After visiting Napa Valley, we drove east on some backroads until we hit Interstate 80. We switched to Highway 50 and made our way into the Sierras, eventually landing in South Lake Tahoe. The terrain in California can change so quickly. The following day we went for a long hike aiming for Maggies Peak. We…

Working with the Canon C100 and FCP 7
We started using the Canon C100 at Talking Eyes Media recently. It is a beautiful camera for a number of reasons, but the only hurdle we had to really jump was incorporating the AVCHD recording format into our Canon DSLR workflow. We are still using Final Cut Pro 7, which cannot read DSLR or the…

The program has helped sex workers feel comfortable reaching out to police when a crime has…
