We were just wrapping up our Reflecmedia chroma key demonstration video when I ran across a pretty funny blooper...then another...then another pretty soon I thought it would be funny to string them together into a sequence. So just to tease our production assistant we uploaded it to youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4zU2LU_g5s
Check it out, by the way that's a Serious Magic background at the end. The segment was shot with a Sony FX1.

McCartney tells Billboard in an exclusive interview to be published tomorrow (May 11) that a deal to finally make the Beatles catalog available for sale online is "virtually settled."

So far, there's been little competition for competing set-top boxes. Only about 260,000 cable cards have been deployed, according to the NCTA. And they don't always work very well.

The second phase begins July 1, when cable providers are banned from providing new boxes that integrate both the security and navigation functions. Existing subscribers can continue to rent their current boxes.

The new boxes will have to use the same cable card technology as the competition. The FCC is hoping that forcing cable companies to do that will motivate them to make sure the cards work like they're supposed to.

Has anyone started a film festival?

How did you do it? What problems did you incur?
Any type of help or guidelines would be appreciated.

What I have…
A desire to succeed, good volunteers and a theater.

What I need…
Direction from those who were, where I am now, at the beginning.

Thanks,
Bill

I don't know if this'll help anyone, or everyone here already knows about it, or if it's just a bunch of BS, but it's health insurance targeted at freelancers--

www.freelancersunion.org

I'm not affiliated with 'em or anything, and the plan I have now is about the same price.

Battlestar Gallactica (The new series) has just reached Europe this year and I found it so good I bought season 1 and 2, in season 2 there was an episode which really made me laugh. There was a reporter team who were allowed to follow everybody on the Gallactica ship. They had 2 camera's with them, 2 panasonic dvx100's :D
I couldn't believe what I saw, in the first episodes from season one the reporter teams had these ridiculous small cameras, considering that the series are in the future you could somewhat find it believable, but a dvx100?? That's insulting our intelligence. :)
On the other hand, if it's true, I will keep on to my dvx100 as it for sure will outlive me by hundreds of years so I can pass it one to my grandchildren.
I was surprised not to see "powered by Panasonic" on the side of Battlestar Gallcatica. :)
