Hosting the PostNAB
For the 8th year in a row, me and my Final Cut MTL partners are hosting the 2012 PostNAB show. PostNAB is a fair and a series of conferences where we invite production and postproduction related manufacturers, developers and resellers to show there new products. The event is usually held in Montreal a month or so after the NAB Show in Las Vegas.
This year I won’t show any product but I’ll be the MC. However, we’ll have a bunch of very prestigious guests:
- Marc-André Ferguson of Autodesk will show us the redesigned version of Smoke 2013 4 days before the actual beta is released.

- Adobe will also be there to give us a run through of Premiere, SpeedGrade and After Effects CS6

Next project for National Geographic
I can’t really show any footage for now so stay tuned to National Geographic for a show I’m working on. Here is the description as seen on the producer’s website:
“Traveller’s Tales” is a new and original 10 episodes documentary series. It will be an informative travel show that emphasizes each city as a fantastic travel destination, but at the same time draw attention to the potential pitfalls that await the unwary tourist. They range from ticket touts to pickpockets, with some schemes so clever and sophisticated they can fool even the most experienced traveller. It’s the eternal tug of war between tourist and those who target tourists. At the end of each episode we’ll see who comes out ahead, and learn some essential lessons to enhance every traveller’s experience.
It is shot on RED Epic, 7D, GoPro and a bunch of spy cams. I tag-team for the colour grading with Pierre-Luc Rioux on DaVinci Resolve.
Commercial for organ donation
This is a series on French and English commercials I did for Transplant-Quebec. Mainly close ups of very expressive and emotional portraits. It was all shot on Sony F3 in Log. All graded by yours truly in Resolve. I’ll post more of those later.
