Episose 14: Something different this week…
By Aharon Rabinowitz
Published on Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Hi folks-

This week’s episode of Red Giant TV is a bit different than usual. While it’s not a tutorial per se, it is, IMHO, one of the best episodes we’ve had so far…

This week on Red Giant TV, Sundance acclaimed filmmaker/director Eric Escobar discusses the production process – scouting locations, casting, lighting, filming, and how one needs to plan for post production during these earlier steps. This episode is full of great advice for the filmmaker and post production artist alike. It also covers great techniques for users of the Magic Bullet product line.

You can watch the episode here.

Also, don’t forget, just for watching the tutorial, you can get a discount on Magic Bullet Everything (no that’s not an actual product name -  I just mean any Magic Bullet product). You can get that discount here.
