Amazing, this is a great score. I listen to it on my iPod and it's haunting. Sad that it's because of a registration error.

Creating Quicktime export from Flash that include dynamically scripted animations2008-10-27T15:31:38Z2008-10-27T14:18:39Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.17152008-10-27T14:18:39Zhttp://theflashblog.com/?p=462...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
Nice. This was difficult if not impossible a few years back. But, this ability is very useful if you're in need of motion graphics that are very random or dependent on complex coding.

Some more details on the new Photoshop CS42008-09-24T17:06:58Z2008-09-24T17:01:31Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.17082008-09-24T17:01:31Zhttp://photoshopnews.com/feature-stories/whats-new-in-cs4-by-martin-evening/...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
Can't wait to get my hands on this one and try it out. I wonder if the canvas rotation is non-destructive? If it's destructive then what's the point?
Michael Moore is giving away Slacker Uprising for free2008-09-23T14:45:30Z2008-09-23T14:44:00Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.17072008-09-23T14:44:00Zhttp://slackeruprising.com/...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
His latest film follows him on a tour in 2004 to encourage college students to get out and vote.
Canon announces the 5D mark II2008-09-17T14:44:15Z2008-09-17T14:36:25Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.17062008-09-17T14:36:25Zhttp://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=17662#ModelFeaturesAct...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
update to the 5D also features full motion 1080p HD video. But, at 30fps, Stu Maschwitz thinks canon really missed the goal on this one as compared to Nikon's recent release of the video-enabled D90.]]>
Andrew Kramer's new training series is The Meteor2008-09-11T20:28:19Z2008-09-11T20:24:35Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.16982008-09-11T20:24:35Zhttp://www.videocopilot.net/meteor/...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
videocopilot.net that's not unlike The Bullet, but this one is free. I like his idea to create a pseudo-shot that looks like just 1 in a 1000 FX shots for a film and then spend time deconstructing it.]]>
What was that building behind John McCain's head?2008-09-05T14:37:53Z2008-09-05T14:36:32Ztag:www.stevesmart.com,2008:/smartLinks/6.16952008-09-05T14:36:32Zhttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/213806.php...Stevehttp://www.stevesmart.comsteve@stevesmart.com
I was wondering this too. It wasn't really a great photo to use, when they cut into a tight shot of McCain it was just a big blah green background. (This Bill G for the link!)

Rushmore, but pretty close. It's been out as a vanilla plain DVD for a while now, but this new Criterion edition will find a nice place on my DVD shelf right next to Rushmore.]]>

BD'M. These videos are really something, especially the first two. I dare anyone not to watch Heart and get a bit emotional. Interestingly enough, that particular spot was created by Jamie Caliri who created the awesome Dragon spot for United a while back.]]>
