Recently Added: Columns on Enhancing Footage

We were recently asked by a reader to re-post a column we wrote for DV Magazine over nine years ago on enhancing subpar client and archive footage. It’s an ageless topic, as even in this day of cheap high-definition cameras, we all still have projects where we have to use less-than-ideal sources. As we were posting that column (Spinning Gold), we realized it referenced a second column on simple color treatments. So we’ve re-posted both of them online here at PVC:

• Spinning Gold
• Getting Behind the Color Wheel

We hope you find them useful. Feel free to share your own techniques and recipes in the Comments section. If there’s enough interest, we’ll update these with some additional techniques.

Interview over on Motion.TV

One of our plans for this blog is to also talk about the business of being a motion graphics artist - how to work with clients, as well as how to keep your own ship in order. Unfortunately, we haven’t had time to do much of that so far (among other things, we’ve moved). However, Lilian Dregalla interviewed us for the motion08 conference, where we had a chance to muse about subjects such as understanding the purpose behind each motion graphics task you take on, as well as some of the philosophy behind our books. You can read it here.

Meanwhile, we’re about to hit the road, speaking at VidXpo in Denver next week, and then speaking at motion08 in Albuquerque the week after. Hope to see some of you there! Afterward, we’re hunkering down to finish a new edition of After Effects Apprentice (for CS4), and then hopefully this winter we can get back to some of the topics we want to blog about up here.

The End of the DVD Reel

There. I said it. DVDs are done like dinner. Disappered like dodos. Disposed of like dirty dishes. Dissapated like disparaging alliterations that I’m now going to stop, please and thank you. Yes, I’ve burned my last DVD, and I’ll be a richer, more dynamic and connected man for it.

Handheld Camera Script

Introducing a new script that creates an AE camera that not only has handheld motion, but can be easily adjusted to mimic a variety of camera motion effects like running, being on a gravel road or even being intoxicated to name a few.
