When writing about a phenomenon like Re:Frame, the lines...
Vampire, blender, or clocker?(strictly business)
September 1, 2008... As I often tell people, the biggest advantage to working from home is the convenience. Alas, the biggest disadvantage is also the convenience! You can go to work at any hour of any day, and "stay" as long or short a time as you wish. You may...
High-end audio for video comes at a price.(gear & now)
September 1, 2008... With apologies for mixing my metaphors, some of the sweetest sounds in wedding and event videography can leave a bad taste in your mouth. But it isn't so much the sounds that stick in your craw (there I go again)--it's the prices you sometimes...

September 1, 2008... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
I have owned a lot of video cameras over the years, including a Sony DSR-PD150, a DSR-PD170, an HVR-Z7U, and a Canon XH A1. What they all have in common is that they are camcorder-style video cameras. I recently had...

Worlds apart?(the reel deal)
September 1, 2008... I am in Tokyo as I write this column. I adjusted quite easily to the 14-hour time difference, and the 12-hour flight wasn't so bad. To prepare for my trip, I did internet research, read books, and watched movies. Even so, I feel like a fish out...
Graphic thoughts: creating great backgrounds in a snap.(tutorial)
September 1, 2008... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
Recently, I had the chance to go with my in-laws to City Museum in St. Louis. What an amazing place to get lost in by crawling through inventively designed tunnels that go underground to many stories below the city...
State of the reunion.(cradle to grave)
September 1, 2008... i was recently asked to shoot a 50-year class reunion at a local high school. There are 150,000 high school reunions each year, with an annual total attendance of 27 million, or 180 per reunion. That's a lot of potential business for event...

Street legal: legal considerations for videographers, Part 1.
September 1, 2008... For years, some videographers feared they would become fugitives from the law if they used popular music in their productions, hired a freelancer rather than an employee, or filmed wedding guests without their consent. Legal worries serve only...
Creating a mood that lingers.(vantage point)
September 1, 2008... Do you know the feeling you have after an especially vivid dream--the kind of dream you want to hold on to and relive again and again? It's more than a waking memory of love or adventure; it's a sensation. It's an emotional reaction that has...

September 1, 2008... The second iteration of Adobe's integrated video production suite, Adobe Production Premium and Master Collection Creative Suite 3 (CS3), shipped in July 2007. Thirteen months later, I'm starting to muse about CS4, which is as yet unannounced....
