Digital Video - December 2007 - (Page 4) PREROLL BY DAVID E. WILLIAMS VOLUME 15 NUMBER 12 DECEMBER 2007 DV .COM ROVING REPORTERS erhaps the most common question I’ve been asked as a magazine editor is, “How do you come up with so many ideas for stories every issue?” Fortunately, this is not the dilemma some people assume it to be. Not only are these exciting times in the production and post sectors, but DV magazine is lucky enough to have an array of talented contributors located around the country—and abroad—who reach far and wide to bring their experiences and findings to you. In this issue, Philadelphia-based correspondent Robert M. Goodman offers a personal tour of the recent IBC media tech confab held in Amsterdam (“IBC Perspectives,” page 8), while Austin-based Mike Curtis (pictured on our cover) recounts his cross-country trek to train and shoot with one of the few Red Digital Cinema units to be released (“Yes, It’s Real,” page 20) and columnist Jay Rose chimes in from Brookline, Mass., with pointers on self-improvement (“Audio Solutions,” page 54). From Los Angeles—where your humble editor is also based—DV’s new Technical Editor, Jay Holben, offers the second installment of his ongoing column “DV 101,” which offers his unique perspective on the basics of production and post. Jay is expanding on this effort with his recently launched companion blog found at DV.com (see page 10 for details or, much better yet, log in and check out his online musings for yourself and offer your feedback on the DV Forums). Finally, veteran globetrotter and San Francisco Bay Area resident Stefan Sargent returns this issue with more humorous tales from the trenches (“Production Diary,” page 58). Unfortunately, however, while I’m lucky to have all this far-flung talent (and much more, of course) at my disposal, all is not perfect in the DV universe. It saddens me to report that Managing Editor Goodman (left) Terence Keegan, who has aided me over grills a Sony rep at the past six issues, is leaving the magaIBC about the EX. zine for greener pastures. Terence, who has worked for our parent company for more than a decade, will have my unending gratitude for making my entry into this publication as pain-free as possible. I wish him well. The silver lining, however, is that our first issue in 2008 will welcome a new member of the DV team, one who brings with him years of hands-on production and post experience, as well as exceptional writing chops. While he is today the “player to be named later,” I believe Mr. X will take DV in exciting new directions in the new year. Stay tuned. —David E.
