Modern lighting for video really got going in 1938 with the appearance of color television. One fact that many people don’t consider is that stage and movie lighting are a bit different. Proper lighting is not nearly as simple as
The better Digital Asset Management products keep all sorts of things in check. They organize everything into a single interface and keep track of clips, project files, scripts (as in copy!) and some even monitor available storage. Comprised of both
I recently had the honor of visiting Canon’s newest (12,000 square ft.) facility, “Canon Burbank” – The Professional Technology & Support Center located at 3400 West Olive Ave., Burbank, California and conveniently located near The Burbank Studios and Warner Brothers. Canon Burbank has all
Well, they’ve done it. While you were sleeping and unbeknownst to most (but knownst to me), they’ve finally broken the “resolution barrier” – aka “The Rayleigh Limit.” That’s GREAT, you say. But what is the “resolution barrier?” Read on, my
Before going into the actual importance of properly identifying your digital assets or “meta-tagging” them with “metadata,” we should all be familiar with what it is. The term “metadata” defines the description of content, which can include the title, author,
Since the creation of the cinematic medium, a multitude of attempts have been made to make the spectacle even grander; some of these attempts were successful, such as adding sound and color; and many of the attempts were not (like
You know you’ve seen’em – the super-large semis with full production studios inside them… And although they come in standard van sizes (that your local affiliates have), I’m talking about the ones you could practically live in – with all
Let’s face it – insufficient storage causes major performance issues and failures. We’ve all been there. And we’ll all be there again there is no doubt. As the assets continue to be created, so is the eternal question: “Now that
Times they-are-a-changin; while file-based workflow has been around for a while, the traditional tape-based workflow is fading in popularity, as much of the recordkeeping and content management shifts to a more digitally-inclined IT-centric infrastructure. Some cloud archival sites may store
Rendering Sucks….But It Doesn’t Have To…. When you hear the word “farm,” you either think of “Old MacDonald” or a bunch of cows or fields of wheat, etc. “Render farms” evoke the same type of vision — albeit one of
Closed Captioning (or “CC” as it’s widely known) is a useful idea that took a surprisingly long time to come about. The passage of two acts in the early 90’s marked the legal ‘birth’ of required CC: the first of
Not too many left who could vouch for 1945 being an eventful year – it saw the end of the most massive global conflict the world has ever known; the longest-running U.S. President ever Franklin Delano Roosevelt (our 32nd president)
Modern cinematography is the descendant of theater. This visual and audible medium has moved beyond celluloid into a purely digital realm – even though many people still refer to movies as films. When most people think of movies and the
Coverage for an Olympic event is always tricky. Recording at just the perfect angle and clarity is critical in pulling-off an enjoyable and spine-tingling scene. I wanted to focus on two very different companies and their parts in the 2016
…And away we go! We are officially thirty-three-thousand feet up in the air, on our way to Singapore for BroadcastAsia 2016! As usual, my level of excitement won’t let me settle-down, so I’ve started blogging while on the plane! (This is
So I’ll get to Singapore, literally, the day before I left (16 hour time difference, you know), a few days before the 2016 Broadcast Asia Show. The Garden City has a lot to offer the intrepid traveler and I wanted
