Ars Techica: Good Intentions, (mostly) Bad Filmmaking Advice
“How not to write an article about the post-production pipeline” is what should be the name of an Ars Technica piece was recently posted, “How To Do Pro-Quality Video Post-Production at Home“.
I was about to use this space to issue a screed against the article, and then I read the comments and discovered plenty of others quickly came in and stomped on it.
I won’t get into the specifics of all the things wrong with that article (4:4:4 for BluRay… huh?) other than to say this:
As someone who has a bit of a passion for helping independent, inexperienced filmmakers produce totally professional films – I’m saddened that this is published on such a large and influential website.
