Masters Adds vid for iPhone 3G and Pushes for Mac Integration at Kunaki - Published on 07/10/08

In Lieu of Tomorrow's release of the Apple iPhone 3G, TimeCode Mechanics has dropped their original 3G version of the DIY micro-budget action film "Wages of Sin" from their website. They are now selling what they're calling an "iHub" version. Masters is also embracing the DIY community with two new how-to books and pushing for Mac integration at new wave DVD duplication service Kunaki.

Chicago, IL. - Today TimeCode Mechanics will drop their original 3G version of "Wages of Sin" from their website opting to go with what they're calling an "iHub" version. "This version will play on iPods, iPhones and the new iPhone 3G." Says the Mac filmmaker. "Phones that play content, now have much more memory and can store and play the higher quality Quicktime mp4 versions of the film anyway."

Masters has also unveiled two new how-to books for DIY and low budget filmmakers: "Action Filmming" and "The Action Filmmaking Workbook". Together he calls them "The $23 Filmschool". Aiming the books at the no-budget filmmaking crowd and understanding the mentality Masters is keeping everything low priced. "They can get 'Action Filmmaking' for $9.95, (making it the lowest priced book on the subject) and 'The Action Filmmaking Workbook' for $12.95, respectively. But they can also download the film for only $1.99." Masters will also be releasing "Marketing Micro-Budget Movies" later this fall.

TimeCode Mechanics have also reduced the prices of their DVDs to fall in line with the overall process. The $12.95 hybrid DVD is now only $9.95 while the $19.95 two disc set sells now for $14.95 from the site. "Most people are NOT downloading. They buy DVDs still or do both. They like to have a solid object in hand, which I understand as I also own many DVDs myself."

Masters has also been pushing for Apple integration at state of the art DVD duplication service Kunaki. While the service offers the best pricing structure in the business for a shelf ready DVD and admit Apple integration is one of their biggest request, the stance of their website is, "Our software requires a PC, but you can use your favorite Mac or PC software to design disc, case, insert graphic files."

"Apple's Firewire is the very thing that allows people to do digital filmmaking as it's current incarnation. Apple filmmakers are a loyal base yet companies keep relying on the excuse that Apple is "unfriendly". This doesn't seem to ring true in 2008 considering the Mac share and freeware out there and companies like Mariner Software that makes Storymill, the screenwriting software "Montage 1.5" and other programs mainly for Mac." Says Masters. "It's a slap in the face to Mac filmmakers and users who're doing video."
