Hey Hey Hey How are you today Leo Laporte here the tech guy time to talk computers the Internet Home Theater digital photography I'm here to help. Oh you're talking to Carol who's a casting director. I had no you know this is an interesting universe she casts extras so she's not casting the main characters but she's casting extras and she had an interesting problem there is casting software that specifically will do all the things she wants but she said I was surprised to hear this that these companies who generally give their software away do so because then they use the information in the casting database to solicit the extras you want prints you want headshots we can make those for you they make their money. Off of up selling to the extras themselves and Harrison I don't want to do that with my actors I feel a responsibility to protect the protect the actors protect the talent so she wants to not use some of the off the shelf casting software but do it I think Google photos will do it as long as you have bandwidth if you don't have bad what you got to say you've got the same problem with any program because if you've got multiple people using it and in the data stored in the cloud bandwidth is going to be a critical issue no matter what I think Google photos Google's got more bandwidth than anybody specially in Virginia you're good they're very close to the Google Big Google network operations center an over there. I think you're going to I think you can get the best results it's a question is learning to use the the capabilities of Google photos which really are mind boggling the search capabilities alone the artificial intelligence built in and then the ability to create multiple albums all of that I think could probably get the job done she said if you're in Virginia you listen the show you're going to be in Virginia this fall and you'd like to be an extra in a in a show she's casting for. They haven't set the rate yet but she says more than minimum wage Carol Grant casting dot com She can you give me a plug I said I sure can Carol Grant casting dot com because I think the fun wouldn't casting in Virginia through July through October. Oh actually it says on our Web page what it is it's a series for Showtime Ok an epic pre Civil War period piece you know I bet you there are a lot of Civil War reenactment folks who have excellent sideburns and can bring their own muskets 808088 s. Leo the phone number on we go with the show line 3 John is in Portland Maine hello John Hey Leo How are you I'm wonderful how are you pretty good what can I do for you today I have a computer I have a graphics card and I read Stipe secondary Yeah it has to h.d.m.i. To display ports right quite No I have to. Keep the clock didn't deviate to my Can I put a 3rd monitor but I'll kill it. You probably that's a pretty high end graphics card that's a nice graphics card a gamer. Not very good you don't have to be good to have good equipment. It's of that's a real that's one of the newer radio on cards a very nice card in Usually you can handle many monitors with these modern cards have lots of Ram lots of horsepower. I mean it won't hurt it to try plugging it in you've got you know there's 4 ports on there you can also look in the manual on the 57 and see how many monitors it can handle before is not too many for most modern video cards and this is one of the most modern This is a very nice card so I think you're probably all right what game you play I tried to play cookie yeah have you tried for a night have you tried for night. No the problem is. For people of a certain age you and me and by that I mean anybody over 20. There's all these teenagers in there who have very fast twitch reflexes and minds that have been carefully honed over the last decade to play these games better than any adult and you just go in there and never pub Jian fortnight they're what we call battle royale games where if you get killed the game's over so every time I play those games it's over practically the minute I get in there but keep trying and don't give up Ok. Yeah you should be I think that's a nice card you know you'll say if you look at the manual or look online you'll see how many monitors it can handle I wouldn't run out and buy a monitor I'd try it before you buy anything but it won't hurt anything to plug in for monitors and see nowadays people often run multiple monitors like you know I I can't it's hard for me to work without 3 monitors on my desktop I need Scott Orange County California tech guy Scott. To go on that it's great you're doing. So well good editing video and you have albums you didn't like what he hears now got this new production not. Checked out so you know what you get it wasn't good police doubt. Are you are you are you drooling Scott are you drooling. So you're still you're still using Final Cut. Yeah oh yeah yeah. We you know we use Final Cut for years in our podcast of course we don't need anything we're not doing feature films or anything but when Apple re did Final Cut they took out a critical feature for us an ability to use a sand so we just abandoned it we went to dummy premier and abandoned Max We bought a bunch of Dell Precision workstations that have been great work courses for us but I have to say these new mac pros this is exactly what Apple should have done 6 years ago it's a great thing. They start get ready they start at $6000.00 without a keyboard mouse or monitor we don't know that's all we know we don't know and by the way that's a ridiculously under-performance $6000.00 you only get 8 cores you only get $32.00 gigs a rammy only get a $256.00 gig hard drive no one knows how much they'll cost I'm guessing at least if you want to get you know fairly well equipped one with enough memory to do the editing you need to do and mostly the storage you need high speed storage will be off the Thunderball 3 port won't be internal but you'd like to have some speedy storage you're going to be it's going to set you back $2530000.00 easy and then don't forget the $76000.00 for the monitor. Which you probably don't need you probably don't need but it's. There let's say really spend out just the rain I'm sure you know the one point like. Dave that may have 20000 Watts Yeah just for the ram and if you look at that as eon w. Processor there they're seeing a 28 cores e n w processor those can be as much as 10 $1000.00 for the chip. So the chip in the Ram alone we're talking 30 grand I've sure would be easy to get this computer up to $100000.00 but but you tell me because you're a pro. You don't mind spending a lot of money for the gear you're using day in day out if it's going to save you time and let you do a better job it's worth it right this is your this is your tool All right on a little bit of a curve. I'm 61 now and I've been doing this research since I was 30 right yeah. They are hearing you documentary certain my i Phone I know I know. You got That's right. So you can kind of an example so I'm going to Vegas right now I'm going to park. She have allusion. Go out of Vegas and parts yelling out writing. Upload trivia there is like you know again and so on I'm doing a little mini documentaries on my art. One just know that there will be any I don't think there's anything on my phone and giving it up to you but your . Music and your neck and yeah and well this is the point is it there are many ways nobody's going to say that's the only way to make a movie any more then they're going to say now you have to go out and get a Lexus camera to make the movie we have choices but if you wanted to do a movie in h.d.r. With 8 k. And you wanted to edit it in a reasonable time frame you might want a macro but you could afford a macro right so I think this is for a special part of the market you're absolutely right everything you want to do could be done on the phone. I literally do not need their documentary and you're getting out of jail house right that's right and that's what's exciting absolutely exciting about the era that we're in I mean the tools to make this stuff. Both the high end and the low end are better than ever so you get to you know get out of the way you're probably you're not quite old enough nor my but you probably remember when everything changed in Hollywood. And it was right around it was in the seventy's right around the time of Bonnie and Clyde which was the Warren Beatty movie that really was the 1st of a new generation of filmmakers filmed primarily out in the field because prior to that the cameras used to make movies were so big you couldn't go outside. You had to do it in a sound stage and so location photography that was pretty special but in 1967 Bonnie and Clyde shot entirely on location for the 1st time with cameras that were small enough for somebody to take outside they were still bigger than they are today but they worse for the 1st time it changed filmmaking it changed filmmaking in the movies we saw starting with that movie in the sixty's in the seventy's and the eighty's were so different from the movies we saw in the fifty's in the sixty's Well that's what we're going through now forget you know 16 millimeter camera you can put on your shoulder and you could do it with a phone in your pocket and I think as far as I'm concerned all that all that really means is the scope for creativity is unlimited and you have filmmakers who can afford an Alexa but they can afford a i Phone making amazing things that the thing that doesn't change Scott is the talent that you bring to the game as as a professional editor or a professional screenwriter actor or director. It just means talent is more important you don't have to have $60000000.00 to make a feature film. But if you have the talent you can do some mazing things and I think that's that's what's so exciting about the Internet era. And and you know there's negatives we talk all the time about the negative of You Tube and the horrific effect You Tube it had on the psyche of a whole generation but at the same time it also enabled creators with virtually no money to have a voice and I think that that's very exciting especially if you've got town especially at them Hey nice to talk to you enjoy your trip to Vegas going down $15.00 Leo Laporte the tech our show today brought to you by Carbonite if you've got a business you've got data and if you've got data you have a responsibility to protect that data Carbonite is the Data Protection platform for business don't be the next headline the next company that writes off $100000000.00 like Merck did because of ransomware you protect your data Carbonite has all the things you need to protect all the data you have whether it's enterprise great endpoint protection for laptops and smartphones including remote White capabilities and end block level encryption they have scalable secure server backup solutions they have flexible deployment models including real time replication and cloud fail over so if you need to you're never down not even for one minute they have backup and recovery for physical drives but also virtual machines even cloud environments it's a single vendor that does it all they can create a solution for your workloads your risk tolerance your business objectives.

Year well that intuition is certainly really part of my revolutionary idea of just being stubborn Peterson and special guest downloaded. From the Westwood One network. Guy. You know what you got to say call me I'd like to hear from you Carolyne in Simi Valley California hello Caroline . Well I hear myself highly on. Your radio on radio and. You know I want to echo Are you talk I'll listen Ok. My. He was a game and he's 12 years old and I don't buy a big budget. I would tell him Well it's up to you but what I would say is you don't need a gaming computer you need a gaming console and get him a Playstation 4 an x. Box probably a Playstation 4 when he really wants to play full. Well x. Box place for tonight beautifully. And the reason is 1st of all you get x. Box about 250 bucks you hook it up to your t.v. Actually this is a good time to buy they're having a big sale. Up to $100.00 off. And that ends June 17th started out last Friday so this would be a good time to in fact you want to make them really happy this will take the sting out of not getting a p.c. Away from them they have an x. Box one x. Fortnight edition. It's that it's purple it has a special purple controller it makes it it's perfect for anybody who wants to it was a fortnight fan and it's $100.00 off so that's where I would start mostly because. First of all it's just a gaming machine now you may say well I want to have a computer for schoolwork and stuff like that you might but the problem is if there's a game on that computer he's never going to. Play the game that is if you put it on x. Box it's going to be on a t.v. In the living room you'll know when he's playing. And you can control it a little bit better. Also it's cheaper and there are fewer issues with configuration viruses any and all problems of P.C.'s or air to. An x. Box not you know you don't even have to go out to a game store anymore you download the disks you download the games and you plan and fortnights free so all you have to worry about is him spending thousands of dollars on special outfits. Which you know all about already. So I think it consuls a good recommendation now you may say but he you know he's in 6th grade he needs a computer you should look we're going to go to middle school next year yeah so he'll be maybe in 2000 right so you should check with the school to see because many schools now have what they call a one to one programs where he'll be provided with their own book or an i Pad or something like that for school you know I don't think they do Ok but my roommate he's got a lot. Which he's had for about 3 or 4 years and he says I just can't play fortnight on it has to slow yes at any and it might. Need He will lead Yeah when it's time for school get him a Chromebook which is also just a few $100.00 it doesn't play a fortnight. But it's perfect for school work gets him on line has a you know he can use Google Docs for creating all the schoolwork he needs to most schools now are using Christmas. Yeah Ok Mike so you're going to save money if you went out to get a decent gaming p.c. You'd be spending close to a $1000.00. Right so this way you've got a console and a Chromebook for less than that and each has its own dedicated purpose. I'm trying to make sense yes. And I play I play for tonight so Ok so there's other things now if he's playing your phone that's good because it means he's not tied to a mouse and a keyboard he's happy to play for tonight with whatever mom lets him. Console you don't get a keyboard or mouse you have to use a controller I think you can play for that very well with a gaming controller lots of people do even some of his heroes like a ninja play on the x. Boxes so I think you'll be all right he's what is he watching twitch and game streams and he sees all these people playing gaming p.c. As a yeah yeah he watches it generally do I think yeah you know if it's any consolation Caroline you're going through what every single mother of a 6th grader the entire United States is going to yeah it's bizarre how this game has swamp the consciousness of 12 year olds everywhere. Yeah here's the only thing I would say it's a great tool for parental coersion. Think of it as a p.c. d a Parental coersion device you can play an hour a fortnight if you do the dishes and empty the trash you can play an hour fortnight if you do 2 hours of homework you could play an hour an
