WELCOME TO THE PROVIDEO COALITION NETWORK

Launched the last day of February 2008, as an extension of the PVC (www.provideocoalition.com).

Please keep in mind that this is still beta, so we're working on tightening things up. Don't be shy - post in the groups, start new groups, and visit the PVC regularly.

In addition to the great writing talent already on board, we'll be adding some new folks with new topics soon.

Any comments, questions or suggestions on how to make this and the PVC better, let me know.

Cheers,
Scott

Canon 5D Mark II + 2010 = 24, 25 fps

I like my Canon 5D Mark II - it shoots great stills, and it also shoots more than passable HD video. I’m personally a fan of working at frame rate of 30p, so I didn’t even mind this limitation all that much, but I have to admit I was irked when the 7D - and then the 1D Mark IV - were announced with a much wider range of frame rates (and frame sizes). So I was feeling considerably better about my purchase after Canon Europe, UK, and Australia announced a firmware update for the 5D that will support 24 and 25 fps HD capture (as of the time I write this, a search does not turn up a similar announcement on the Canon USA site - thus my delay in learning about it).

Painting with Light

This past week, I was back in Los Angeles briefly on business, and spent what little free time I had getting my art fix at LACMA. While there, I was enthralled to encounter Thomas Wilfred‘s last piece, Luccata - Opus 162. Unlike the normal still artwork you would expect to find in an art museum, Opus 162 is a “Lumia” - an animated light display created by a complex mechanism of lights, painted glass, mirrors, and the such, which plays back a long, slowly evolving composition that is back-projected into a screen. (I could imagine someone creating animations in a similar spirit today using tools such as Trapcode Form.) It was really quite beautiful, and very peaceful after a hectic day of travel and meetings.

Review: Apple Magic Mouse and Final Cut Studio

I’m on a constant search for the ultimate input device for editing. Look at my editing desk on any given day and there may be some mad combination of an Apple Mighty Mouse, a Kensington Expert Mouse (which is just a trackball), a Contour Shuttle Pro, a Wacom graphics tablet, a Poker Mouse and of course the keyboard. While the absolute best input device for editing is a keyboard it’s inevitable that you will have to reach for a mouse at some point during the edit day. Enter the new Apple Magic Mouse and its touch sensitive surface. But how is it for editing?

Hollywood Black Magic Filter Big Part of Reynolds’ Bag of Tricks for Better Off Ted

When cinematographer Brian Reynolds began prep for the Fox/ABC half-hour comedy series Better Off Ted, his challenge was to trim the budget and keep the quality look as well as the 11-hour work day. “One of my first choices was to add Schneider’s Hollywood Black Magic filters to our lenses,” says Reynolds.

updated personal website

Hi guys, just a quick update. My personal website (www.ilovehue.net) is now up-to-date. I have uploaded a lot of clip I worked on in the past years. Nothing new for the one who went on the old website but still, it's going in the right direction. Most of the 2D is done in MOTION. The low-fi 3D is done with Zaxwerk softwares and the editing work is done in Final Cut. My resume will get updated soon. Shamelessly propoting himself, Mathieu Marano
