Lunch with Michael Horton

The next guest in our lunch series is LACPUG and Supermeet founder Michael Horton.

Michael Horton’s  career is well documented – the first of our guests with a Wikipedia entry. Michael is also one of my longest standing and closest friends. We met at a LACPUG meeting long before I moved to the USA and he endeared himself to us when he was the first to review The DV Companion for Final Cut Pro back in 1999.

Like your set up for the interview. I do a some close quarter interviews during film festivals and was thinking about going to gopro cameras as well for minimal set ups. So I’m guessing you used two gopro 4k with each person on a wireless microphone? Editing in real time with ipad switcher or after?

Happy Holidays,
