Santa Claus is Being Sued!

No user image
Posted
This morning a class action lawsuit was filed against Santa Claus over the discriminatory nature of the naughty and nice list. Disgruntled parents from across the globe have banded together to fight what the suit terms as "discrimination and oppression."

The prosecution had even stronger words. "The case is not only examining the fairness of the list, but the inter-workings of the holiday as a whole. Think about it, here we have an old man with a beard who breaks into your house, eats your food, and leaves presents for your kids."
While the entire world watches for the results of this groundbreaking case, the greater holiday community into a general panic. If Christmas isn't safe from lawsuits, is Halloween next?

Have you seen the tour of the iPhone?

http://www.apple.com/iphone/usingiphone/guidedtour_large.html


It looks incredible. They make the point that it is the best phone, the best ipod ever, etc. And based on this tour, I have to agree with them. Plus, they have picked up 10,000 videos from YouTube.

Chroma Key: So this may be the dumbest chromakey question ever ...

Jill Weinberger

Can you use chromakey with video you shot with a webam? (Presuming you shot in front of some kind of greenscreen, of course.)

I am incredibly new to even shooting and editing, let alone chromakey. Actually, technically I have more chromakey experience than I do film experience, given that I was once a performer in a chromakey show in a theme park. But still.

I'm gearing up to do a sort of pop culture/entertainment commentary vlog. And I think it would be much nicer to have the background of my choice than it would to feature my hideously messy apartment. So I was wondering if I could get all fancy with the chromakey. But from what I've gleaned from the few chromakey posts I've skimmed here, resolution may be a stumbling block.

Do not be afraid of offending me by pointing out any assumptions I've made in this post that are idiotic. I'm very good at many things, and so am at peace about being a moron at a few things.

Any thoughts? Much thanks.

Anybody working with low end technology, such as shooting with cell phones or mini-camcorders, for the Pocket Film Festival in Paris and other new venues? Here at Small Screen Video we're seeing how much we can do with "The Flip" mini.

Hey gang, Tyler here, just putting out the call to any local Montreal area moving picture folks. Let's get to know each other and each other's work and start making use of this tool TDR has provided for us.

And equally to anyone who wants to know more about the city or who's planning a visit - you can't sleep on my couch but I can help guide you through the bizarre place that is Quebec.

Working for the Web

Web video's made it easier for filmmakers to earn $ for their work. TurnHere pays talented filmmakers all over the world to shoot for the Web. If you're interested, check out our REELEDin sheet or visit www.turnhere.com.

Our filmmakers use 3-chip DV cams like the DVX100, etc., to make the videos. Most use Final Cut or Avid to edit.

Here's one of the many videos we've been creating worldwide, shot in South Africa.

Online video: Buying fresh gear

What new equipment is everyone looking to purchase? Lately we've been checking out the site EventDV.net. It's geared toward event videographers, but has an equipment section that lists tons of gear for sale.


Also, here's another TurnHere video for y'all. This one was filmed in the Panamanian jungle. Enjoy!
