Welcome to the latest instalment of our meet the team series, which, as the title implies will dive into the background of the amazing people that make up The Finish Line. Meet Chris Batham who joined us in March 2015.

We recently sponsored an event for our friends at Media Parents and just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came a long as well as the wonderful team at Media Parents who made it all happen.

If you missed part 1 about October Films using FLiP to enable cloud editorial catch up here. Jon Hagan the Edit Supervisor for Spring Cleaning Watch (w/t) said we can share his thoughts two weeks in to using FLiP:

October Films have embraced our cloud Post Production service FLiP for Spring Cleaning Watch (w/t) which they are producing for Channel 4.

Final Post: The Finish Line & Vaudeville Client: Optomen Television Talent: Grade and Online by Jean-Paul Vial Brief: The series follows people with serious ailments undergoing treatment to improve their quality of life. The brief was to come up with style that could be instantly recognisable with the series, and to maintain a warm atmosphere whilst dealing with often distressing scenes.

The demo video below is of us using BTSync with Shared Storage and Avid Media Composer working across multiple locations including a laptop, FLiP (cloud based media composer) and our HQ.

This is just a quick video tutorial for a cool way to keep your media more organised in Avid Media Composer when working locally off a drive.

I just wanted to share this tip for fixing drone footage that has heavy aliasing, it can actually be used for any Aliasing/Moire but we get a lot off the drone cameras. It’s something I have struggled with for a while and haven’t found an easy direct fix within avid, if you find one let me know! I tried replicating this process in Media Composer but it didn’t work so this is my best fix for now and does a pretty much perfect job with every shot I have put through so far.

I often hear young people who are trying to get into our industry or any industry for that matter refer to the chicken and egg situation that is how to get experience when every job is asking for people with experience. How do you get experience if no one will give you a job to get it?
