SPONS AGENCY Appalachian Regional Commission, Washington, D.C. NOTE 75p.; Interim Report EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Cable Television, Community Antennas, *Depressed Areas (Geographic), *Educational Needs, *Statistical Data, *Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Appalachia ABSTRACT This document examines the problems and potentials that cable televisions have in public service, with a view toward understanding CATV's growth and how that growth relates to the developmental and educational needs of the Appalachian Region. Six developmental districts in Appalachia were chosen for intensive study.A team of consultants was organized to perform the research. Statistics were collected by the questionnaire method. Data gathered indicate that: (1) Cable systems that have been 0-500 subscribers have an average market saturation of 60%; (2) Systems with between 501 and 1,500 subscribers have an average 63% market saturation; (3) Cable systems with 1,501 to 3,500 and above have an average market penetration of 62%. This survey also showed that the CATV operators would be interested in participating in a regional cable television network. Upon completion of the research, an engineering report will be issued.

Thomas Schatz showed unflagging confidence in the project‟s value and in my ability to finish it. Sharon Strover offered feedback and encouragement at key moments and generously provided workspace in the crucial last months. James Hay was a wonderful source of challenging questions and reassurance. Bruce Hunt and Nancy Schiesari provided new perspectives on this subject that I greatly appreciated. Also, William Christ and Jennifer Henderson kindly hired me to teach at Trinity University for several semesters running and another Trinity colleague, Patrick Keating, helped invigorate this project with his research and our conversations. My graduate colleagues Kyle Barnett, Avi Santo, Hollis Griffin, Alison Perlman, and Holly Custard have encouraged me with welcome feedback and timely commiseration. The cinematographers and filmmakers that spoke with me were remarkably generous with their time. There are too many to thank here, but Curtis Clark, the chairman of the ASC Technology Committee, deserves a special mention for sharing his unique perspective and great knowledge.

    Tech 3289 Guidelines for Broadcasters Preservation and Reuse of Filmmaterial for television May 2001 European Broadcasting Union Case postale 45 Ancienne Route 17A CH-1218 Grand-Saconnex Geneva, Switzerland [email protected] PRESERVATION AND REUSE OF FILM MATERIAL FOR TELEVISION Summary Future television production systems will require easier access to archival film material in an electronic digital form, for both preview and production purposes. In order to meet these requirements, broadcasters will need to transfer large collec- tions of film material – a very time-consuming and expensive operation. Regretta- bly, some of the film material in their vaults may already have started to degrade, due to adverse storage conditions. This document offers comprehensive guidelines to broadcasters on the handling, storage and reuse of motion picture film material for television production, both now and in the future. The telecine transfer process is discussed in detail, with special attention being given to its replay and correction properties. The document also discusses the effects of storage conditions on film material, and the problems encountered when handling endangered, degraded, material in a broadcast environ- ment. There is specific advice on how to check, preserve and store film material. Special attention is paid to the so-called “vinegar syndrome”, which is considered the major threat to the future reuse of acetate-based film material. The EBU working group which produced this document would like to acknowledge Eastman Kodak Company, the Image Permanence Institute and the Rochester Institute of Technology for the facts and figures on motion picture film properties and behaviour that are quoted here.

  • White Paper Dust to Glory: a Film
    white paper a white paper by digitalfi lm tree Dust to Glory: A Film author: charles koppelman Dust to Glory: The fi lm a white paper by digitalfi lm tree Dust to Glory, a Dana Brown fi lm (IFC Films, 2005) is an extraor- dinary fi lm about the most notorious and dangerous race in the world, the 36th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Far from a traditional documentary, “Dust to Glory” (D2G), directed by Dana Brown (“Step into Liquid”), is all-encompass- ing in its depth and breadth. It also breaks new ground with the methods by which it was made. D2G may be the most elaborate, complex, high-end digital fi lm to ever be completed using a high- defi nition digital intermediate with a Windows-based PC system: Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, CineForm’s Pros- pect HD, Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse, with BOXX and AJA technology. “This is a tough man’s game.” -- From the trailer for D2G DigitalFilm Tree, a post production/visual effects facility based in West Hollywood, was engaged to consult during “Dust to Glory” post-production. “We felt that ‘Dust to Glory’ was a great project for a place such as ours,” says DigitalFilm Tree CEO Ramy Katrib. “In a collaborative effort with Laser Pacifi c and the fi lmmakers themselves, we were able to be part of a revolutionary workfl ow that involved almost every format imaginable. Together, this team established a digital domain unique to the challenges faced and produced a viable and beautiful piece of celluloid in the end.” This white paper takes you behind the scenes to reveal secrets of how D2G was produced, shot, edited, and fi nished — saving nearly half a million dollars along the way.

  • Digital Film Supplement
    DIGITAL FILM SUPPLEMENT Editor: Bob Pank Introduction What started over a decade ago with the use of digital effects and offline in film has grown into the much wider use of digital technology to embrace the whole scene-to-screen process. For many, Avid’s Film Composer was their first encounter with any form of digital film, and today it is commonplace for the offline decision-making process. Certainly the use of equipment like Kodak’s Cineon, Quantel’s Domino and later Discreet’s Inferno have transformed the whole use of effects shots in motion pictures – even to the extent of changing the way pictures are made. Initially, only the effects shots were put through the film-digital-film processes. Now, thanks to further developments in many areas such as digital storage, scanning, processing and projection, whole features are handled as Digital Intermediates to produce digital masters at full film resolution. As the technology gaps are plugged events are moving rapidly so that digital pictures and sound can carry all the way from scene to screen. This is already happening with a number of feature films, including Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, shot on digital cameras and digital all the way through to projection in digital, as well as traditional, cinemas. Famously, George Lucas said at NAB 2001‘I will never make another film… on film again.’ Clearly he is convinced of the benefits of all-digital production. The digital scene-to-screen path comprises three distinct areas: capture/shooting, post production and distribution/projection – otherwise know as Digital Cinema.
