0 comments
It has already been nominated for multiple prestigious film awards. Yet, one of the curiosities about “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is that so little of the film was actually shot on film. In fact, most footage was captured digitally on HD cameras directly to hard drive. Then, the $150 million dollar film was post-produced in Final Cut Pro using a completely tapeless digital HD workflow from camera to final output.

When Nine Inch Nails went on tour, they’re used to be “racks of equipment that we had to carry around to reproduce all the different elements,” explains Keyboard and Sound Technician Mat Mitchell. Now all they need is a MacBook Pro and Logic Studio. With MainStage, says Trent Reznor, “I can do all of my synth work, and my guitar rig, and my vocal processing in an understandable graphic interface that’s easy to change.”
