Welcome to the Alan Smithee Podcast in which hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the latest news in production, post production, entertainment, tech and beyond. In this, our Thanksgiving episode, the gang each share the top 3 tech things that helped their careers and or, continue to shape our industry today. Discussions include: innovation in production tools, the evolution of workflows due to the rise of digital media and, the transformative influence of social platforms on the industry. There’s another update on the 2024 Rates Survey, a discussion on the new Mac’s and of course, there’s a bunch of really cool things for us post production people to get excited about.
