Strategies in Filmmaking: Michael Cioni’s “Golden Nuggets of Filmmaking” Part 2
“Golden Nuggets of Filmmaking” – Part 2
Michael Cioni
President & CEO, Light Iron
Previously on the Hurlblog, we brought you the first two videos from Michael Cioni’s “Golden Nuggets of Filmmaking” – “#1 Glass. Glass. Glass.” and “#2 Fidelity Counts.” We are continuing to release Michael’s presentation with the next two “golden nuggets.” Michael covers “#3 Future Proofing” and “#4 Price Per Frame.”
Michael offers incredible insight into the evolution of the film landscape, diving into valuable areas of both technical and philosophical perspectives on filmmaking. Michael has made a lasting impact on the film world over the years and will continue to do so in the future, especially since Light Iron was purchased by Panavision in early December of 2014.

The iMac 5k is 10bit?
RG, I will check with my team and Michael, but I believe we have read that the 5K iMac will be capable of 10-bit in an upgrade within the operating system.
