Rick Young's Blog
Rick Young has worked in television and video production since the late 1980’s and is a committed Mac fanatic, using Apple technology for all his professional post-production work. Rick's introduction to Apple was with a Lisa before the Mac even existed, and since then has worked on Macs exclusively. He considers himself lucky to be able to get paid for what he loves to do - shoot and edit.

Why I Love My Redheads
In the mid to late ‘80's I was at film school. We shot with Arriflex BLs and Eclair ACL's and NPR's. Sennheiser 416 gun mics and Red Heads and Blondes for lighting.

The Sound of the Cinema
Audio is the forgotten player in the video world today.
