How It Was Done


Thanksto the latest innovations in media creation tools, like Apple’s
iLife06, Studio ArtFX founder Terrence Walker saw that he could create
astudio quality podcast series on a regular basis. With integrated
toolslike iMovie HD and Garage Band, Terrence could realize his dream
oflarge scale production at a miniscule price.


“I’vewanted to do a podcast series like this for a long time, but
it seemedlike with the tools I had there were too many hurdles,” notes
TerrenceWalker. “One day a friend of mine showed me iWeb and how easy
it was tocreate a podcast and publish it on iTunes and my own webpage.
That veryhour I went to the Mac Store and bought a Mac Mini and
startedcreating.”


Thanksto the power and ease of use of Garage Band and iMovie HD,
Terrencefound himself able to leave behind years of audiovisual hardware
andsoftware and yards of tangled cables to get right into production.
Nownothing stands in the way of creativity.


“I’vebeen waiting for this day,” Terrence explains. “I have
thousands inaudio and video gear in a box collecting dust now because I
can doeverything on my Mac.”
