Sales Brochure Text (added_10.17.07) Special thanks to Rick at nakedeye You know, you get to this point in your life where yeah, money's still important. It's really important, you gotta eat, you want to go places, do things, buy stuff, maybe raise a family. You still need to feel like you're on the way up, you haven't plateaued or started down the other side of the hill or something like that, so you've gotta keep working. But at the same time you need to be working on something worthwhile. When you put this kind of time and energy into a career you need to come out of it with more than a paycheck. Once you've been in film or video for a while, you realize the single most important thing is that you just want your tools to work, to work together, because you don't have the time or inclination to fool around any more. You've paid your dues, you've done the crap jobs, wrestled with clients, stayed up all night over and over again. I mean, you can get pretty sick of it. It gets old real fast. It's hard enough getting good ideas. Once you've got one, you want to get it out, play around with it until you're expressing it the best way possible, and move on. Obviously, if you're gonna put together something that really flows, the last thing you need is a bunch of separate applications from a bunch of different companies that don't talk t each other, that don't get it. Doing all these distracting little dances to move your ideas across, and then having to use

  • Camera Raw Workflows
    RAW WORKFLOWS: FROM CAMERA TO POST Copyright 2007, Jason Rodriguez, Silicon Imaging, Inc. Introduction What is a RAW file format, and what cameras shoot to these formats? How does working with RAW file-format cameras change the way I shoot? What changes are happening inside the camera I need to be aware of, and what happens when I go into post? What are the available post paths? Is there just one, or are there many ways to reach my end goals? What post tools support RAW file format workflows? How do RAW codecs like CineForm RAW enable me to work faster and with more efficiency? What is a RAW file? In simplest terms is the native digital data off the sensor's A/D converter with no further destructive DSP processing applied Derived from a photometrically linear data source, or can be reconstructed to produce data that directly correspond to the light that was captured by the sensor at the time of exposure (i.e., LOG->Lin reverse LUT) Photometrically Linear 1:1 Photons Digital Values Doubling of light means doubling of digitally encoded value What is a RAW file? In film-analogy would be termed a “digital negative” because it is a latent representation of the light that was captured by the sensor (up to the limit of the full-well capacity of the sensor) “RAW” cameras include Thomson Viper, Arri D-20, Dalsa Evolution 4K, Silicon Imaging SI-2K, Red One, Vision Research Phantom, noXHD, Reel-Stream “Quasi-RAW” cameras include the Panavision Genesis In-Camera Processing Most non-RAW cameras on the market record to 8-bit YUV formats

Betreuer Herr Prof. Christian Fries Fachhochschule Furtwangen Fachbereich Digitale Medien „Das vielleicht größte Missverständnis über die Fotografie kommt in den Worten ‚die Kamera lügt nicht‛ zum Ausdruck. Genau das Gegenteil ist richtig. Die weitaus meisten Fotos sind ‚Lügen‛ in dem Sinne, daß sie nicht vollkommen der Wirklichkeit entsprechen: sie sind zweidimensionale Abbildungen dreidimensionaler Objekte, Schwarzweißbilder farbiger Wirklichkeit, ‚starre‛ Fotos bewegter Objekte. … “ [Kan78] S. 54f Für Mama und Papa, of course.

Alle verwendeten Quellen und Hilfsmittel sind angegeben. Furtwangen, 24. Februar 2004 Thorsten Wolf Vorwort iii Vorwort In meiner Diplomarbeit „Gestaltungspotenzial von digitalen Compositingsystemen“ untersuche ich den vielseitigen visuellen Bereich der Medieninformatik. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen die gestalterischen Potenziale von digitalem Compositing ausgelotet werden. Hierzu untersuche ich theoretisch wie praktisch die digitalen Bildverarbeitungsverfahren und –möglichkeiten für analoge und digitale Bildquellen. Mein besonderes Augenmerk liegt hierbei auf dem Bereich der Bewegtbildgestaltung durch digitale Compositingsysteme. Diese Arbeit entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Firma on line Video 46 AG, Zürich. Besonderen Dank möchte ich Herrn Richard Rüegg, General Manager, für seine Unterstützung und allen Mitarbeitern, die mir in technischen Fragestellung zur Seite standen, aussprechen. Des weiteren bedanke ich mich bei Patrischa Freuler, Marian Kaiser, Marianne Klein, Jörg Volkmar und Tanja Wolf für ihre Unterstützung während der Diplomarbeitszeit.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

    1997 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL The 1997 Sundance Film Festival continued to attract crowds, international attention and an appreciative group of alumni fi lmmakers. Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.
