    ReFocus: The Films of John Hughes 66769_Shary769_Shary & SSmith.inddmith.indd i 110/03/210/03/21 111:501:50 AAMM ReFocus: The American Directors Series Series Editors: Robert Singer, Frances Smith, and Gary D. Rhodes Editorial Board: Kelly Basilio, Donna Campbell, Claire Perkins, Christopher Sharrett, and Yannis Tzioumakis ReFocus is a series of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations of neglected American directors, from the once-famous to the ignored, in direct relationship to American culture—its myths, values, and historical precepts. The series ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or out of the studio system—beginning from the origins of American cinema and up to the present. These directors produced film titles that appear in university film history and genre courses across international boundaries, and their work is often seen on television or available to download or purchase, but each suffers from a form of “canon envy”; directors such as these, among other important figures in the general history of American cinema, are underrepresent ed in the critical dialogue, yet each has created American narratives, works of film art, that warrant attention. ReFocus brings these American film directors to a new audience of scholars and general readers of both American and Film Studies. Titles in the series include: ReFocus: The Films of Preston Sturges Edited by Jeff Jaeckle and Sarah Kozloff ReFocus: The Films of Delmer Daves Edited by Matthew Carter and Andrew Nelson ReFocus: The Films of Amy Heckerling Edited by Frances Smith and Timothy Shary ReFocus: The Films of Budd Boetticher Edited by Gary D.

By KEN McGORRY Honestly, who doesn’t need more stor- age these days? “That’s the whole meaning of life, isn’t it?” George Carlin has said, “Trying to find a place for your stuff!” Fact is, especially with the explosion in low-cost digital acquisition, the innumerable layers and elements that compositing and VFX afford (or require) and the almost endless varia- tions and versions that today’s NLEs allow, everybody’s got more stuff, and everybody needs to find the best place to put their stuff. What’s more, you need to be able to find your stuff, immediately, when the occasion arises that you need more stuff to go with the stuff you already have. It’s amazing how much more stuff there is to store today — even for stop- motion animators. In this report, Post spoke with animators, indie producers, VFX specialists, music video producers, Webisode directors, commercial col- orists, even feature film audio post pros. And they all have innovative ways to store their stuff.
