It is a 4GB USB Flash Drive, and we are VERY excited.

The dvd, as we know it, no longer holds up in terms of quality. We value our clients and only want to give them the very best. Sure, we will provide a few obligatory dvd’s, but when they see the difference it will be obvious. The content on the USB flash drive we provide, is also optimized for uploading to Facebook, Vimeo or You Tube, and gives the client options for burning their own dvd’s and blu-ray dvds.

Also, aside from watching the HD media on your computer, units for TV viewing are available like the WD TV. It has now never been easier to view HD content from a usb flash drive on your TV.

Tech info for other Filmmakers:
These custom flash drives are available from Flashbay, inc. Please make sure you tell them who referred you!
The HD Quicktime content is encoded in H.264, and below are the settings we use to export from FCP:

Special thanks to David Williams and Steve Moses for pioneering the concept!

It was a fantastic star studded affair, where Jack La Lanne unveiled a new program in which a percentage of the sale of his Jack La Lanne’s Power Juicer will benefit the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

The birthday celebration included bodybuilders-turned-TV/movie stars Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California.

“At 95 years old, Jack LaLanne is an extraordinary portrait of strength, character and determination,” Gov. Schwarzenegger said. “He has inspired me and millions of others around the world by the way he lives his life every day and is the perfect example of what staying active, eating right and working out can do for a person. Jack is a great friend who truly embodies the fountain of youth.”

I was honored to be there capturing these memories.

Xanadu was an extravaganza of vivid colors, a Sultan’s Palace replete with 2,000 yards of Fortuny-like patterned silk hanging tent-like from the Convention Center’s 36’-high ceilings. Forty-eight oversized, brightly-colored hanging lanterns helped illuminate the vast interior-tented expanse. Tablecloths and napkins came in a rich kaleidoscope of striking colors: cerulean, royal plum, zanzibar, cerise and lime.

Tables were adorned with signature floral creations by LA Premier Floral Event Design. The floral statistics were staggering: nearly 9,000 orchids; 20,000 roses; 3,000 pheasant and peacock feathers – all arrayed on and around 600 colorfully-painted Manzanita branches.

Also staggering were the food-preparation statistics. Under the watchful (and exacting) eyes of Chef & Founder Joachim Splichal and Executive Chef Alec Lestr of Patina Restaurant Group, 177 on-site chefs prepared food for the 3,500 guests. This is the 14th year Patina has prepared superb dishes for the Emmy mega-events.
