Doha Tribeca Film Festival - Home ]]> Digital Video Industry News Laffan Nasser http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/468021-2009-doha-tribeca-film-festival.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/468008-california-limits-tv-power-consumption.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:45:29 GMT The California Energy Commission approved TV power regulation today. Even though there were hundreds of pages of comments, not one word was modified.

Not only does the regulation limit power consumption, it has other language that forces TVs to go into "standby passive" mode when the user hits the power button on the TV or the remote. This means that if your TV has a hard drive DVR, it has to stop recording your show when the TV goes off.

The scope of the rules is not clear. It could potentially affect monitors used for broadcasting, post production, and conformance.

There's still time to register, attendance is free, and you don't have to leave your house or office. I did this last year and thought it was great; definitely well worth the time.

Come for the films, stay for the conversation.

FILMMAKER WORKSHOP
Saturday, November 14, 11 am - 1 pm The B.Side Lounge
$20 (Limited Space)
The only community conversation of its kind--the Filmmaker Workshop is open to
anyone excited to learn techniques from some of Colorado's remarkable talent pool of adventure
and outdoor shooters, directors and producers.

This year’s panel includes: Brook Aitken, director of photography for eco-thriller The Cove, winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, producer Vance Howard, who is using the latest video and hybrid dSLR technologies in Grand Canyon by Nature: River of Life, an ultra-high resolution fulldome production, and filmmaker Kunga Lama, outreach coordinator at eh Center for Asian Studies, who is producing a video about environmental issues in Tibet.

Each panelist will give a short multi-media presentation
about recent projects, followed by a Q&A on the latest equipment, shooting tech-
niques, production development and marketing. The workshop is moderated
by Meryem Ersoz, from Boulder’s own Red Pine Studios. We will conclude this
session with a gear giveaway. ]]> Digital Video Industry News Meryem Ersoz http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/467282-filmmaking-workshop-nov-14-saturday.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/467226-avid-fcp-2-step-lafcpug-nov-18-a.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:04:00 GMT The next meeting of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (lafcpug) meeting will be Wednesday, November 18, 2009 beginning at 6:45PM - till we drop at Gallery Theatre in Hollywood Ca.

(Note date change from usual 4th Wednesday of the month)

"The Avid/FCP 2-Step"

The perception, (especially among FCP users) is that Final Cut Pro is slowly but surely taking over the post industry. While that maybe true in the "Indy" world, the reality is the Avid Media Composer is still firmly entrenched in Hollywood feature films and broadcast television. In order for you to compete in Hollywood it's important to know BOTH tools.

So lafcpug will devote the entire evening to the Avid/FCP 2-step.

What are the big differences between the Avid MC and FCP?
Is it hard to learn the Avid if I know just FCP?
Do I really need to learn the Avid?
And other FAQs

Join us as legendary film and sound editor Walter Murch returns to lafcpug to discuss "what is it like going from the Avid to FCP and back to the Avid."

Also editor Steve Cohen will show us what is new in the Avid Media Composer 4.0.

Shane Ross will show off the new Mix & Match capability in MC4.0 which allows you to combine different formats, frame rates, and resolutions all in the same timeline.

Plus Stump The Gurus and World famous Raffle

This meeting will require registration in order to attend.

Still it's a step and I'm sure Micro 4/3rds will get there eventually (....but in the meantime I've just taken delivery of a Canon 7D).
