About Me:: “With hard work and sacrifice, comes opportunity”.   Rob has been in show business since the age of thirteen. He begun his journey into the entertainment business as a performer appearing in such pieces as The Mickey Mouse Club, Seaquest DSV, and Fortune Hunter. After making his way to Hollywood at the age of twenty, Rob decided to learn as much as he could about the television and film business. “I was always taught early on that in order to be truly passionate about something, you need to understand it from all angles. If you are ever lucky enough to lead a group of people, you need to know how to do their job so that you may help push them further than they ever thought possible.”

In order to learn more about the entertainment business, the next step was to jump behind the camera. At the age of twenty, Rob started doing development work for both Tony Award winning producer Craig Anderson (On Golden Pond, The Ballad of Lucy Whipple) and The Bubble Factory (McHale’s Navy, For Richer or Poorer). From there he also worked in development with such companies as World of Wonder, Harpo Productions, and The Machine.

The next step that Rob would take with his career would bring him to where he is today. “From working in development, I truly learned about story structure. I wanted to help contribute more to the story telling process. I chose editing”

Rob began his editing career by cutting together demo reels for actors, directors, and hosts. On numerous occasions, he was interviewed by Backstage West about the subject. He was even tapped as an expert for author Bonnie Gillespie’s “Self Management for Actors.”

“This was right at the beginning of the digital revolution. It was an excellent time to be an editor, and I wanted to
grow.” Rob and his company Rising Ashes Productions would go on to do work for companies such as The WB, CBS, E! and Bravo. “Since I was able to establish my position in post production early, I was able to form client relationships that have lasted over a decade.”

Rob moved on to working in the visual f/x world on such productions as “The Hulk” and “Peter Pan.” He was a visual f/x editor for the Emmy winning Captive Audience Productions and the current Post Production Supervisor for the Academy Award Winning Drac Studios.

Rob currently instructs beginning editor’s at Video Symphony in Burbank, CA. Video Symphony is the premiere post production training facility specializing in Avid, Final Cut Pro, and Digidesign Protools.

By the way, Rob is awesome....and handsome.

Theories on all the rumors....

With february come and gone as far as Avid's "announcments", the rumor mill has been going into overtime. Here is what I've heard: 1. Avid is buying Final Cut Pro 2. Avid is buying AJA 3. Avid is making a Mojo HD 4. Apple is buying Avid (old) 5. Adobe is buying them all (laughable) Anyone got any predictions about how this will "actually" play out? I normally pay no mind to the rumor mill but it's fun to speculate.

The writer's strike and you...the student

Well the madness is pretty much come to an end. And we are back to business as usual (albeit a little tighter than normal). I've had many of my students ask me how it would affect them as far as job opportunities and I always gave the same answer. It doesn't. Our interview numbers went way up. At my school, I help prepare our students for the real job world that you and I have grown accustomed to working in. In post, I have been working for the past ten years. In entertainment, the past fiftee…

Thank for letting me know about this site. I'm excited about joining and putting up some documentary and music videos I'm working on.
Hope you're well, and having a great time being engaged in all sort of things. T.

At 9:36pm on March 7th, 2008, Scott Gentry said…: So Robert, how do we get this group to start posting? Here's what the original idea behind PVC and the community.

For the Main PVC site, the idea was to find 10-20 of the best writers out there to cover all aspects of the video market.

For the community section here, the goal was to have the community cover the same but from case studies, user studios, personal reviews, etc. Of course feedback, thoughtful discussion, etc.

Any suggestions?

Tons of NAB videos

Hi guys, you know I love ProVideoCoalition.com..but you also know that I'm the administrator of Finalcutmtl.org the Final Cut User Group of Montreal. Over here, in cold and white Canada we don't have much to do but edit video and prepare events and invite product designers to talk about their products. That is why we have a great video podcast feed with tons of interviews, product reviews and demos. We just finished the editing on our post-NAB conference. 3 hours of podcasts are available for th…

Motu updates the V3HD to V4HD

Motu who was long known for its audio interfaces has jump in the video bandwagon a little more than a year ago with the V3HD, a firewire attached input/output video capture card for Final Cut and Premiere. The V3HD was limited to DVCPRO HD but the new V4HD now works with the Apple ProRes codec and DVCPRO HD. This makes it a great alternative to the AJA Io HD. All connectors are available on the V4HD: composite, component, sdi, HD-SDI, HDMI, AES, Wordclock, genlock, timecode and optical, digital…

PVC-it Debuts on PVC

It's highly likely that you've heard of Digg. In fact, we have a Digg button on most articles, and have been "dugg" numerous times in our illustrious first 42 days of being online. The code monkeys here at PVC (namely me), have been working feverishly to bring a Digg-like clone to the professional video market. Let's face it, as valuable as Digg is, it's really for the general consumer m…
