Mobile Entertainment really arrives......

Action speaks louder than lies: Obozo the "won't deal with lobbyists" clown proves a corrupt, lying,  sellout- AGAIN.

"The records show the government clearly had a voice in the closed-door negotiations, though it was not a signatory to the historic accord, which isn’t an actual government policy."

This is sichening. Obama is officially the internet's biggest threat and the biggest threat to freedom of ideas and artistic expression online.   He is a threat to all good ideas as…

This allows people to add comments to videos for social remarks or creative input on edits that display as the video plays.  Seems like a super interesting tool.  Now Youtube and Vimeo are supported.  Good work Scene Chat team!

Watching the NBC Betty White special makes you realize how lucky some people are to have long and interesting careers in the entertainment business.  Seeing Mary Tyler Moore and Carroll Burnett congratulate her made me realize that Betty (who was born in 1922)  certainly watched the industry grow through some of the most interesting times in history.  She was a looker when she was young and is a charmer as she gets older.  Hats off, we should all be so lucky.

Let me know if you find anything similar that saves time in Photoshop... 

I was in Mississippi doing some research on a documentary when I heard History was crewing up for a show that was gonna be shot there.  I figured it was worth looking into and boy was I right!  3 months later we wrapped on one of the most interesting projects I've been a part of.  They took a brutal centuries old sport that was seemingly dead and brought it into today's world thru media by giving it a modern look and channel but kept the brutal part.  Nat Geo had tried something similar with…

More evidence that apple is leaving the pro market.  This makes it look increasingly like there will not be another Mac Pro.  Personally, i think the price of 12-Cores might rise.  Have they seen how many Red cams have been sold? Theres 3 mac pros to go with each camera sold, im sure.....12 cores is barely enough for transcoding....  What the F^#%$@%$#$ is Apple thinking?…

These people are terrifyingly ignorant.  This is sad.

    When it comes to racial politics I tend to air on the side of the restaurant owner in Jim Henson's "Muppets Take Manhattan" and say "people... is people."  You can only really meet people one at a time so I assess them accordingly.  Rarely do I waste a moment absorbing ignorant paranoia.  However, when it comes to production I get super curious.  The AAM drama is one of those situations that brings about the questions of "reality" television.

    Seems the gist is that some…

I was sitting with some friends of mine discussing a future project and we came across this link..

This is why I stayed with Studio. The lower price seemed too good to be true.

I dunno. In some ways, sorta seems like a downgrade to me.

what happens if you shoot 3d and project 3d on the holographics instead of 2d? now add circular dolly moves and axial shifts and we might just have something worth looking at. Now, back to that pesky problem of story....
