Saturday, February 09, 2008The Second Revolution in Desktop VideoChris Meyer | 02/09- 08:11 PMIt’s harder to make money this time around.
If you’re reading this blog hoping to learn - with post-humus apologies to Douglas Adams - The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything (view on Amazon)
One question that’s floating around these days is “How the heck do I make money creating video content for the web, such as podcasts?” Indeed, it seems there is more money in teaching podcasting than in podcasting itself!
Friday, February 08, 2008Motion Graphics concepts demonstrated…on a trampoline.Chris Meyer | 02/08- 10:54 AMVideo training at its finest.
This isn’t new, but we just stumbled across it, and thought it would provide some comic relief going into the weekend. It’s a live, one-take, in-front-of-an-audience music video (for the song “zZz is playing: Grip") that is also a demonstration of common motion graphics techniques and video transitions, performed by folks on a trampoline. Ya gotta watch it more than once to pick up all the details, like the musicians on the left and right (the drummer on the left is also the singer), and the person painting the progress bar in real time underneath. Hang around until the end to see that it was indeed in front of an audience.
Tuesday, February 05, 2008Motion Blur MusingsChris Meyer | 02/05- 07:10 PMManaging motion blur is important both for shooters and for animators. A fellow user recently asked about problems he was having with motion stutter when slowing down 24p (24 frame per second, progressive scan) footage. This led to a series of musings about using motion blur - including some new options in After Effects CS3 - that we thought would be good to share. more »Tuesday, February 05, 2008Adobe/MAXON Power Integration TourChris Meyer | 02/05- 09:18 AMWho doesn’t like free food, prizes, and information?
We have long been fans of Cinema 4D as a 3D package for motion graphics artists, both for its feature set (including the powerful MoGraph module) and its very tight integration with After Effects. We focused on this integration in Chapter 38 of Creating Motion Graphics 4th Edition (an excerpt from that chapter can be downloaded here ). Last year Adobe and Maxon did a joint tour touting this integration. They had so much fun, they’’re doing it again this year. The first event was at the January 2008 DMA/LA meeting; the tour proper kicks off February 26 in San Francisco - see the full list of cities and dates below. more »Friday, February 01, 2008Welcome to Creating Motion GraphicsChris and Trish Meyer | 02/01- 08:00 AMSharing in a new place. Welcome to the Creating Motion Graphics blog on ProVideo Coalition! We’re very happy to be here, and look forward to using this new forum to share with our fellow motion graphics artists tips and trends that we think might be useful or intriguing. We will also be posting an archive of many of our past articles and columns which contain a wealth of advice and techniques. And on occasion, we will be posting our musings on the state of the industry (such as in the rest of this entry, past the “more” jump). more »Thursday, January 31, 2008After Effects 8.0.2 and gamma issuesChris Meyer | 01/31- 04:10 PMAmong numerous enhancements, its color management system has been tweaked. Adobe has released an 8.0.2 update for After Effects CS3. Its headline new features are support for Mac OS 10.5, as well as for P2 media. There are also the expected array of bug fixes. What’s been getting less press than it deserves is a change in the way it handles color management with respect to QuickTime files.

, I’m afraid we may disappoint you from time to time: We don’t know all of the answers. But sometimes just asking questions is important, because it starts the discussions which eventually lead to the answers.
