Re: No Country For Old Men - Walt and Everyone

I'd beware of making statements like, " oh, a quick primary grade and a few secondary qualifications" and it'll be a snap. Well, at least until you've got a couple of dozen A-List features under one's belt. Then you can be Sonnenfeld-casual, or Doyle, or a very few others... not me, for sure. Hey, I'll bet there's a "No Country for Old Men" plugin in the COLORFX room!

Picture is a picture, sure... like sailing a Sunfish on a puddle compared to captaining an ocean liner. Yah, its just another boat.

Thanks for clearing that up, Mike. In a lot of cases, its the carpenter, not the tools -- this is a very old and boring argument -- but the tools have to fit the environment.

Sadly, following these fora for a few years now, the general posting goes like this: "I'm new to COLOR and I'm having problems getting my HDV project done with FireWire on a consumer monitor". This is the general constituency, by far the bulk of users.
Meanwhile Apple is actually claiming full DI-flow on the BEST PICTURE of the year (at least according to AMPAS)? Interesting, interesting.
They're not going to get there like this, certainly not at this pace or with the product the way it is. FilmLight, Iridas, Autodesk,... they're all snorting into their beer, and it ain't Budweiser.

What I'm curious about is, where is the investment going to come from that will be required to fund the further development of this app.. when there is basically no traceable revenue stream. It come fo'free wid FCP. FT was expensive. It came with support, but no more. Apple is going to keep bulldozing money at it without charging for it? How's that going to go down with the shareholders?
