<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/avidnewlogo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-216" title="avidnewlogo" src="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/avidnewlogo.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>In case anybody was still wondering if Avid&#8217;s recent rebranding was a good idea, I recently attended two industry events that helped prove that the company that brought us Media Composer twenty years ago is not going anywhere anytime soon.  With a renewed sense of forward thinking and a commitment to actually listening to the users of their product, Avid&#8217;s recent releases of their 3.0 and 4.0 versions of Media Composer, along with a spiffy new series of hardware, helped prove to customers that there are still some advantages to throwing down a little extra cash to buy the editing toolset used by the majority of big-budget Hollywood productions.<!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tcm.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-214 alignright" title="tcm" src="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tcm.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="190" /></a>The first event I attended (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&#38;gid=112714783756" target="_blank">GenCre8</a> at <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/last-night/review-the-crystal-method-perf/index.php?page=1" target="_blank">The Echoplex on November 7</a>) took me completely by surprise, as I was unaware it was an Avid-sponsored event until I arrived.  Billed as a &#8220;secret performance by The Crystal Method&#8221; (the celebrated hard-edged electronic music duo whose music you&#8217;d probably recognize from various TV shows and car commercials), the event attracted a niche crowd of music enthusiasts from the Los Angeles area.  Arriving at the event not fully sure how or why it was free (or even if I would make it inside), I was pleasantly surprised to see Avid banners draped everywhere upon entering and instantly recalled how Avid rebranded all of their subsidiary companies under the single name &#8220;Avid&#8221; last year to minimize confusion and unify their many divisions.</p>
<p>In addition to being a full-fledged electronic music performance, the event featured a 20-minute demonstration by the opening act (a rap duo called &#8220;The Chosen Few,&#8221; who were actually pretty talented) to promote Pro Tools and demonstrate how easy and fast it is to create beats using their software.  While the spiel itself could have been streamlined a little bit (it seemed to drag on at times, partly because the guy working the computer was also simultaneously trying to describe how Pro Tools works), the entire event was a pretty savvy marketing maneuver.  What better way to promote a product and establish brand identity than a demonstration to a captive audience who has already proven interest and dedication to electronic music just by showing up to a &#8220;secret&#8221; show?  Not to mention the fact that attendees would have a positive association with the Avid brand regardless of the demonstration, simply due to the fact that The Crystal Method played an incredible set afterward.  Very slick, Avid.  I tip my hat to you.</p>
<p><a href="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/waltermurch.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-215 alignleft" title="WalterMurch" src="http://viewfromthecuttingroomfloor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/waltermurch.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="283" /></a>The second event I attended was billed as an Avid event from the start.  The LAFCPUG (<a href="http://www.lafcpug.org" target="_blank">Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group</a>) spent an evening (November 18) discussing the differences between Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each.  Fellow editing bloggers <a href="http://www.lfhd.net" target="_blank">Shane Ross</a> and <a href="http://splicehere.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Steve Cohen</a> each gave demonstrations on the new Media Composer 4.0&#8217;s ability to Mix-and-Match frame rates and resolutions in real-time, as well as the new AMA architecture and advancements in Trim Mode and Segment Mode.  The highlight of the night, however, was the keynote address by Walter Murch, the undisputed &#8220;godfather of editing.&#8221;  After spending the last 7 years using Final Cut Pro, Walter recently joined the film &#8220;The Wolfman&#8221; mid-stream when they were already firmly entrenched in an Avid workflow.  Given his unique perspective having gone from Avid to Final Cut and back again, Walter was able to give candid insight into the technical advantages and disadvantages of each system.  It was interesteing to note that while Walter praised some of Avid&#8217;s new features, when prodded by an audience member&#8217;s question, he responded that if given the choice, he would still cut his next feature on Final Cut.</p>
<p>Aside from being a great networking opportunity (I got to introduce myself to three of my favorite editing bloggers and shake hands with my idol), the event reinforced the notion that both platforms are moving in the right direction and that the rivalry between the two companies is good for the industry (competition = innovation and aggressively low pricing).  As technology continues to advance and workflows move increasingly toward high definition, tapeless acquisition, and web-based delivery, it will be fascinating to see how Avid and Final Cut each adapt to the continuously changing landscape of the film and television industries.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We are often asked our opinion on Non-Linear Editing (NLE) software and which is the best, the answer simply is it depends on the job at hand and your level of experience on the software. We use a number of editing packages. Avid is a solid NLE software that can handle the smallest to the largest of projects. The learning curve for Avid is step, and courses can be expensive, but Avid is still the major player in the Broadcast/ Film world. (Final Cut  Pro is becoming more prevalent, but systems in place in organisations such as the BBC and RTE will not be replaced overnight).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We recently announced our <a title="Creative Announces Vado HD Pocket Cam Film Contest" href="http://www.prwebphotowire.com/releases2/imid2422614.htm?id=2422614&#38;prid=3186264" target="_blank">Vado HD Pocket Cam Film Contest</a> to the press and the rest of the world, but for Creative folk- the contest is in full swing.

Well the stardom doesn&#8217;t end there. We&#8217;re back to introduce you to two more film experts.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<div id="attachment_224" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 283px"><a href="http://www.vadofilmcontest.com/home/expertpanel.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-224" title="Expert Judge, Yaz Takata" src="http://myvado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo_big_takata.jpg" alt="Expert Judge, Yaz Takata" width="273" height="238" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Expert Judge, Yaz Takata</p></div>
<p></strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Yas Takata</strong> has an unexpected resume. Maybe it&#8217;s because he isn&#8217;t your typical film-guy. When one thinks about film, we relate it to the story it tells and the ride it takes us on. Yas&#8217; films have managed to take viewers on rides, quite literally, in fact. Yas serves as the Director of Special Venue Film Entertainment for <a href="http://www.blur.com/">Blur Studio</a> and heads its newly formed theme park and special venue film division.</p>
<p>Yas is one of the ride film industry&#8217;s most talented and experienced creatives. He is currently directing a stereoscopic dark ride for a new theme park located in Abu Dhabi, UAE, slated to open in 2010, and last year worked on Universal&#8217;s &#8220;The Simpson&#8217;s Ride&#8221; which was voted Best Attraction by the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA). Yas also co-directed Paramount and Nickelodeon&#8217;s &#8220;SpongeBob SquarePants in 3D,&#8221; which remains a blockbuster theme park attraction for Paramount Parks. Previous to that he directed the sci-fi hit venue film based on the popular tv-series, &#8220;StarGate 3000&#8243; for MGM and was the lead creative on <em>&#8220;Stan Lee&#8217;s 7<sup>th</sup> Portal 3D Simulation Experience,&#8221;</em> yet another hit for Paramount Studios theme parks.</p>
<p>It appears Yas is driven by a desire for something more- something that tests limits and blurs boundaries. Yas spent 21 years in film, over a decade of which he acted as Director. Of these years in film, Yas has chosen to create films so bold they allow the audience to experience an aspect the world otherwise untouchable&#8211;unless of course, you are among our readers who seek extreme situations. Yas opens up the world for the rest of us, and for that we are incredibly grateful to have him on our expert panel of judges.</p>
<p>Yas grew up in San Francisco, earned a degree in communications from the University of California, Berkeley (go bears!) , and began his career with Midland Productions in nearby Richmond. While helping that company expand its business in commercial and corporate media production, he launched it into the nascent business of ride film production. He produced and directed ride films for Iwerks Entertainment, Imax, Busch Gardens, Busch Entertainment&#8217;s Sea World parks, and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Among his credits is <em>Wild Arctic</em>, an attraction featured at Sea World parks. It takes park visitors on a &#8220;jet helicopter&#8221; ride through a frozen wonderland to come face-to-face with walruses, beluga whales and polar bears.</p>
<p>And as if that isn&#8217;t enough, Yas is also a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<div id="attachment_225" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 283px"><a href="http://www.vadofilmcontest.com/home/expertpanel.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-225" title="Expert Judge, Todd Busch" src="http://myvado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo_big_todd.jpg" alt="Expert Judge, Todd Busch" width="273" height="238" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Expert Judge, Todd Busch</p></div>
<p></strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Todd Busch</strong> is the man behind some incredible industry films. The kind of films most everyone has in their home and love to watch over and over again. He got his start doing post-production for infamous Lucas Films in 1990. When the Avid took feature editing by storm in the mid-90s, Todd road the wave of technology on a list of high profile projects, including Eraser, Star Wars: Episode II &#8211; Attack of the Clones, Terminator 3 and Beowulf. He spent four years on the Editors Guild Board of Directors and has been a contributor to the guild&#8217;s magazine. Todd continues to work on the cutting edge of post-production and is currently working on Tony Scott&#8217;s action thriller Unstoppable.</p>
<p>Todd&#8217;s <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002708/" target="_blank">long list of accomplishments</a> speaks to what an impressive individual he is. Just imagine this expert-editor watching your film and giving you the thumbs-up!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re expecting a great turn-out for this contest and are thrilled to have a panel of such impressive judges.</p>
<p>Stay tuned! We&#8217;ll continue to keep you updated on our Vado Film Contest!</p>

<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Destaca la señalización del asunto actualizado, ya que la división en columnas deja muy claro al público dónde tiene que fijarse para seguir el hilo del medio donde lo dejaron la última vez.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">AVID &#124; Servicios:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">(Análisis de servicios  y documentación complementaria)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Los servicios ofrecidos por el medio llaman la atención al no ser digitales. Además de su división interna en secciones y categorías “Editar en AVID” cuenta con un buscador interno de contenidos,  un acceso directo a bookmarks para que el usuario pueda agregarlo a sus favoritos en páginas personales como Delicious o WordPress, pero esta tema lo trataremos más adelante.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Los servicios pasan por ofrecer información bibliográfica recomendando libros especializados en la edición en AVID, como otros tutoriales interactivos.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">AVID &#124; Publicidad:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">(Análisis publicitario)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">La publicidad dentro de la página es muy escasa, se basa principalmente en publicitarse a sí mismos. Ofrecen accesos directos a blogs del mismo autor sobre temas paralelos y ofrece al lector ponerse en contacto directamente con él a la hora de necesitar un montador profesional. Además la página está respaldada por cuatro sponsors de empresas audiovisuales consolidadas. Discreta pero influyente, la publicidad es la adecuada y se adapta al público buscado por el creador del medio.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">AVID &#124; Feedback:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">(Análisis participativo)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">La participación es mínima pero no será por la intención del autor a ser preguntado. Ofrece la oportunidad de ponerse personalmente en contacto con él en caso de necesitar un trabajo de edición además de permitir la publicación de comentarios en cada artículo escrito. También permite al público suscribirse a la página para recibir actualizaciones personalizadas vía email.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">La escasa participación es debida a que el objetivo del medio es captar a un público muy preciso y temático, ya que nadie que no esté interesado en la edición con AVID y cuente con el programa va a consultar este enlace.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><i>The following entertainment article was written exclusively for Spreety <a target="new" href="http://www.Spreety.com/">TV Online</a> by professional journalist Carolyn Giardina.</i></p>
<p><b>Trends to Watch: Spreety Asks Avid Technology</b></p>
<p>By Carolyn Giardina</p>
<p>Traditional TV and online TV are moving closer together, and it is not just about watching TV on a PC, observes the folks at publicly-traded Avid Technology, a leading developer video and audio production technology, as well as supporting infrastructure.
</p>
<p>&#8220;Increasingly we are seeing TV&#8217;s with direct networking capabilities built in,&#8221; Bill Roberts, Avid&#8217;s market segment director, post production, tells Spreety. &#8220;The macro level trend is that as we move away from the requirement to distribute content over the air, more content will be ‘pulled&#8217; over IP networks. For content owners who have had to rely on an indirect relationship with their audiences (relying on cable and broadcast), this can be a new and liberating way to distribute content without having to resort to a physical medium like a DVD.&#8221;
</p>
<p>Roberts relates that he is tracking industry reports that suggest TV consumption is remaining consistent in the household, but it is being augmented by increased consumption via network and mobile devices.
</p>
<p>With an increasing dependence on the Internet, the lines between gathering, structuring and distributing media are blurring. &#8220;News is a great example,&#8221; Roberts says. &#8220;Previously, broadcasters would gather, edit and distribute content once or twice a day. Today, a news story can begin with a series of viewer Tweets from an event, progress to still and moving images from ‘citizen journalists,&#8217; become a news package and ultimately require substantial ‘context&#8217; setting by anchors and professionals – all the while servicing integrated media distribution paths: the Web, TV, newspaper, radio, etc. The challenge here is that news used to be rundown centric and the other media were often subservient. With the online component in the mix, broadcasters have to be ready to distribute on any medium at any time. Avid, like our customers, is working to make the tasks of structuring and distributing content for any medium simple and deeply integrated.&#8221;
</p>
<p>The use of HD camcorders is among the consumer trends that Avid is watching. Says Roberts: &#8220;With increased consumer capture of high quality video, we see an increasing need to structure that content.  Also, as people experiment with basic tools there is a desire to improve the quality of their content. We view this as very encouraging as our goal is to provide a wide range of tools for consumers who wish to structure and share their content.&#8221;
</p>
<p>He&#8217;s also watching the level of interest in stereoscopic 3D content. &#8220;Some of our broadcast customers globally are testing stereo to the home and with an increasing number of TV&#8217;s now supporting stereo display, we think this will be an important trend to watch.&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[Så var börjar jag? I morse när jag kom till skolan fick jag inte komma in. Visst jag var där tidigt ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Så var börjar jag?</p>
<p>I morse när jag kom till skolan fick jag inte komma in. Visst jag var där tidigt och allt det där, men jag har ett kort som ska ge mig tillträde. Det funkade inte. Jag gick runt skolan och prövade alla ytterdörrar jag hittade, utan att komma in. Det ordnade sig ganska snabbt, en tjej var vänlig nog att släppa in mig så jag slapp stå ute och vänta. Väl inne upptäckte jag att jag inte fick tillträde till redigeringssalen heller. Pga att mitt kort inte funkade. Blev insläppt av en annan vänlig själ.</p>
<p>Väl på plats drog jag upp riktlinjerna för dagen. Jag bestämde mig ganska på en gång för att jag skulle vara klar med allt innan jag lämnade för dagen. Och det var jag ju nästan. Filmen är klar, bränd och komprimerad för att visas på morgondagens (eller torsdagens) redovisning respektive publiceras på nätet. Ja, den kommer hamna här på bloggen någonstans.</p>
<p>Vad har jag då kvar att göra? Förutom att jag ska skriva klart det här inlägget, som får ses som avslutning på filmprojektet ska jag framställa ett omslag till filmen.</p>
<p>Jag kommer inte behandla några detaljer i hur jag bearbetat filmaterialet, förutom det jag gjort idag, utan kommer inrikta mig mer på vad jag tycker jag gjort bra/mindre bra, vad som varit lätt/svårt i projektet och vad jag är nöjd/missnöjd med samt om det är något jag skulle vilja göra annorlunda.</p>
<p>Men till att börja med; det <a title="Martin Sjöbergs Filmprojekt - tankar och dagbok (Länk till alla inlägg kategoriserade &#34;VRA101&#34;)" href="http://martinsjoberg.wordpress.com/category/skola/vra102/" target="_self">här</a> har jag gjort fram till i dag och det <a title="Martin Sjöbergs Filmprojekt - Inför" href="http://martinsjoberg.wordpress.com/film/" target="_self">här</a> är vad jag planerade att göra.</p>
<p>Idag la jag sista bitarna i pusslet till den färdiga filmen. Dagen började med att jag la lite, och väldigt onödig, tid på att försöka höja upp ljudet i dialoger/monologer. Att det var onödigt beror på att ljudet funkar ändå, den lilla bearbetningen jag gjorde igår för att få bort störande brus är tillräcklig men man vill ju alltid vara perfekt och är petig som fan, dessutom blev det bara brusigare när jag höjde. Istället gick jag på slutscenen, jag tyckte att kameravinklarna från klipp till klipp är för lika för att man ska få uppfattningen att det är ett långt samtal som vi bara ser delar av. Varför jag utforskade möjligheten att använda en zoomningsfunktion för att få lite mer olikartade klipp. Det är en scen jag så här i efterhand känner att jag skulle ha planerat bättre, genom att skriva ett tydligt manus och kontrollera inspelningsplatsen i förväg. Men jag skulle för den sakens skull inte vilja göra om scenen, den är i stort sett så som jag hade hoppats och tänkt mig.</p>
<p>I det stora hela känner jag att de flesta scenerna är okej gjorda, visst jag har gjort några småmissar i nästan varje scen och jag tänker inte gå in på detaljer om det. Till stor del beror dessa missar på att jag, tror jag, underskattat vikten av planering. Och anledningen till det stavas förmodligen oerfarenhet. Det är svårt att hålla koll på fyra skådespelare, en kamera och ljudupptagning samtidigt. Men på samma gång känner jag att jag i ett sånt här projekt ändå alltid kommer vilja hålla i trådarna själv och göra alla de sakerna på egen hand. Mest för att verkligen känna att det jag lämnar in är mitt eget arbete. Samtidigt tror jag också att man har mer behållning av att faktiskt ha försökt göra och misslyckats än att få ett rakt igenom perfekt material. Vem annan än filmmakaren bryr sig om ett hack i ett klipp p.g.a. en tappad bildruta eller en nyansförändring i ljuset eller en tonal-, volym- eller tempoförändring i ett samtal? Alla de sakerna har jag lyckats få med i min film, några har gått hyfsat bra att dölja andra inte. Och jag kommer störa mig på varenda en när min film visas.</p>
<p>Jag är i stort sett nöjd med det jag åstadkommit, jag tycker jag har lyckats skapa en film som motsvarar det jag satte upp i min planering – även om jag tycker den största svårigheten är att få fram ett budskap i en så pass kort film. Ett sätt som jag använt för att förmedla en känsla/leverera ett budskap var att i några scener dra upp tempot onormalt mycket, i hopp om att betraktaren skulle uppfatta att min karaktär var extremt stressad. Ett annat knep, att spela upp ett och samma klipp flera gånger efter varandra, använde jag för att få betraktaren att förstå att karaktären har mycket att göra.</p>
<p>Avid är inte ett enkelt program som man sätter sig framför och kan på en kvart. Problem och svårigheter har uppstått, jag har löst mina genom att läsa mig fram i Avid Help. Förhoppningsvis har något fastnat också.</p>
<p>Jag har en scen i min film, egentligen är det två som följer på varandra, som jag bara gav en chans. Detta p.g.a. de yttre omständigheterna, jag tror helt enkelt inte det skulle vara uppskattat att köra fram och tillbaka utanför, samt parkera precis utanför huvudentrén flera gånger vid NÄL. Efter att ha sett materialet till den scenen kände jag att ”Fan, det här måste jag ta om”. Men återigen, de yttre omständigheterna ”tvingade” mig att avstå. Det är nog den stora svårigheten, att inte veta hur materialet blivit innan man satt sig i redigeringssalen. En annan scen tog jag om, eftersom jag missat en sladd som hängde i bild. Vissa saker går att reparera i efterhand – andra inte. Jag är nöjd med det jag skapat av det material jag lyckats få ihop.</p>
<p>Min film är lite speciell på ett sätt. Ljudet. Jag har inte lagt på något i efterhand – förutom de två musikstyckena – och ljudet är enbart upptaget med den interna kameramikrofonen. Det skulle jag naturligtvis vilja göra annorlunda, en extern mick för att komma så nära ljudkällan som möjligt och därmed undvika volymskillnader i ljudet när man växlar mellan helbild och närbild etc. Men som sagt, ljudet funkar och det är gott så.</p>
<p>Sedan måste jag återkomma till det med planering. Jag har reviderat många kameravinklar från ursprunget i min pitch p.g.a. att de fysiska platserna där jag filmat inte haft de fysiska förutsättningarna jag förväntat mig. Med planering och rekognosering hade en del sådana förändringar kunnat undvikas. Men på samma gång så tycker jag att jag lyckats anpassa mig efter de förutsättningarna på ett bra sätt.</p>
<p>I efterarbetet med klippen har jag försökt att vara sparsmakad med färgkorrigeringen, eftersom jag sökte en så naturlig bildåtergivning som möjligt. Jag har vid ett par tillfällen ändrat ljusstyrkan för att återspegla tiden på dygnet som scenen utspelas samt vid ett tillfälle för att färger och ljus ska överrensstämma mellan olika klipp i samma scen. Nu sitter jag med två versioner av filmen, eftersom jag inte kunnat kolla dagens förändringar i någon redovisningssal. Jag har redan bestämt vilken jag tänker redovisa och lämna in. Det blir en spännande morgondag.<span id="_marker"> </span></p>
<p>Jag är bara så glad att jag äntligen är färdig.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/27KxoXjtBVo&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/27KxoXjtBVo&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>As a resource realist, I could probably be described as an advocate of the &#8216;quick and dirty&#8217; approach to video. That&#8217;s because user-generated footage of a city-centre blaze, police clips of a scuffle with local hooligans, or a simple talking head interview shot by one of our reporters will generally deliver a good return for our effort.</p>
<p>&#62;&#62; <a href="http://www.sunderlandecho.com/daily/Halloween-is-creeping-up-on.5781050.jp">Ghost Hunt &#8211; North East Aircraft Museum FULL VIDEO</a></p>
<p>I rarely encourage the production of complex packages which are often seen by just a few hundred users despite eating up a day of a reporter&#8217;s time. This trade-off is especially galling when the journalist&#8217;s written words or a photo slideshow would have been a more effective means of telling the story.</p>
<p>Sometimes the compelling subject of a video (such as our forthcoming series of first-hand accounts of the Second World War) or its longevity make going that extra mile worth it. We spent a little more time on our Halloween video than the hits we&#8217;ll get this year would justify, for instance. But it can now be rolled out every year without dating, along with our other Halloween specials.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t claim the camera-work, voiceover or editing are world class, but the overall effect will hopefully be enjoyed by our visitors and enhance the Sunderland Echo brand online. Plus &#8211; yes &#8211; I enjoyed pulling the project together in Avid. And maybe that&#8217;s the best reason of all to spend time on your video output&#8230;</p>

<p>Primäre 3D-Software: Softimage</p>
<p>Inhalt: Mit dem „TDI Clean Diesel-System“ hat Audi den saubersten Dieselmotor der Welt entwickelt. Die Aufgabe bestand darin, diesen technisch komplizierten Prozess im Katalysator einfach und dramatisch zu erzählen und dafür eine völlig neue visuelle Sprache zu finden. Die Grundidee für den Spot war einfach: Aus einem Alphabet werden 97 % aller Buchstaben gefiltert, 3 % kommen am Ende durch und zwar T, D und I. Wichtig war es den Filter an sich &#8211; nicht als ein technisch, abstraktes Gerät darzustellen, sondern viel mehr seine Funktion mit Hilfe einer außergewöhnlich Bildsprache sichtbar zu machen.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>animago AWARD – Beste Mobil-Produktion</strong></p>
<p>Produktion „iKitty“</p>
<p>Artist: Thorsten Rauser, the binary family</p>
<p>Inhalt: Sie schnurrt, sie faucht, sie frisst &#8211; iKitty erinnert ein wenig an Garfield, der vierpfotige Schnurrbartträger lebt aber auf dem iPhone. Der virtuelle Katzenhalter hat verschiedene Möglichkeiten, das Kätzchen bei Laune zu halten. Tut man das nicht und setzt iKitty zum Beispiel einem Schleudertrauma aus, beendet das derart malträtierte Kätzchen einfach das Programm &#8211; eine halbe Stunde muss man warten, bis sich iKitty wieder streicheln und füttern lässt.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>animago AWARD – Beste Nachwuchsproduktion</strong></p>
<p>Produktion „Trickster“</p>
<p>Artists: Alexander Pohl</p>
<p>Primäre 3D-Software: VIZ, Maya</p>
<p>Der Zirkusclown, als digitaler Charakter zu einer Kunstfigur stilisiert, die bereits Fellini in seinem Film „The Clowns“ begraben hat, ist Ausgangspunkt dieses Animationsfilmes. Das Duo Dummer August und Weißer Clown tritt getrennt auf, repräsentativ für eine zunehmend polarisierte Welt, die durchsetzt ist von Normen und Regeln. Als unfreiwilliger Clown auf die Leinwand eines Kinos projiziert und von einem ahnungslosen Publikum auf voyeuristische Art und Weise beobachtet und gedemütigt, findet er schließlich zu sich selbst und seinem Archetyp, dem sogenannten Trickster.</p>

<p>Artists: Digic Pictures</p>
<p>Primäre 3D-Software: VIZ, Maya</p>
<p>Assassin’s Creed II ist der Nachfolger des Titels, der als schnellst verkaufte neue Marke in die Videospiel-Geschichte einging. Der mit Spannung erwartete Nachfolger präsentiert einen neuen Helden namens Ezio Auditore da Firenze, einen jungen italienischen Adligen, und eine neue Ära &#8211; die italienische Renaissance, mit all ihren kulturellen Errungenschaften und dunklen Seiten. Assassin’s Creed II erzählt eine epische Geschichte über Familie, Rache und Verschwörung. Schauplatz ist das Italien der Renaissance, eine Epoche, die Meilensteine der Kunst hervorbrachte, aber auch Schattenseiten voller Korruption und Habgier beinhaltete. Ezio freundet sich mit Leonardo da Vinci an, bekommt es mit den mächtigsten Familien in Florenz zu tun und wandelt durch die Kanäle Venedigs, wo er alles lernt, um ein Meister-Assassine zu werden.</p>

<p>Artist: Verdi Voß</p>
<p>Primäre 3D-Software: Cinema 4D</p>
<p>Inhalt: „42“ ist laut Autor Douglas Adams die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Universum, dem Leben und allem. Ob wir über das 3D-Still von Verdi Voß mehr Auskunft zu diesem philosophischen Ansatz finden, ist fraglich. Klar ist jedoch: „Hausnummer 42“ ist ein perfekter Spiegel der Wirklichkeit, der allerdings nicht affektiert aufpoliert wurde, sondern seine natürlichen und alltäglichen Schlieren des urbanen Lebens trägt. Damit reflektiert das digitale Werk dem Auge des Betrachtes eine herausragende Authentizität.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-940" title="Trickster von Alexander Pohl ist für den animago nominiert" src="http://redaktion42.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/pohl.gif" alt="Trickster von Alexander Pohl ist für den animago nominiert" width="400" height="243" /></p>
<p>Im Moment bin ich schon etwas nervös. Morgen, Donnerstag 29. Oktober 2009, startet unsere erste animago CONFERENCE in der Filmstadt Babelsberg. Wer Lust hat an der Zukunft teilzunehmen, ist herzlich eingeladen. Karten gibt es an der Tageskasse. Mein Team von der DIGITAL PRODUCTION hat zusammen mit Freunden aus Berlin, vom örtlichen Autodesk-Händler Lichtblick 4D, eine fabelhafte Veranstaltung konzipiert. Gefördert wird der ganze Spaß durch das Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg.</p>
<p>Das Programm und die Referenten können sich sehen lassen: Paul Kanyuk verrät uns Hintergründe über die Crowd Simulation bei Pixar. Einen exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen des neuen Emmerich-Blockbusters „2012“ versprechen auch die Vorträge von Thomas Zauner (Scanline) „2012. Der ultimative Weltuntergang“ und Mohsen Mousavi (Pixomondo) „Technical FX pipeline on 2012 &#38; Advanced Crowd simulation pipeline“. Und das ist wirklich eine Wucht: Noch bevor der Film 2012 in die Kinos kommt, sprechen bei uns gleich zwei Kreative über ihre Arbeit und stellen die Trick vor. Das ist eine absolute Seltenheit und ich freu mich wirklich darauf.</p>
<p>Mit dabei ist auch Hanno Hagedorn (Naughty Dog) zum Spiel des Jahres „Making of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves“. Das Spiel wurde auf der Games Com zum Spiel der Messe gekürt und ich bin mal gespannt über die Grafik und wie die Macher Bits und Bytes geordnet haben.</p>
<p>Persönlich freut es mich sehr, Armin Pohl von Mackevision als Referenten (und als Sponsor) zu treffen und zu hören. Macke ist ein starkes Unternehmen, gute Ideen, gutes Konzept und wirklich engagierte Leute. Pohl spricht  über „Create with no limits! Will CGI take it all?“</p>
<p>Dies ist auch nur möglich geworden, weil wir starke Partner an der Seite haben: Avid, Maxon, eyeon, Mackevision, PNY, 3Dconnexion, ChaosGroup. DANKE für eure Hilfe.</p>
<p>Am Abend des ersten Konferenztages muss ich dann ran. Wir verliehen zum 13. Mal den animago AWARD, den wichtigsten Preis der Animationsbranche. 13 ist aber keine Unglückszahl. Wir haben 1000 Einsendungen aus 44 Ländern für die elf AWARDs bekommen. Wow, diese Tatsache kann sich sehen lassen und beweist, dass das Konzept des animago richtig ist. Ich darf rund zweieinhalb Stunden moderieren und die Gäste durch den Abend führen. Eine ungewohnte Rolle für mich, denn eigentlich bin ich eher hinter dem Schreibtisch als auf einer Bühne zu finden. Aber was solls. Ein Mitarbeiter meinte neulich: „Die Rampensau wird es schon machen.“ Ich sehe das Mal als Lob und Motivation.</p>
<p>Wir haben dieses Jahr mit dem neuen Standort Babelsberg am Konzept gefeilt. Wir wollten mehr Öffentlichkeit und ich denke, es ist uns gut gelungen. „Der Artist in der Postproduktion soll die Anerkennung bekommen, die er verdient.“ Die ersten Schritte sind gemacht, die Weichen sind gestellt. Wir haben Publikumsvotings eingeführt, bei denen Interessierte den Sieger mitbestimmen konnten. Eine Fachjury hat eine Vorauswahl getroffen und dann wurde abgestimmt. Diese Votings wurden hervorragend angenommen. Außerdem haben wir starke Medienpartner an der Seite, die in ihre Branche den animago AWARD getragen haben.</p>
<p>Alles in allem bin ich zufrieden. Natürlich sind viele Ideen auf der Strecke geblieben. Aber der Grundstein für eine erfolgreiche Veranstaltung in Babelsberg, der Wiege des deutschen Films, sind gelegt. Der animago ist dort angekommen, wohin er gehört.</p>
