[VIDEO] Zack Arnold – GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story (August 22, 2013 BOSCPUG)
Zack Arnold, editor of the hit USA Network series Burn Notice, discusses the completion of his first documentary, GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story. Presented at the Boston Creative Pro User Group on August 22, 2013 in the Bright Family Screening Room at The Paramount Center at Emerson College.
The purpose of this film is simple: To tell Christopher’s amazing story and share his GO FAR program with those that it can truly help. In life, Chris was incredibly accomplished, optimistic, spiritual, and inspirational to everyone that knew him. He developed his GO FAR program just before his death and was unable to share it with the world. With this film, Chris’ message and legacy can live on through his teachings. Chris was an incredibly passionate advocate for the disabled, and his goal was very simple – for people to understand that having a physical disability does not necessarily mean having a mental one. After viewing this film, those with disabilities will have an example for how to achieve their goals in life, no matter the obstacles. And those without disabilities will gain a new perspective on the amazing abilities those with disabilities can possess.

[VIDEO] BOSCPUG: Phil Hodgetts – LumberJack, Producer’s Best Friend (August 22, 2013)
Philip Hodgetts shows a preview of the now shipping reporting tool Producer’s Best Friend and demos Lumberjack, a web based app for real-time logging reality tv and documentary production. Presented at the Boston Creative Pro User Group on August 22, 2013 at the Bright Family Screening Room, The Paramount Center, Emerson College.
Producer’s Best Friend is a new $99 application from Assisted Editing/Intelligent Assistance that takes FCP X timeline or event data and generates customizable reports in an Excel spreadsheet format.
Producer’s Best Friend creates an Excel spreadsheet report about the video clips, audio clips, markers, keywords, effects and transitions you’ve used in Final Cut Pro X (10.0.6 or later). Producer’s Best Friend reports on Clips in an Event, Compound Clip or Project. It is billed as ‘Editors: Learn how to get home earlier!’ and for the bean counters ‘Producers: Learn how to save your valuable time on production!
To demonstrate the real-time workflow of LumberJack, Philip interviews Daniel Berube about the history of BOSCPUG, using two NEX 7’s (set up ahead of time). At the end of the interview Philip imports the interview into FCP X and quickly creates multiclips and exports the XML to LUMBERJACK. Then he will merge and go back into FCP X logged and with a string out of all the answers, cut between the two cameras. All this live and without a net.
