EventDV archives from April 2009
Marking time.(the nonlinear editor)
April 1, 2009... Colm Toibin's forthcoming book, Brooklyn, set in Brooklyn and southeastern Ireland in the early 1950s, is the best kind of period novel: It's not retro in a romanticized, nostalgic, ironic, or kitschy way, but it is a throwback of sorts, in...
Correction.(the nonlinear editor)(Correction notice)
April 1, 2009... David Perry (www.davidperryfilms.com) is an international award-winning, Utah-based filmmaker who was interviewed for the March feature "Deconstructing the Demo." In that article, we erroneously listed his URL as "www.davidperrystudio.com."...

DVDxDV Veescope.(in the field)
April 1, 2009... In August 2007 I reviewed an excellent product called Veescope Live in a roundup of software-based field monitors for the Mac. Veescope Live has come a long way since then through some great updates, and the company has also added some other...
Photos of the dead, or video for the living?(cradle to grave)(Obituary)
April 1, 2009... Several years ago I saw a fascinating program on PBS called Death in America. It was a historical look at death customs in America. What I found most fascinating about this program was a section dealing with post mortem photography--the...
Microboards MX-2 Disc Publisher.(in the studio)
April 1, 2009... I first saw Microboards Technology's MX-2 running at NAB 2008. Three of its features really stuck in my mind: The first feature was the homegrown Microboards software, which replaced the badly aging Prassi control programs found on previous...
Graphic thoughts: faking depth of field: a short depth of field (the portion of a foreground image that appears clear while objects in the distance are nicely blurred) is easy to achieve with a nice camera.(tutorial)
April 1, 2009... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
But you may have a photo in which everything looks equally clear, with little distinction between the clarity of the foreground and the background, and you'd like to add that blurred look to it. In this tutorial,...

The myth of the QT reference movie.(the moving picture)
April 1, 2009... Imagine you and I are sitting in an airport bar, watching the Celtics beat up on the San Antonio Spurs in the crucial fifth game of the NBA Finals. Though I'm intensely focused on the battle between Duncan and Garnett--which will ultimately...
