Ah, Steve McQueen, video artist and Turner Prize winner 
(http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/history/mcqueen.htm 
), his first feature. By all accounts extraordinary. I don't know  
about France or the US, but like McQueen I remember Bobby Sands'  
hunger strike. On the news every day, what I remember is the debate  
about whether there should be intervention or not 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sands 
).

I also think a future direction of narrative cinema will be this more  
poetic cinema. The cinema of attractions (the blockbuster hang on to  
your seat SFX thrill fest) is a fin-de-siecle sort of thing as popular  
cinema increasingly gets like opera (big, grand, expensive, indulgent  
and while significant, perhaps not terribly relevant in the scheme of  
things). When anyone can do FX on their own computer (witness the rise  
of fan feature films, for example remakes of Star Wars (http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/film-fans-put-themselves-in-the-picture/2008/02/19/1203190819018.html
 
  />) then what compels and justifies cinema going is not the  
spectacle but its elegance (artistry, poetry, style).

well, at least I can hope...

[videoblogging] Canon HV20 footage output settings on iMovie....

2008-11-26 Thread Mark Day
I'm seeing interlaced footage when I output from iMovie regardless of
whether or not I click 'deinterlace source footage'  in the output settings,
when I set the output settings to 1280 x 720.

Don't see the problem when I output at 640x360

Have been using these settings
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/mp4-h264.jpg

Anyone experienced anything similar?  Ping me offline?

Nope, the last waves of an old, shitty one.

The waste fraud and abuse that took place in this country over the  
last 20 years is astonishing.

Those money men Obama hired were part of the problem though, so who

Good news!
I remember how much of a burden was lifted off of my back when he and  
the first family were taking the stage in Grant Park.

I was never very fond of him either, but I'll tell you, for me, the  
world changed that moment.

Great news on the internet front, but not so much on the financial  
front.

His 'money men' are very disappointing to me.

I'd be lost without my little level on the tripod. I'd never thought about
that is a 360 degree level.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: tripod advice

2008-11-26 Thread Richard Amirault
- Original Message - 
From: "miglsd27"
   Thank you all for your replys. What I was looking for was something like 
what I have in
our Vinten tripod, a ball based head, that levels the head only. Adjusting 
the tripod legs
always leaves me sideways when I pan, I hate that. But I see there aren´t 
many options,
altough Manfrotto does seem the best option. For me, an horizon that is not 
horizontal on
the frame (does this make sense?) is more disturbing than a squeeky or bouny 
pan or tilt
movement. But maybe thats just me ;).
===

It won't be "sideways when you pan" if the tripod is level (that was the 
point of adjusting one of the legs)

A suggestion: see if you can find a circular level. Some tripods have this 
built in, but you can buy a general purpose one that is somewhat bigger than 
a built-in one .. but will work for setting up the tripod.  It's a round 
device with  two or three concentric rings and, of course, a small bubble of 
air inside. It helps to level in two dimensions ... more like 360 degrees. 
Unlike a conventional "ruler" level that is designed to level only in one 
dimension.
