I recorded this episode with special recurring guest, Rhonda Thain, way back in December when Josh took off for his LA trip. But for some odd reason I've never gotten around to releasing it (that reason could be because I am a master procrastinator).
So a thousand apologies to you for withholding this episode! But you're in for a treat because this one is JAM-PACKED with helpful words from Rhonda. We hit on some topics related to how to work better like:
...as well as offering some commentary on some relevant topics like:
So sit back with your coffee, enjoy the episode and start thinking about where on your wall you can mount a plaque with the words "This too shall pass" there to remind you when you're deep into your work and pushing your physical and mental limits.

In this episode we talk about some ways to create some side coin in addition to your typical bread 'n butter.
It's nice to pad the bank account with some supplementary income. Here are some ideas of how you can do that. Creating stock video/audio while simultaneously filming for another project? Utilizing a parallel skillset like photography or motion graphics? Time to think outside the box and bring in some extra cash on the side.
Here's what we talk about in this episode:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, listeners!
The holidays are upon us which means only one thing: year-end deadlines are looming for our many projects and we are all doomed!
...
I mean...we get to ask Santa for what shiny new toys we could use for next year!
Whether being gifted to us by a jolly fat man, our loved ones or just a little treat to ourselves for retaining our sanity this year, we all have some top requests on our list. What's on your list? More hard drives? Subscription to Adobe for another year (or five)? An editing assistant who works for coffee?
Josh and I list off our top gift requests from Santa this year and had better see a few of these under the tree this year.
Share with us your own Christmas wants via Twitter and we'll see it gets received by the Big Man himself.

In this episode we bring our friend Twain Richardson on to guest as he tells us all about setting up a career right in the heart of Jamaica. Establishing oneself in a market where production is pretty sparse compared to the likes of LA and NY can be immensely challenging. While most people feel the pressure to move to Hollywood to "go where the work is", there are those who thrive where they are and set themselves as a niche service provider in the TV and commercial industry.
If you are currently considering whether you need to relocate to be successful, give a listen to Twain's story.

Nick and Josh reunite to bring you a conversation about Nick’s life-altering, career-changing decision… his move to the office life!
Nick recently began a contract that rips him out of his spare bedroom editing bay and thrusts him into the middle of an office in busy Toronto.
In this episode Nick and Josh catch up and recap Josh’s recent visit to meet Nick IRL. You’ll learn, as Josh did, that Canadians don’t know this one basic fact about the US.

In this episode we chat it up with Luke Guidici, screenwriter and generator of really strange story concepts.
He's worked in LA as an extra, grip, PA, camera operator, AD, producer, editor, falconer, writer and director. In our interview he lets loose with some steps to break you out of your funk and into writing stories NOW, plus some techniques that even some larger movies fall short on that you should focus on like "save the cat" and "show, don't tell" (for GOD'S sake, do the latter one).

Before you press play know that I am truly an unlucky fellow. Some problems arose during recording of this episode that may or may not have had to do with my new webcam that I bought...so that Josh could finally see me while we record.
Initially the episode was written off and scrapped, but...we decided to put it out as is.
I'll explain everything within the episode but it does reach a point where it abruptly ends, the rest was lost to the abyss. But what we did manage to record was still good stuff, including:
So consider this a bonus episode of sorts. Enjoy!

Mae was bartending and raising a daughter in Atlanta when a producer approached her after seeing her music mashup projects that she continued to work on in her spare time.
Self-taught and self-propelled, after seeing a trailer for Zack Snyder's 300 she immediately vowed to become an editor.
She's a delightful and talented person to begin with but she's also a real-life example of what you should do if you're passionate about your work but have no doors open to you to the industry.

Happy 30th Birthday, Josh! Join me in congratulating him for surviving on this earth for 30 straight years without incident. Tweet the show or leave a comment and I'll make sure he gets it. Send beer.
Long work hours. No sunlight. Dwindling social life and home time. With only the occasional interaction with a human. It can get pretty lonely in the edit bay.
Today we talk about how depressing it can be working in post (whether solo at your home office or with a team in a studio) and how you can beat those post-pro blues with just a few changes to your day.
You know what else will make you weepy? Wipster's big changes to their pricing plan. The video review service made several editors the world over shout in frustration with their 400+% price hike to their plans. Find out how this affects you and what other options there are. (psst...and if you ask us, you should be using Screenlight anyways).
Remember us gushing about how awesome Soundstripe is? (for those who didn't, listen to Episode 65 with our interview with Travis and Micah from Soundstripe). Now you can sign up for an account with them AND help out the podcast at the same time!
Soundstripe is now a proud (we assume) sponsor of the Command+Edit Podcast! Use this link to get access to Soundstripe's music library and get unlimited tracks and licences for all of your projects. One size fits all, no more worrying about those expensive licences or how many tracks the budget can afford.

"Play it, Sam" - Ilsa, Casablanca
Finding the right music track for your project can be maddening, what with so many choices to pick from out there. And sometimes you can have trouble finding the words to describe what music track you're searching for. On top of that each music licence has its own price tag so you may be limited by your budget (or your own wallet).
Today we are kicking it off with an interview with Travis Terrell and Micah Sannan from Soundstripe, a subscription-based music library that allows you endless uses of its music tracks for all of your projects till the end of time!
You can sign up for as little as $10/month and have full access to their ever-growing library of music
