As
a Final Cut Pro teacher and instructional author who
specializes in issues of workflow, organization, and
media management, I've been excited about Final Cut
Server for a while. Now that I've had a chance to tour
the software, my first impression is that it represents
something huge but so far we have only seen a fraction
of it's potential.

first, what does Final Cut Server do? Why it is so
important? The functionality of the software can be
broken down into six main
areas:

chapter 3 of 3D Movie

movie were just shooting it with a single camera. And
what distinguishes a feature movie from a birthday party

before, during, and after the production on location.
People who talk about two cameras are either ignorant of
the moviemaking craft, or are insulting both 2D and 3D
cinematography by reducing them to technical gestures
when they are long and collaborative creative processes.

cinematography never made it simpler - it just made bad
movies.
