Graphic Design from Poetry

Mark Spencer | 08/19- 02:42 PM

Interactive Graphic Design with Words

image

Held every year in Bremen, Germany, Poetry on the Road is an international literature festival. The theme for the festival in 2007 and 2008 was designed by Boris Müller, a professor at the Interface Design programme of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, using software that generates a graphic design based on words. There’s an interactive demonstrator that lets you enter your own words to generate designs - quite interesting. Check out the viewer for 2008 here and for 2007 here.

Color Workflows With Different Video Formats

Andrew Balis | 07/22- 02:29 PM

Getting Video In and Out of Color

image

One of the most confusing issues that comes up frequently with new users of Color is how to get in and out of Color with different types of video formats. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to clear up the confusion by presenting the four main workflows Color can utilize, as well as how each format can be handled by Color.  This article relates to users of Color version 1.0.2 or later.  We’ll look at how to handle video formats captured via capture card, as well as how to work with “native” formats captured via FireWire such as DV, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD and HDV.

Edit and Optimize 2D Stereo Pairs from a 3D Video Camera or Twin Cameras with a Modified Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects CS5.5

Adobe included a 1-step option to create a 3D Stereo Camera Rig in After Effects CS5.5, to everyone’s enthusiasm for a simpler workflow in 3D space. Great if you are working in 3D space in After Effects, but what about an easy option for 3D Stereo pairs captured by a 3D camera or twin cameras on a rig? In this tutorial I’ll show you how to quickly modify the Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects to quickly mux your L&R video files and adjust the convergence for anaglyph, interlaced or stereo pairs output.

How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot

Allan Tépper | 02/10- 04:23 PM

A contracted article, sponsored by Datavideo Corporation.

Our friends at Datavideo recently asked me to write an article called How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot. The article covers many factors involved in accomplishing that goal, including framerate, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, and menu settings in Datavideo’s digital HD video mixers (“switchers”) and recorders, and also the menu settings in several pro cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. The included chart explains which of the cameras have a direct HD-SDI output, and which require an optional converter to go from HDMI to HD-SDI to connect to the Datavideo digital HD video mixer. As you’ll see in the article, the approach is quite different from the workflows I normally cover, which are more appropriate when programs are to be edited, as opposed to when they are shot —and potentially broadcast— live. The graphics for this article were done by Victory Elliot of Datavideo Corporation.
