Jacket pictures are a way of branding your dvd with a company logo, graphic, or a picture of the dvd box itself (or jacket image). Keep in mind that some DVD player manufacturers support this feature and some do not. The ones that don’t, generally use their own jacket picture when the DVD is stopped. My feeling is, why not create one anyway? The file takes up so little room on the disc, and the players that do support it will display your logo (or whatever) whenever playback is stopped. more » (0) Comments • • Permalink Tuesday, August 26, 2008 The Future of Visual Effects Mark Spencer \| 08/26- 07:44 AM Automatic matte extraction, touchup and rig removal?

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.
