canada on an indirect route on a 747SP and the return on another 747. I imagined about one day somehow taxiing in/and out in a 747 to JFK.īack then, the airport was dead in the morning and really busy in the afternoon and evening. I would watch from the parking lot of the Pan Am terminal. Domestic operations on TWA and Pan Am were the good old 727. And most international carriers flew in 747’s(with a nice mix of 707/DC-8/DC-10/L-1011). Back then it was dominated by Pan Am and TWA. But, I had become obsessed with airplanes. She wanted to see art museums everyday……yawn.(finally visited them many years later on layovers). Back in the day, I went with my mother to NYC. Somehow, he has reached the conclusion it’s the damn buffalo who are responsible for his misery, and he won’t be satisfied until he kills all of them. Miller is a man who has no doubt seen and done a lot of things, things you don’t talk about in polite company, and has come to the point where his default mode is bitterness and disillusionment. Nicolas Cage as Miller is a sight to see, with his unkempt beard, his enormous coat made of buffalo pelts, his ever-present pipe and that shiny dome, which he shaves clean with an ominous-looking straight razor. Rich kid Will agrees to finance the operation, and joins Miller’s team, which also includes the good-hearted but slightly addled, whiskey-sipping, one-handed codger Charlie (Xander Berkeley) and the perpetually miserable and complaining but reliable skinner Fred (Jeremy Bobb), who we know is just going to make trouble every difficult step of the way, as we venture in “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” storytelling territory. Rated R (language, some violence/bloody images and brief sexual content). Saban Films presents a film directed by Gabe Polsky and written by Polsky and Liam Satre-Meloy, based on the novel by John Williams. McDonald scoffs at Will’s softness and his ignorance, warns him that such an undertaking will be the ruin of him - and then proceeds to send him to the tavern to meet a veteran buffalo hunter named Miller (Nicolas Cage), who has long dreamed of making the long and dangerous trek to a near-mythic valley teeming with hundreds if not thousands of buffalo. Will seeks out a crusty old cuss named McDonald (Paul Raci), who stayed with his family for a stretch many years ago. Having dropped out of Harvard, the almost annoyingly optimistic, energetic and naïve young Will Andrews (rising star Fred Hechinger from “Pam and Tommy” and “The White Lotus”) arrives in town with the intention of seeing the West and going out on a buffalo hunt in the “hopes of finding a stronger purpose and more meaning” in his life. You know the place: a few stores scattered around the muddy Main Street a handful of dicey, dangerous types wandering about a hotel with rooms upstairs for weary travelers, a fetching barkeep with a heart of gold who will sleep with you if you have the coin. (Lensing actually took place in Montana). With cinematographer David Gallego shooting breathtaking visuals and the production design and costume teams setting the period-piece tone, “Butcher’s Crossing” is set in and around a fictional frontier town in Kansas. Now Cage is back in the saddle and delivering intense but controlled and powerful work as an obsessive buffalo hunter in Gabe Polsky’s blistering and brutally effective “Butcher’s Crossing.” This is “Moby Dick” meets Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness,” with Cage’s Miller shaving his head and leaning into his growing madness like an 1870s version of Brando in “Apocalypse Now,” which of course was directed by Cage’s uncle Francis Ford Coppala and was loosely inspired by Conrad’s novella. Nicolas Cage was into his fifth decade as an actor and had taken on nearly 100 different roles before we saw him in a Western, namely the quirky and intriguing but even gunslinger/dad movie “The Old Way” from January of this year. When the final production edit is ready, I render in whatever format is needed for delivery. (FYI, Lagarith is not meant for realtime playback but it's great for preserving highest image quality for final output while taking up less disc space.) I keep the same names for both versions to make the swap painless. Then, using VirtualDub (preset and batch render,) I transcode the AVI to a highly compressed low res AVI version for editing on a timeline in Vegas Pro, with the intention to swap it out with the full res Lagarith version when I'm ready to render the final edit. For straight passes that I don't intend to composite, I like AVI with the free Lagarith codec because it's a lossless format. With ASP, I like to render out in one of two formats. When Alisa and I get around to making another short with ASP, I'm probably going to add Toon Boom Animate (for frame by frame segments) and After Effects to our production pipeline. But if you have a ton of lipsync you need to get through quickly, Magpie Pro does the trick-the program is kinda like Papagayo but with more features and it supports a broad range of animation programs. Normally I like to use Magpie Pro to animate the lipsync (It's what we used for Happy Box and what we're currently using for the new Brudders short) but since there was really only one line of dialog in the Scareplane, I just manually animated Switch Layers for the mouth shapes.

For this reason I try to use illustrations that depict the biblical characters in clothes and settings of the time in which the event took place. I personally enjoy some of this artwork but children are usually more literal in their thinking so they can be confused by this. Artistic license allows an artist to interpret events into modern-day settings. Illustrations should reflect the culture and time period of the event.This trivialises the Word of God and does not actually prepare children for real life situations that Christians face. For instance, if you are telling a bible story that involves suffering or temptation it would not make sense for the characters to have smiling faces. I used this picture in teaching the story of the Stoning of Stephen.)Īnd not every story has a “happy ending” for every character. (Note the angry expressions of the synagogue leaders in the picture above. The stories of the Bible involve many different emotions and children study the facial expressions in illustrations to make judgements about the characters. A picture that alludes to the event is more appropriate for young children. But, on the other extreme graphic pictures can be too mature for a younger child and they could be traumatised in some way like having bad dreams. A picture that looks too childish for the age you are teaching shows a lack of respect on your part. Children are quick to tell you that they are not “babies”.

In Texas, six people were found killed and three others were injured Tuesday in shootings in two separate communities. “We are also grateful for the courageous work of law enforcement - who risked their own safety to bring an end to these deadly shooting sprees,” the president said. “Jill and I join citizens across our nation in praying for the families of our fallen, and for those who were injured during these latest acts of senseless violence," Biden said. President Joe Biden said he and first lady Jill Biden are praying for the families of the victims killed at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, today, and in Texas yesterday.īiden said in a statement that UNLV “became the latest college campus to be terrorized by a horrific act of gun violence, and the community is still awaiting information on casualties.” Johnsen said he was "super grateful" his professor let them run out of the building when he did. He made it to the Chipotle across the street and watched the entire event unfold from there. "That's when he told us to run as fast as we can get out," Johnsen said. Thirty seconds later, the professor opened the door to look around and see whether it was safe for the students to leave the classroom, Johnsen recalled. The professor then locked all the doors and told the class to get on the ground. The professor opened the door briefly to look outside, Johnsen said, and the professor's face "turned to panic," Johnsen said, noting that he doesn't know exactly what the lecturer saw. He said that after he heard a loud noise outside - which he doesn't think was a gunshot - his professor resumed lecturing until a loud alarm blared through the building just seconds later. An evaluation will be made over whether to resume activities next week, Whitfield said.īrett Johnsen, a junior at UNLV, was in class on the second floor of Beam Hall when gunfire broke out inside the building. Whitfield said all classes and academic and performing arts activities will be canceled through Sunday. Students late Wednesday were allowed to return to campus housing. Whitfield in a statement called the shooting “unfathomable.” “If it hadn’t been for the heroic actions of one of those police officers who responded, there could have been countless additional lives taken,” McMahill said, adding that “armed confrontation of the suspect by law enforcement stopped the suspect’s further actions.” Tables were set up outside for them to “build Legos.” Several students described hearing gunshots and running for safety. Students were gathered just outside Beam Hall “playing games and eating food” at the time of the shooting, McMahill said. Two university police detectives “immediately engaged the suspect in a shootout” that resulted in the gunman’s death, University Police Chief Adam Garcia said. University police responded to calls of shots fired around 11:45 a.m. The person wounded in the shootings was initially listed in critical condition at a hospital but police later said they were stable. The suspect continued to “multiple floors,” McMahill said, before he was “neutralized” outside the building. He began shooting on the fourth floor of Beam Hall, a building on campus, Las Vegas Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill said. The suspect has not been named but according to law enforcement sources is a man in his 60s. A gunman opened fire on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, on Wednesday, killing three people and wounding a fourth before being shot dead by police. |
