I Decide: Anatomy of a No-Budget HD Spot

Art Adams | 09/29- 02:35 PM

Wherein a great group of people come together for a good cause

This was the first project shot for California’s No on Prop 8 campaign. In an attempt to reach out to young voters I recruited my cousin Catherine, and her best friend Austin, to record an appeal for youth to get up and vote down Prop 8. They’re both politically active and immediately said “yes” to the project.

AJA + Adobe = Great High-End Workflows

Dennis Radeke | 09/20- 03:44 PM

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have the privilege of getting to work with high-end workflows all of the time.  I go from everything to DV to Film 4K and everything in between, but clearly SD and compressed HD workflows predominate what we do.

On Artbeats.com: Article on Type Basics

Chris and Trish Meyer | 09/17- 08:10 PM

Things your mother didn’t tell you about creating nice text.

Every month, we write a Tips N Tricks article for our friends at Artbeats.com. This month we wrote a basic introduction to using text - including a few simple rules of typography that many miss, plus a more subjective discussion about choosing the right fonts for a job. (This is obviously a companion for the piece on Font Resources that we just posted here on PVC.)

Offline To Online For An HD Project

Kevin P. McAuliffe | 09/06- 09:32 PM

After you get over completing your first “online”, you will be finishing all your projects in record time.

I thought that for this next article, I would take a look at a growing trend for editors these days, and that is the “One Man Shop”.  What I mean by that is that these days, with systems coming down in price, independent business owners/editors are wearing many hats, and one of those hats is that of the offline/online editor.  Let’s take a look at how an editor can offline a 1080i HD project, and then carry it through to the online.

Too Much Data!

Art Adams | 09/05- 02:07 PM

In a world where tape is disappearing, how do I inexpensively backup all my data shoots?

I’m going into a RED shoot this weekend and I’ve realized my hard drives are full. Now what?
