Media Creation in the Digital Age

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm the founder and creator of this blog, a blog that I actually started years ago on Google but now I wanted to transfer the theme and the purpose of that blog to my main site, to tidy things up a bit, if nothing else!

I'm Deborah and I'm a tech nerd. I'm also a video and audio producer, studio musician and filmmaker. I started back in the early 80s, before the advent of digital media. Back then everything was about VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, tapes, audio dubbing decks, and a host of other stuff like infinite numbers of cords and inputs. Sometimes I miss those days. But not usually! Okay so we were the pioneers that started this in the long ago before wireless, digital editing software, and bluetooth. But they were the first days of creation!

Like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were the pioneers (after Xerox and HP) and IBM which missed its chance completely, in the computer revolution, we that learned to create news reels and did studio recording with the large TEAC reels and mix down to a final "cassette" were the pioneers of the digital production age.

We stand beside some of the greats like George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg, Cecille B. DeMille in movies like 'The Ten Commandments' and many other genius works that none today can even attempt to compare to.

Still, the beauty and clarity of digital media is unrivaled as far as sound, crispness, and durability.

So I start this new blog with a hats off to the pioneers of which I was somewhat of a member who were there are the beginning of field production, technical switchers, and RCA patch cords and usher in a new age where digital editing, CGI, and special effx can create anything into existence that we want. With the advent of AI (which we do have mixed feelings about), it practically creates itself.

I said "practically." We would NEVER want to turn our creative work entirely over to AI. In the first place, it can't own a copyright, so you can't sue it for infringement. Secondly, everything AI learned it learned from HUMANS during the "machine learning" phase. Third, it's dangerous.

We'll talk about AI in a future post.

For now, let's just say we are excited to be living in the time we are. We ARE tech nerds and digital media specialists and we're having the time of our lives!
