Bruce A. Johnson
A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard. In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

REVIEW: proDad Vitascene
While I tend to be a pretty conservative editor, the time comes for all of us when we need some flashy effects to grab a viewer. Light blasts, aggressive color effects, blur transitions and the like can be powerful tools when used in the right places. Problem is, few editing applications come with these effects pre-programmed, and the software used to create the eye candy often carries a steep learning curve and a price point to match. Luckily, a German software company called proDad has come to the rescue with an application called Vitascene. What Does Your Future Hold?I think Chris Meyer got this one wrong… I really like reading Chris & Trish Meyer’s stuff. I certainly wish I had a list of credits as long as theirs. And they are nice folks to boot. But in my humble opinion, Chris’ post on this page, entitled “A Retro View Of The Future,” misses the mark by a long shot. more »Now I Know The RED Is For Real!It’s all in the users… Skeptics begone!

Motion and the OoO, Part 1
A Multi-part Motion Tip
The OoO? Some sort of secret society? Almost - OoO stands for Order of Operations, and if you’re not familiar how Motion calculates the changes you make to layers and groups, you might not get the results you want. Let’s take a closer look.
What Inspires You?
Motion Graphics and Creative Inspiration
You are deep in the middle of a complex project, racing to beat a tight deadline, and you’re stuck. Where do you find that creative spark? For me, the last place in the world is in front of a computer. I find that when I’m sitting at the computer, it’s time for perspiration, not inspiration. In other words, if my idea is already at least partially formed, I can get busy executing and problem solving. But coming up with a new approach? Never happens in front of a screen for me.
