After an early summer hiatus, fxguidetv is back on the net. We haven’t abandoned the podcast, but simply had a lot of other work to get done as well had a couple of interviews back out. We know our fxguide visitors love the netcasts and we simply want to keep them at a high level.
For episode #28, we have a conversation about stop motion with Richard Chataway of animation company Anifex, as well as a flame-centric batch tip of the week. We’ll also be doing a Siggraph preview show in the coming weeks, as well several cool netcasts from the Siggraph conference in Los Angeles.
If you watch the tip of the week and want to register your opinion, send an email to me.support@autodesk.com and let them know offset TC is a great feature

I love your format. I would love to see you go more geeky on the process that can only be shown visually especially the visual problem solving that the software/hardware you discuss.
When you talk about flaring, details in compositing, multi pass verses in the render approaches.
When you talk about something visual show it more if possible.
To lighten your production load could you set up a network of contributors, that match your quality, that can give you things that you can use through out the year?
thanks for the post. I think we should move fxguidetv even more professional myself -we are discussing this at the moment.
Of course we get very ‘geeky’ and technical inside fxphd.com our training site.
As for other contributors we are always looking for people to help and we’d welcome talking to anyone who’d like to submit tips etc…
thanks
Good, it’s finally back! I needed my fxguidetv fix badly. At least regular fxguide held me over… and redcentre. Can’t ever get enough news about Red.
Speaking of good podcasts: The VFX Show that Mike has been regularly hosting (since Alex Lindsay has pretty much abandoned it) needs to review The Dark Knight, I’m sure that one is coming soon, right guys?
Thanks we have actually already done a dark knight , out soon
Not much to say other than welcome back!
fxguidetv is by far the best resource for industry news, featured spots and workflow tips.
I agree with David Miller’s comment about the geek factor possibly being ramped up a notch as your podcasts do such a nice job of “telling” us, fxguidetv has the strength to really “show” us.
You guys rock, especially Angie.
We all (Jeff, Mike, and I) agree about keeping it high end. I actually wouldn’t really be interested in the show if we targeted the broader audience, so I’m glad I can keep working on it.
Hey thanks …for the new release …I was wondering if you guys want to do it all the months or more regularly…
I would more stuff about .. workflow in big houses or companies ..discussions about the tools the aproches, the pipeline…why and why not use different workflows
Like the postcast about Motion Theory and Luma Pictures
How could I miss this fantastic offset timecode feature? Maybe I should start reading release notes
I’ll send an email to autodesk immediately, luckily 2009 isn’t worth switching over to it yet and they should be able to put it back in during on of the many SP releases to come.
Maybe we can get them to re-introduce the old timeline, slipping a clip has become really annoying.
Thanks for the tipps John, I really hope Autodesk will put up all 2008 Master Classes on their website soon.
Sure thing Andreas — it’s definitely a cool feature. Thanks for watching fxguidetv. We’ll definitely be more regular….hopefully back to our every two week release shortly.
Andreas if you mean the 2008 Master Classes from NAB, they were not videotaped. I understand there were both cost and clearance issues.
Jeff
That’s what I meant Jeff. Sad to hear, I enjoyed watching the 2007 ones.
Thanks for your good work.
Andreas
