In this special episode, we were fortunate to welcome an industry veteran and thought leader, Mr. Bryce Button. During our chat, we hear Bryce’s story - from his early beginnings on set, to years working in post, and on through his position today as Director of Product Marketing at AJA Video Systems. Bryce sheds light on all the changes the industry has seen over the years — changing formats, evolving workflows, and where things might be heading. It’s a fun and fascinating talk with one of our favorite industry friends.
