Episode 6 has arrived! Please welcome John Corcoran (but everyone calls him “Corc”) who used to live here (and there, and also there) and is now in California and like the rest of us, retired. He’s got a lot of his own funny tales to tell!
MEDIA WAR STORIES – BEHIND THE SCENES TALES FROM MEDIA’S FRONT LINES
This is the show Garry and I were able to watch being edited. What a cool experience! There are a few similarities with the kind of processing I do, but there are a lot more differences than similarities.
For a start, the complexity of it compared to still photo editing? It’s a different world. There are things you can do that you never imagined were doable — and then there are relatively simple things that in video are more difficult. You are mixing multiple videos — in this case three. One from Connecticut (Tom). On from Massachusetts (Garry). The last from Los Angeles (Corcoran). And you are mixing sound. There are layers on layers. Impressive!
Plus, there were additions of still photos to augment the chatter. All in all? It was more than I would be able to do, even if I understood all the technology — which I sort of understand, but not well enough to actually use it. The process requires remarkable dexterity — physical and technical — and a lot of focus.

SERENDIPITY: SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
It’s pretty amazing that Tom can do all that at home and come up with something that looks like it was produced in a TV studio.

I suppose all those years working at CBS weren’t in vain. But also, the equipment has come a very long way in a pretty short amount of time. Basically, he can do on one piece of equipment what used to require many more AND a studio. It is remarkable anyway. There’s a LOT of stuff going on.

The technology is remarkable.

Really impressive — and Tom knows how to use it. If he were just starting to figure it out, well, that would be a whole different ball of wax. But he’s got a lifetime of work experience where he learned “the ropes.”

It went surprisingly well. The most complicated part was getting everyone together given the time difference between L.A. and here.
