The show is shot using HVX200 cameras with the whole show shown through the perspective of a webcam. It delves into the lives of the people behind the cameras, the story almost puts you into the situation.

If you've seen this show, what do you think about it?

Hi,

I'm not sure where this topic should go, but I need to subtitle a 45min narrative project I just finished and I'd like to know some basic/standard subtitling rules.
Which font? (where to download for free?)
Which size?

so far I have this:
• three seconds are needed to read a line,
• a single subtitle showing should not exceed two lines, and
• a line of subtitles should not exceed 37 characters.

The Metropolitan Opera House here in NY is going to start broadcasting their performances live in High Definition and surround sound to movie theaters around the country.

They hope to make the show accessible to a wider audience. And make money selling tickets of course.

The Nokia N93 cameraphone is so good, Rob Dickinson (former lead singer of Catherine Wheel) used it to shoot the entirety of the music video to his song Oceans. The N93 can take VGA video at 30FPS, which is quality enough for broadcast, and decent enough for a so-so music video.

The video quality is good, but the video itself is good which goes again towards the notion that good gear can never make up for bad talent. But talent can make the cheapest gear look good.

Here's the Youtube link...
