Scott Gentry

Scott Gentry started his career as a child actor then moving to ABC All My Children first in production straight out of college, then in front of the camera for a short stint as a regular walk-on (woo-hoo!).

Scott also worked the stadium camera for NY Jets and Giants games, as well a a multitude of events at the Meadowlands arena in NJ. From there he got into publishing and 6 months after sending his resume to DV magazine, he was the publisher. DV went from last to first place and Scott moved on to AV Video Multimedia Producer and led the team to turn that into Studio Monthly and launch Studio Daily.

Scott founded and helped establish PVC by gathering the best writers and video gurus in the market and putting them all in one place.

Apps4Phones Enters Beta

Own a Smartphone?  The fastest growing tech segment is smartphone applications…what are the best?

image

Apps4Phones is just going into beta and we’re on the hunt for seriously knowledgable writers who understand any or all of the following: iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Google Android, Palm Pre and more.

What’s the site about? 
It truly is the fastest growing segment of the tech industry, and there are lots of phone applications to choose from.  Apple knocked one out of the park with the iPhone and the Apps Store, now everyone is getting in on the action.  BlackBerry seems ready to launch their Apps Store perhaps as soon as April 1.  Palm will have theirs, Google Android already has theirs and there’s more coming…

Sure it has little to do with PVC, except that the same great model that we use to attract the best writers in the industry, will be used in our sister Apps4Phones.com site.  In addition, there are cetainly plenty of video and photography focused phone applications already, with more to come.  Just take a look at Allan’s recent Roxio post.

It’s still early beta, and full potential.  Feedback is always welcome.

Red Scarlet Footage - WOW!

For sale cheap: 2 Canon XH A1’s hardley used…

Damn this is some still.  For a camera said to cost approximately $2,500, I want one.  Think Jim would send one my way if I ask really, really nicely?  Test purposes of course…NAB is going to be fun this year.  The line for the RED booth just got longer…  “That just happened”

Coming Soon: PVC Pipeline Newsletters

Be the first to receive these newsletters with original reviews and techniques by PVC authors.

image

ProVideo Coalition (PVC) was launched in February 2008, and we appreciate the positive response we’ve received from our fellow video professionals. Now that it’s February 2009 (where has the time gone?), we are launching a line of newsletters: PVC Pipeline, which will contain original articles written by PVC authors. Subscribers receive advance access to these articles before they appear on the rest of the PVC website. Subscriptions are free; just click on the link in the upper right corner of each page, or here: SUBSCRIBE

The first newsletter - PVC Production Pipeline - will be released in a few days, and covers the subjects of cameras, lights, editing, and other production-related matters. The first issue is evenly divided between reviews and techniques pieces, including:

  • Adam Wilt reviewing the Sony HDW-650F HDCAM Camcorder
  • Steve Hullfish reviewing the Adobe live-capture application OnLocation CS4
  • Allan Tépper reviewing the video production live command center BoinxTV
  • Bruce Johnson sharing how to build a lighting kit out pieces available at any home center or lumberyard
  • Kendal Miller illustrating how to take advantage of depth cues when compositing your shots
  • Art Adams explaining what that innocuous “gain” control actually does, and how to best employ it

The second PVC Pipeline newsletter - due around the first of March - will cover the area of post-production, while we’re still cooking up which subjects to cover in our third newsletter (suggestions welcome!). So make sure you subscribe, and then keep your eyes on your email inbox for the first edition of PVC Pipeline.

Slight Programming Note

PVC will be upgrading the server 1/21/09 between 2:29AM-02:59AM PST

We’re just about to hit our 1 year anniversary at PVC on February 1.  Due to the large volume of traffic, we’re forced to upgrade our servers to handle the load.  Good problems to have.

With that, the site will be down between 2:29am - 2:59am PST tomorrow the 21st.

Very sorry for the inconvenience, but this will make the overall site faster.

Apple Intros the New 17” MacBook Pro

Unibody constructions comes to the 17”

This introduction is really no surprise.  Given that Apple has moved to this type of unibody construction across their entire laptop line.  I personally have the 15” and love it.  While I suspected the 17” would be announced at MacWorld when I purchased this a few months ago, I couldn’t wait.

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse

Art Adams | 05/24- 11:24 AM

Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…

I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
