@shitmydadsays is the Twitter account of Justin Halpern, a (formerly) unemployed 29-year-old living with his foulmouthed 74-year-old dad. From the Twitter handle, you can probably guess what Justin tweets: the expletive-laced sayings of his father. Soon, the 30-minute sitcom version of these 140-character sayings, titled "Sh*t My Dad Says," will be coming to CBS as a sitcom. This is the first time a Twitter account has been acquired for adaptation, although Fox did pick up@TFLN in September - but TFLN, better known as "Texts from Last Night," was a web site before it was a Twitter account.
Another year has come and gone and another NAB Show in Vegas has proven, like times in the past, that the film and video industry is still very much full of amazing innovations and a great community overall.
Reportedly over 60,000 people made the trek to NAB this year, and we were lucky enough to interact with dozens of great brands as they showcased their latest camera announcements, tech innovations, and gear improvements.
If you weren’t able to make it out this year yourself, or if you were there but just too caught up in the sheer size and spectacle of it all to remember all the info from every booth at the conference, here’s all of our coverage in one place.
Our YouTube Coverage
Before we dive into sharing all of our article links below, we do want to highlight our video coverage from the conference floor. This year we partnered with Cinematography for Actors who served as our video hosts and helped us bring the latest news and coolest tech innovations to you directly on our YouTube channel.
Check out our full YouTube coverage in the playlist above.
The Cameras
Let's first start off with the cameras (and camera-related gear) from this year's NAB Show. We got some big news right off the bat from Blackmagic with their URSA Cine 12K and PYXIS 6K announcements, as well as some very cool details about previously announced cameras like the Sony BURANO and tons of helpful new tools and features in this space.
As AI continues to be the hottest topic in many video eidting discussions, we were eager to talk with some of the big players in this space as we chatted with Adobe and Blackmagic about how they see the industry evolvoing in this new AI age.
Another hot topic at NAB this year was how the industry is going to shift to keep up with new trends in virtual production as workflows are looking to become more advanced and sophisticated, with monitors (including 8K monitors) becoming an even more integral part of productions.
There were also some very notable updates from different players in the cloud storage and video review and collobration platforms like Frame.io to check out.
