PostPerspective interview with Colorist Mitch Paulson on Grading Alien: Romulus

Another great interview from PostPerspective. Interesting, and I mostly enjoyed Romulus, in fact much more than I thought I would. A mix of fan service and good movie making, but with some huge plot holes that Lee me from really loving it. Like if they went and found the Alien from Alien, where do all the face huggers come from? They come from a. Queen right? If they also went to LV426 to get them why would Wayland Yutani have sent colonists? And if it was to get them infected just send some prisoners. And they just aren’t able to use dead actors so why bother? It looks awful!

https://www.provideocoalition.com/avid-media-composer-is-now-apple-silicon-native/ OMG, 3 years to get an Apple Silicon native version, wow! Of course I have never worked on an AVID job that was on a current version of AVID, always an old OS and old version, but this news is huge! And adding easy source side waveforms is also huge! I always use the waveforms to edit in Premiere and love the ability to see them and video in DaVinci Resolve so this could not be a more welcome addition!
