Welcome to Phoric Films. We create compelling motion images, and write about the craft and pursuit of audiovisual storytelling.
Just finished a 3-day narrative shoot in Vancouver and decided to install the new OS X Lion, released on Wednesday. Since most filmmakers are using Macs, I thought I would briefly report on my first impressions, along with the current state of compatibility with some of the more common software tools.

As with any OS update, there is bound to be some initial problems with software and driver incompatibility, at least until all vendors have released patches to their products. And as you’ve probably heard, Apple has done away with support for Rosetta – so any applications or plugins that requires PowerPC emulation will no longer run.
