The Secrets of the Chroma Du Monde, Explained Live (on tape) at NAB!If you’ve always wanted to find out if I present on video as well as I write… click here to find out! I spent a lot of time in the DSC Labs booth at NAB, giving Chroma Du Monde demonstrations and teaching basic waveform/vectorscope tricks. PVC’s Scott Gentry stopped by and asked me to say a few words on video, and this is the result. Enjoy! Click to audio / video »A Mix of Film and HD Doesn’t Scare Arri’s Alexa
The client wanted contrasty toplight against seamless white, and then they wanted to intercut that with stock footage shot on film. Thanks to Arri’s Alexa, what the client wants—the client gets. In spades. more »

Where I’ll Be at NABIn case you want to play “meet the troublemaker,” here’s how to find me.
I’m constantly amazed at how many readers I have, and if you’d like to amaze me more by stopping by and saying hi I’ll be in the DSC Labs booth (C10215, near Band Pro, Tiffen and Abel Cine) on Monday and Tuesday, with shorter appearances Wednesday and Thursday as I’ll be wandering around a bit more. I’m also on a DP Track panel with Geoff Boyle, FBKS, Roberto Schafer, ASC and Michael Bravin on Sunday in room 258, which I’m told is to the rear of the north hall, second floor. And for those of you who are on the Cinematography Mailing List, I’ll be at the CML Party Tuesday night—although I’ll probably stop by the latest camera assessment screening first. See you at NAB!

NAB 2011 - SCCE Charts
Hard numbers (such as they are) resulting from the Single Chip Camera Evaluation.
Steve Hullfish has already nicely described the Single Chip Camera Evaluation that Robert Primes, ASC organized at Zacuto’s behest. I just have a couple of comments to add, along with images of the three charts of actual numbers that emerged from the tests.
CMG Hidden Gems: Chapter 22 – Applying and Using Effects
Another selection of “hidden gems” (and essential advice), this time from Chapter 22 of Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects.
We’re going through our book Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects 5th Edition (CMG5) and pulling out a few “hidden gems” from each chapter. These will include essential advice for new users, plus timesaving tips that experienced users may not be aware of.
One of the richest areas for exploration in After Effects is its “effects” side. The variety of effects supplied with After Effects ranges from the extremely utilitarian to the extremely wild, each with anywhere from one to over 100 parameters you can adjust. In Chapter 22 of CMG, we start with an overview of how to apply and edit effects. We then move onto some more sophisticated tricks using effects, such as animating their Effect Point, using adjustment layers, exploiting mask paths, and adding blending modes. We end with Layer Styles: a powerful alternative to common effects such as bevels, glows and shadows, borrowed from Photoshop.
We’ll assume you know how to apply an effect to a layer using either the Effect menu or the Effects & Presets panel. If you need instructions, please consult Help > After Effects Help. Below are a few tips that may have escaped you:
