Zach here. Just got back from San Antonio, TX, where we interviewed Tim Jenison, the creator of the Video Toaster, and the current NewTek CEO, Jim Plant.
I told myself I was done doing interviews, but I couldn't turn this one down. Simply stated:
Tim Jenison is a Video God. And he played a huge role in creating the field of desktop video production.
And it all started on the Amiga.
Most of you all know about this, but in case you don't:

So yeah, both guys gave great interviews, we got coverage of their facilities and we also got access to some great archival imagery related to the Amiga and Video Toaster. I even got to drink a little whiskey and talk video and technology with Tim. He is just one hell of a fascinating guy.
This is a big deal. Really.
More to come. Thanks again for your support. The editing is still moving along well and the 3D modelers and musicians are hard at work too.
Zach
