Fix It In Smoke

Summary: On this episode of That Post Show, Kanen talks with Joel Osis about the pros and cons of Autodesk Smoke 2013, why a strong user community is so important, and the pricing of post production software. There may even be a little Final Cut Pro X discussion in there. The Song This episode features the hit song, "HERE WE GO" by Mike J Nichols. Now available in iTunes for 99 cents! Housekeeping If there's one take away from this episode, it's that Flame artists are jerks, but the good news is there are only 14 of them. Also, no matter what camera you have or software you have access to, make cool stuff. There's really no excuse. That Post Plea Please take the time to write a review of That Post Show in iTunes.

We even use it ourselves in many of the scenes in Hero Punk. We are also sponsored by Red Giant Software. Red Giant makes amazing digital video plug-ins for compositing software and NLEs such as Adobe After Effects, Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Nuke and Sony Vegas. They also make fantastic short flims showing how great their products are and just came out with an impressive new product, Bullet Proof for managing your file based footage from camera to NLE. We'd like to thank Avid for being a continuing sponsor. They make Media Composer and Pro Tools. They also make Symphony, which we've started falling in love with. And, they make the Avid Artist Series of control surfaces, which work in Avid Symphony and Smoke -- so, how's that for a deal?
