Supercharging a 2010 Macbook for the World of 2014 and Beyond
When I visited my family out West, I showed my sister and my brother in law my fast, spiffy used Macbook Pro I7 which I picked up for a very reasonable price. It’s a 2010 model, but with a few upgrades it is a quick, responsive editing and on-the-go machine, even though it’s a few …

Syncing like Dropbox Without Dropbox, Unlimited, Free
As a low-budget cinematographer who is also a family man and has to make a buck, I’m always conscious of how I am spending my company money. A little research can almost always save money, sometimes hundreds of dollars. This is why I’ve decided not to renew my 100GB dropbox account. As much as I …

National Maritime Day
It was a privilege to travel to the United States with the North American Maritime Ministry Association to put together this video for National Maritime Day. The video had to be edited the same day, which was a challenge as I had to change locations three times while editing. However, despite all odds, it came …
Making Videos about Seafarers Welfare
The shipping industry is amazing–bigger than Microsoft, more invisible than the CIA. In April I had the chance to travel to Stamford, Connecticut for the North American Maritime Ministry Association to do a series of interview videos and conference recordings. It was a challenging schedule, and each night I would take the footage I had recorded …

Making a Hackintosh (laptop) for Adobe Premiere (CS6)
I love my 27″ iMac for editing, don’t get me wrong, but since my daughter came along, and my sister-in-law and her family moved in, I’ve sometimes had to re-locate my office from home to the local Starbucks, Tim Hortons, or even the quiet café frequented by seniors in my local shopping centre.
