Episode #44 - Welcome to the sixth Fresh Air Award! Four cinephiles continue a Fourwind Films tradition of awarding a film that pushed cinema forward the most as an artform during a particular decade. To be nominated, a motion picture has to have advanced cinema in some way and made a lasting impression on how movies are made. This episode delves into the decade frought with the greatest war ever known to humanity, World War II. To start the episode, our host, Justin Joseph Hall goes through a quick history lesson on what was happening in cinema business during the decade. The four cinephiles who select the nominees in this panel are cinephiles Kevin Cecil, Justin Joseph Hall, John Robert Hammerer, and Kevin Hinman. Any moving images that came out in the appropriate decade is eligible for nomination. Nominations spanned documentaries, shorts, animated films, and feature films.

Choosing Hard Drive Differences

Episode #38 - WARNING: This episode is a workflow episode. It is made for people with extensive knowledge in post-production and can be a confusing listen if you do not have an interest in the material. If you do not have that particular background skip to another one of our episodes. Welcome to another Feature & a Short differences episode where we chat about differences in working in Feature versus short movies. In this episode Director, Editor Justin Joseph Hall explains what criteria to look for when choosing a hard drive in general, but specifically what will save you time on feature projects. Thank you to Bobby O’Brien for requesting this podcast The Biggest difference between a feature & a short is really the transcoding, export time, transfer times (backups). The first thing to look for in either a feature or a short movie is the connection. There are three modern connections found in the fall of 2022 USB-C Thunderbolt USB-3.0 Ethernet connection to a network is also an option if you happen to be working off of a large storage network in an office. Otherwise another storage device to consider is a RAID = redundant array of independent disks. It’s probably not worth it to invest in an expensive RAID for short. There are 3 main ways to set up your RAID. RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 We go through all types, but recommend RAID 0 for editing digital video, mainly because it’s the fastest way to read and write data. Don’t forget to backup your hard drives in three separate physical locations. Plan out before you start post-production where your three locations will be. Justin suggests a few brands G-RAID Seagate LACIE OWC Justin also suggests to diversify backup types including going through what an LTO tape is. Quatre-Vents is Fourwind Films’ sister company in Minnesota! They can be your solution for LTO Tapes and all other Post-Production needs . In the podcast Justin tells how you can get 70% back on video expenditures through tax incentives through Quatre-Vents. Some are direct rebates, just by hiring us and others in the region. Justin also goes through various options of powering your drive and pricing for drives. And don’t forget to always include hard drives in your budgets!
