Nino Leitner shooting interviews with Jason Segel (“How I Met Your Mother”, “The Muppets”, “The Five-Year Engagement”)

 Part 2

In the second part of the interview (iTunes link here, direct link to the file here) we talk much more about my recent work and what drives me. I am particularly happy to talk about the “Mosaic of Life” shoot with Rodney Charters and with director Alicia Brauns, which I was a part of recently. It dealt with a holocaust survivor (Alicia’s dad Jack Brauns), an amazing man, who came back to Germany for the first time since World War II. I will blog about this soon in detail but here are some of the important impressions from that experience.

But here’s the content, copied over from the Need Creative / Anticipate Media website:

In this special 20th episode of the NeedCreative Podcast, your co-hosts Paul Antico and Jason Sidelinger were joined again via Skype by special guest Nino Leitner of NinoFilm in Austria to continue the discussion on Final Cut Pro X, and then talk about his various experiences with digital filmmaking. The NeedCreative Podcast is supported by Kessler (www.kesslercrane.com) and Rule Boston Camera (www.rule.com).

There was a ton we talked about. These are but a few highlights this week:

• Paul goes over the Sony “F Bomb” – the new F5 and F55 cameras (learn more here http://ninofilm.net/blog//2012/10/30/sony-f5-f55/)
• Red had a few tricks up their sleeve this past week too. 4K for 4K finally?
• We continue talking about Final Cut Pro X and our worries about Apple’s Pro future 
• Nino talks about how he got started in filmmaking
• “The Mosaic of Life” shot Nino with Rodney Charters
• Film Festivals – do they help or hurt getting your work out?

• Selling emotion and empathy vs flash and dash – the substance of story
• Advice for those entering the freelance filmmaking/video business
• Making money off YouTube…or not
