EP72 | The Power of Being Genuine (Guest Ted Sim)
Film gear. What a love-hate relationship we have with that term. When it comes to buying the gear we need to make our art, it sometimes feels like we have to maneuver through a sea of snake oil just to find affordable, dependable equipment. Meeting someone who is genuinely interested in providing artists with the tools they need without exploiting them is almost impossible. One of those people, luckily, is our guest this week: Ted Sim. Ted is the President & CBO of Aputure and the host of Indy Mogul. Ted shares Host Mike Pecci’s belief that the best way to learn is to share your knowledge with no BS or gotcha’s. This week, we talk about the chaos that is the world of film gear, focusing on your art, and our intern, Liam, asks Ted about his opinion on one of the most discussed topics in film.Ted's IG:instagram.com/tedsimtvIndy Mogul's YouTube Channel:youtube.com/user/indymogulAputure's YouTube Channel:youtube.com/user/aputurephotoMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.

EP71 | Building Your Toolkit: The Dialect Coach (Guest Aaron Bluestein)
Every time you work on a new project, you gain experience that you can bring with you to the next one. Host Mike Pecci affectionately refers to the tricks and life experience you bring with you as your toolkit. For actors and directors, language is one of the most intricate tools within that toolkit and can make or break an audience’s experience. Aaron Bluestein, our guest this week, is a dialect coach who has worked on projects including Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse & with Anthony Hopkins in The Two Popes. We’re excited to really dissect how dialect can affect a film’s immersion and how actors and directors can add language and dialect to their toolkit.Check out Aaron's website: https://www.aaronbluesteindialectcoach.com/Follow Mike Pecci on Instagram:instagram.com/mikepecciFollow us on Instagram:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodJoin our Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.

EP70 | Writing: Killing The Banker (Guest Paul Pecci)
There’s no expiration date on artistic ability. The saying is that the best time to invest your money was 10 years ago, but the second best time is now. The same can be said for your artistic career. Paul Pecci, our host Mike Pecci’s father, is well-versed in both sides of that phrase. Paul spent most of his life as a banker, but connected with his family through art and after “killing the banker” (his words) has focused on his artistic passions and writing.Follow Paul on instagram: @paulpecciauthorCheck out his book THE PECCI CHRONICLES – Confessions of a Corsair : https://pmpecci.com/bookpage/On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+pecci+chronicles&crid=3WOW6MAXP370&sprefix=The+Pecci+Chronicles%2Caps%2C154&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_20Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.

EP65 | The Science of Cinematic Lighting (Guest Tim Kang of Quasar Science)
We’ve all heard about how great LEDs are. Not only are they cooler, easier to handle, and use less energy than tungsten options, you can even program them to be any color of the rainbow. Or so they say… Cinematographer Tim Kang comes from a scientific background, and uses both his technical and artistic skills as a Color Scientist for Quasar Science. We attended an event where Tim showed us in person the limitations of RGB technology, and now we get to talk with him about what that means for LED technology in the future. Get ready for a nerdy dive into the science behind lighting.Color Scientist Explains the Problem with RGB Lights: youtu.be/5U-F7EhLp7gThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?Rule Boston Camera: www.rule.com/Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.
