Run Rampant

Summary: On this episode of That Post Show Kanen talks with Sean Mullen of Rampant Design Tools. Sean tells us his origin story, then the two go on to talk about how today's tools compare to the past, and how the kinds of things Rampant offers can help editors and artists at all points along the proverbial ladder. The Song This episode features the hit song, "Here We Go!" by Mike J. Nichols. Now available in iTunes for 99 cents! Housekeeping *Participating in this That Post Show may involve "taking a drink".* For those following along at home, the old school effects workflow started when you felt a Shake, which probably meant someone used a Nuke, and that usually led to Combustion, and of course then you smelled Smoke which implied a Flame and by the time it was done you could enjoy the Lustre of the fresh tape you laid off to. Now you can just open AfterEffects. Kanen supports that Rampant Design's name was inspired by zombies. Also, Steve Cohen reminds you that YOU are the editor, not your NLE.
