C180-019: Jonathan Houser Creator of Storyboard Composer
One of the things that sets Crossing the 180 apart is that we cover all aspects of video production. From content creators to those who have their pulse on the industry because they make products for filmmakers. At the beginning of our "Business of Hollywood" series we had Chris Huntely and Stephen Greenfield of The Wright Bros. talking about their products for writers. Today we have Jonathan Houser, CEO of Cinemek and creator of a very cool storyboard program for the iPhone, Storyboard Composer. Before he gets into how he came to create Storyboard Composer, he shares his own experiences ...
C180-018: Patrick Moreau of StillMotion
"You need to invest in yourself before you can expect others to invest in you." ~ Patrick Moreau (inspired by Michael Y. Wong) How does a wedding videographer get hired by the NFL to create a series of videos from the Super Bowl to the Draft? Or get recruited by Canon to do a national bus tour teaching about DSLR filmmaking? Well, hopefully today you'll glean the answers to those questions as we interview Patrick Moreau of Still Motion fame. Patrick talks about how he went from a psychology major at university to becoming one of the foremost event filmmakers in the world. ...
C180-017: Yolanda Cochran, Alcon Entertainment Head of Production
From CPA to head of production at a major Hollywood production company, Yolanda Cochran has had quite the ride in "the biz." Her attitude about starting from the bottom, doing whatever is asked (she never said "That is not my job"), and working diligently, had paid of in spades for her. For the past eight years she's been at Alcon Entertainment ("Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," "The Blind Side" and "Book of Eli") and has since become head of physical production. Yolanda will share with us her transition from bean counter to studio exec, what genres in Hollywood are ...
C180-016: Albert Hughes, Co-director of “Book of Eli”
Back in 1993 a little film broke out on the scene that put its co-directors on the map. The movie was the urban gang drama "Menace II Society," and the writer/directors were Albert and Allen Hughes. As we continue our "Business of Hollywood" series, today we have Albert Hughes himself. It's a long-awaited interview, one with great info and insight. Learn about how just 3-days into shooting "Menace," Albert and Allen thought their careers were over (they hated how it was turning out, and got grief but some of the other filmmakers on the movie because they were so green). ...
C180-015: Rodney Charters, A.S.C. – DP on “24″
One of the hottest shows on TV for the past eight years has been Fox's "24." It's verite, block picture-in-picture, and high intensity editing has become a pop culture, signature style. Today we have on the show the man that plays a huge role in the look of the show, it's director of photography, A.S.C. cinematographer Rodney Charters. Rodney talks about background growing up in New Zealand, the son of a photographer. He talks about the changes going on in the industry as we evolve from most TV shows finished on film to being shot on digital; he shares some ...
