CD's are over, Digital downloads the future?

Nevertheless, it’s clear that the CD is on its last legs. With iTunes the largest music retailer in the U.S., having sold billions of songs, and with iPods selling like lattes in a neighborhood coffee house, the music industry is rethinking its distribution. Are we tired of devices that play disc that go around in a circle?  Many years ago sitting in the studio we would talk about the future of music delivery and dreamed about having the whole Beatles library of work on a computer clip or something like that.  We are a multi tasking mobile type people who are requiring a portable listening experience!

Foley Sound for film at Binary Recoding Studio

We do audio post for films and video's. It can be a short or a feature we often end up doing foley sound effects.
We have a huge sound effect library but often they just don't work. When it is about timing, getting the right sound for the scene and the ambience foley sound will often be alot faster then editing together 400 footsteps in sync.

Here is a video of Gary Hecker doing his thing, the man behind the sound ( Empire Strikes to Robin Hood)

Orignal Music for your film

Many independent film makers come to Binary Recording Studio for their post audio work with no idea what to do for music for their films.
I have composed music and have purchased music rights from major artist for my films,  example: ("Hungry like a Wolf" Duran Duran)  so I understand publishing rights etc..... But I really enjoy working with other composers for the idea's they bring into the project.  This is a website that can hook you up with some composers. http://scoreascore.com  I like how this site is laid out. It allows you to audition the composer with an example of your footage

World's Fastest Dolly Shot



Being a user of film and video technology, when I read a headline "World's fastest dolly shot" I am in for the read.  The use of high speed camera's and a dolly that is moving 60+ miles per hour allows us to enjoy something we have not seen before.  Enjoy this clip and how they made it.     To view content click here

Canon 5d with pixel sensor spots





We received some video footage that was shot on a Canon 5d with dead pixel sensor spots on the footage.
It looks like little red dots and depending on the sensor problems it can be many or just a few.  This footage we were ask to work on had about 4 little red dots in a close cluster. Trying to build a mask to fix the problem was not working because of all the movement in the shot and hard to track.  We ended up fixing it using Photoshop CS6 which has a video editor in it now.  Its one frame at a time but the footage was saved use the clone feature.
