NEW ARTICLES AND NEW WEBSITE!

I am delighted to announce a complete redesign of the Digital Production Buzz website. This was more than six months in the making by the Buzz team, led by our incredible web wizard Mina!

Several highlights of the new site: For all the news you need now and in your digital future - check out the Digital Production Buzz. (And thanks, Mina! I am very, very proud of this site.)

RECOMMENDED INTERVIEW

Last week, on the Digital Production Buzz, we interviewed Alan Edward Bell, the editor of The Amazing Spiderman. This was an amazing interview, talking about how he runs the edit room, how he works with massive amounts of CGI footage, the size of his team (15!) and communications - it was an  interview on editing, not technology.

This is the second time Alan was on the show and he is an outstanding guest. If you want to go behind the scenes with the editor in charge of the movie, you'll want to listen to Alan's interview.
