Re: [Avid-L2] Dede Allen interview on Fresh Air tomorrow

Thanks Jim. Enjoyed it.

I noticed Dede mentioned the Avid once, but kinda dodged the question
of "digital technologies", focusing more on the old school film/tape
techniques. I would have liked to hear this answer.

Clearly she broke new ground in a male dominated industry and was
prolific for 4 decades. That takes balls, talent and people skills.

Listen up you young pups! There's still something to be said for the
experience of physically splicing your media, or honing your chops on
years of medical/industrial films.

Gonna go see if I can rent "The Hustler".
