I like that Keith Loutit is actually using the effect dramatically here, making the technique integral to the film as opposed to a simple wow factor.

This is a great little film, wonderful portfolio piece. It does a great job at establishing a look and a mood. I love that Spy Films also put their Making Of on Vimeo as well. It shows exactly how much work went into it.

This site is great for checking out Motion Graphics portfolio pieces. It does what it says:

Motionspire – Motion Graphics Inspiration

RED has decided to take the lego approach, which is pretty exciting. You get to do a lot of mix and match for your application or budget. Take a look

We have changed everything about Scarlet because the market has changed and we have discovered a lot of things in the process. We have a new vision.

Wipe you minds of the past announced Scarlet. Forget the design and forget the price. It is all different now. We think you will be surprised. Glad we didn’t take any deposits…

Scarlet… not the same. – Scarletuser.com.

Exciting! Wonder what the changes are and I hope they aren’t raising the price…

Here I was getting all jazzed about the any-NAB-now DSLR from Red and then Stu Maschwitz throws a big cold shower on the whole thing… Good post though…

ProLost: RED Addresses the “DSLR Market”
RED is a lot like Apple entering the cell phone market. It takes an outsider to start over from scratch and shake up the assumptions that the staid players hold dear. But as an outsider it’s very difficult to just get the basics right.

sadly (for showing my age), I recognized all the gear he used and owned several pieces of it. In fact, I probably still have my scanjet 4C sitting in a box somewhere…

I also like the way he did the video, looks straight out of ‘84

[Via Slashdot: Apple QuickTime DRM Disables Video Editing Apps]

According to numerous posts on Apples discussion forums several threads of which have been deleted by Apple, as well as a number of popular video editing blogs, Apples recent QT 7.4 update does more than just enable iTunes video rentals — it also disables Adobes professional After Effects video editing software. Attempting to render video files after the update results in a DRM permissions error. Unfortunately, it is not possible to roll back to a previous version of QT without doing a full OSX reinstall. Previous QT updates have also been known to have severe issues with pro video editing apps.

Of course, you knew never to install any software or OS update (mac or windows) without first waiting to see if there were any reports of problems, right?
