Adam WiltAdam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC. Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

R.I.P, VHS DistributionAfter more than three decades, VHS is fading away…
Today’s NAB SmartBrief points out that the last major supplier of pre-recorded VHS tapes stopped shipping them to retailers in October. They reference a story in the L.A. Times (registration may be required), and The Register also notes the ending of an era. Though 2006’s “A History of Violence” was the last major VHS release, tapes have been circulating through the supply chain ever since. Not bad for a format introduced ‘way back in 1976 (Japan) or 1977 (USA). But all things come to an end… anyone wanna buy a couple of perfectly good working AG-1960 decks?

Mike Curtis has made the case that indie features aren’t a viable business. Sad, perhaps (Nate Van Dusen said Mike was “serving up hot cups of depresso”), but that doesn’t mean that indie films as a whole are dead. Documentaries, for example, remain alive and well. more »

Compositing in FCP X
On this week’s MacBreak Studio
On this week’s MacBreak Studio, I show Steve Martin from Ripple Training a few things I’ve discovered in my exploration of the compositing features in Final Cut Pro X.
David Atkins Enterprises and Digital Pulse use Adobe software for record-setting arena projection
Australian production studio delivers animation for the 12th Arab Games, on record-size projection space, using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
In December 2011, the 12th quadrennial Arab Games took place in Doha, Qatar at Khalifa International Stadium. As part of the planning process for the Doha games, the world-renowned event production agency, David Atkins Enterprises (DAE), was commissioned to conceive and produce the opening and closing ceremonies. Following this commission, DAE contracted Australian digital design and video production specialists, Digital Pulse, to produce the animated visuals for the opening ceremony including the athletes’ parade and cultural segments. Far from a conventional production canvas, the animated visuals that the Digital Pulse team were to produce for the event would have to play seamlessly across the stadium’s two different playback systems: a contiguous LED system installed behind all stadium seats and an 86-projector projection system that covered a world record 12,600 cubic metres of on-field projection space.
