Alfred's Action Reel: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjk0MTE4NjY0.htmlHey friends! I've been gone for a while. Just wanted to let everyone know what I've been up to. I recently action coordinated for Zhang Ziyi and fought opposite Wang Leehom in "My Lucky Star". Then I action coordinated for a few days on Feng Xiaogang's "Personal Tailor".After that I decided to go back to LA for a bit. I landed another job action coordinating for James Kyson of Heroes and landing a role in the project as well.Now I am off to China again to work on a Jackie Chan stunt team project. I will be out there for a few months. Please follow my adventures at http://www.alfredrocks.com/blogWishing you guys well!Alfred
To my excitement I landed my first non martial arts related audition recently. Well to be honest, I don't think I've really gone out to many auditions that require acting. The project is a grad student short called "Green Tea". I saw a breakdown for an Asian male to play a teenager and the audition was in Pasadena which is not too far from where I live so I submitted for it just to give it a shot.
The Audition
As usual parking is always a nightmare. I pull up to this faculty parking gate to ask someone where I could park and then the guy (I'm assuming he's a teacher) asks me all these questions in an incriminating voice.. "who are you? why are you here?" I tell him I'm here to audition for some project. Then he continues to lecture me saying "so you thought you would creep in the faculty parking lot and park here??" It was pretty annoying; I wanted to give him a piece of my mind, but I had no time for that. I had to park and get to the audition. Eventually I park in the student parking lot without a parking permit. Hey what can I say – gotta take risks in this game. haha
I get inside and lo and behold I see a ton of Asian males ranging from 15-30 all sitting with a scrīpt in hand. Not that I have anything against these guys or auditions, but I sorta hate the feeling of sitting in this ROW of chairs lined up with guys that all sorta look alike (especially when you glance at everyone to just check out whats going on). Anyways, there's nowhere to sit except for this lone chair a couple doors down.. so I drag it over amongst the silence. I felt like Will Smith in Men in Black when he drags that squeaky table closer while taking that entrance exam. So then I get a scrīpt and meet the guys next to me. They seem pretty cool. One by one they file in.
So before I go on.. let me give you the background of this short film. Li is adopted from China by a Caucasian American named Jack. Jack was in the military and when he was fighting in Asia he knew Li's father. I auditioned for 17 year old Li and then there is also a version of Li that is grown up who is around 40. In my scene I just came to America and am at a cafe with Jack. I ask for green tea, but the cafe only has coffee. Knowing that Li just came from China, I wanted to speak with a Chinese accent. Fortunately, I worked on another project that required an accent so I had some practice in that.
In order to stand out, I had to be different. I told myself.. Li is from China. I happen to have just come back from a trip to Asia so I just imagined I was still in Asia. I told myself to think in Chinese only. Auditioning can be a scary thing. Also speaking with an accent can be uncomfortable/ make you self-conscious.. so I let those feelings amplify because Li just came to America, he's young, he has a poor grasp of the English language, and he is in an unfamiliar place. The director told me "Just read from the top" and then I nervously splurted out "ni shuo shen me?" He looked confused at first, but then realized what I had said and then told me to read from the top in Chinese.
All of that helped me get into the scene better and later that day I got a call back telling me I got the part of young Li!
The Shoot
I got to work with some cool people including: Bo, the director, Hidekun, older Li, and Ed, who played Jack the war veteran that adopted me. In my opinion everyone there had a certain acting level where you could feel that it was like an instrument that they sharpened through practice. Although acting doesn't require working out your muscles like in sports per se, it still is something that gets better with training and honing – you can find your feelings quicker, you can react to lines naturally, you can find a strong reason for your character, while letting yourself go creatively, and staying under certain requirements of the director. I had a good time at the shoot. My mind did start getting numb after 20 takes, but that was good practice too – always finding a reason to stay fresh and respond naturally. I will post the finished project when its available!
2010 Sport Accord Combat Games
Martial Arts / Wushu
I've been teaching 3 private lessons a week still. A lot of people are preparing for CMAT.. as am I. Did I announce that I'll be going back to CHINA ? Because if not.. just letting yall know, I'll be going to China for the 2010 Sport Accord Combat Games in Aug/Sept. Honestly, I had planned to "retire" from competitive wushu and focus on stunts and action films, but apparently I qualified for this big tournament in Beijing. Only top 6 place at worlds qualify and only 1 male and 1 female from each country are invited. Flight and accommodations are covered for us so I couldn't turn it down. I will be competing in Chang Quan aka Long Fist.
In other words I am getting back to training. I have been staying in shape, but the things I have been practicing were different. I was training more kickboxing and acrobatics, but now I'll need to focus on wushu rules, nandu, speed, rhythm, cleanliness of movements, and etc. I feel like this tournament is fate talking to me because it gives me a hard date and specific reason to draw me back to Asia. I don't know what else it can bring, but I am a strong believer in going with the flow and doing what feels right.
Here I give myself a little pat on the back. Not a big pat on the back, but just a little one. Looking back at all the things I "planned" to get done after returning from Taiwan.. it seems I have done a large portion. I recently just finished the martialartscomplete.com website. I cleaned up the WushuKicks blog along with the main page (which by the way just got a pr4! yay!). I didn't do the full redesign I had in mind, but I was able to adjust 75% of the things that were bothering me. I reached out to sponsor athletes that will endorse our products and got bank accounts and finances set up with partners.
My Goals before going to Asia are:
Fully have set up 3 more websites.
Clean up https on cart page.
Get product pictures and sponsor pictures uploaded.
Meet up with 3 distributors.
I got a lot to do before my trip and I really hope I get everything squared away before I go. Alrighty, back to work!
So I flew over Santa Monica yesterday in an SR20 plane. It was an awesome experience as I pulled the controls and pushed the throttle which lifted us off the ground to a gradual ascent. I climbed higher and higher white I released on the power. As we headed towards the ocean, I banked right and banked left guiding the plane as I trailed the coast of the beach. Then I flew to the right of the mountains to bring us into the path of the airport landing strip.
On Thursday I went to check out an SR20 and talk to some flight instructors regarding pilot lessons. It ended up being busy that day and pretty windy as well so I ended up coming back the following Monday (yesterday) to take my first flight lessons. It was pretty exciting learning the whole process of how easy it is to lift off the ground just by picking up a little speed and getting a little lift in the wings. I learned about taxi-ing, banking, the controls, and how to keep the plane level and all that.
In part I took flying lessons for my own education and also in part to get over my anxiety of turbulence. I fly all the time for various tournaments or events and understanding the plane helps me feel more comfortable with what's going on behind the pilot seats.
Anyways, that was a highlight of my week.. but I've been doing other things as well.
I went to the griffith observatory and got to look at the moon close up with my own eyes (well with the help of a telescope). They also had a bunch of interesting space facts and exhibits inside. I love thinking about space and the universe because it makes us realize that there is more out there and that little insignificant annoyances shouldn't matter when compared to how vast world/space/universe is. There's all these interesting things out there that I won't really go into.. but they touched on things like dark matter, the expansions of the universe, solar systems which make up galaxies and that we once thought our galaxy was immense until we discovered we were merely a galaxy among millions of other galaxies.
I also got more super powers from this meteor.
That was an actual meteor. It was pretty heavy for its size.
Here's the view from the griffith observatory looking out at LA.
Back on land…. that same day I also test drove an Audi TT because I think they look cool.
and now… to business.
Workwise I spent the past week cleaning up and improving the ecommerce. I added extra layers of security such as SSL security, moved the site to a dedicated IP, added an authorize.net safety seal, cleaned up the logo, modified the CSS so that fonts were easier to read and the footer looked more professional.
I also went to visit my friend marc and richi's office where they work on online business as well. They had this cool photo booth device that helped me take some awesome product pictures. Here is one of the many pictures I took with my SLR camera.
I also put together some more pictures that I've been meaning to get up. You might recognize this guy.. he's a China National Wushu Champion and World Wushu Champion many times over.
If you know wushu you know who he is. If you don't you really should. He is Zhao Qingjian – gold medalist in changquan, broadsword, and staff.
I will leave you with this ultimate ZQJ compilation video.
Aakhari Decision released in India is about a hitman that grew up loyal to his boss until one day he is forced to make a decision between a woman that has entered his life and his loyalty as a hitman.
In this movie I had a small role in acting, stunts, and fight choreography. It was my first time having my face go through stunt glass so I had a good time. The movie was filmed in both the US and India.
Here's an interview that goes into some of the action that I was involved in:
I also had a few lines in the movie which you can see if you fast forward to the 3:00 minute mark.
If you are in India head out to theaters to check out Aakhari Decision. =)
I performed a longfist and straightsword/drunken sword combo for a demo a month or two back for LAFA's Annual Food Fight benefiting the Los Angeles Food Bank . The event was to raise food for those less privileged.
Here are the videos of our wushu demo portion:
Part 1 has some longfist / changquan performance.
Part 2 has some straight sword and drunken sword.
Had a great time and met some Sword Fight Inc buddies from the History Channel Art of War episode. I am up north in nor cal this week. Last night I randomly found out I am in a Bollywood movie! I'll fill yall in on that on my next post.
Also.. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!
Met up with Steve, my kpmg/city national bank co-worker's husband who rides a Ducati 999 and R1 . We went to Azusa for some canyon riding! Woot! Had a blast and learned a lot. Ever since I've been traveling and getting my hustle on with filming and martial arts competitions, I've really neglected my baby (my R6 ) and today it was good getting my feet wet with riding the canyons. Hopefully, in a few months I will hit up the track. I'll also have to save up to get one piece suit and some nice riding boots. I think boots are a must have.
Anyways, today was awesome and I came home exhausted. We rode for about 3-4 hours.. well including my travel time too. I gotta remember to look through my turns , shift my body over the line to the direction I want to turn, put my foot on the pegs and dont worry about the rear break so much, push down on left peg and right handle bar to make a tighter right turn (vice versa for other side), relax my arms, follow a smooth line, speed up through the turn , and accelerate out at the peak of the turn. I know some of this stuff is basic sounding, but it's good to remind myself.
Afterward we went to a cool cafe for some coffee/food. I had a salad with chicken, apple, and mandarin oranges. Delicious! And since.. we lived to ride another day.. I treated myself to a root beer float ! Steve is a fireman so he sees a lot of mortality and so we had a good discussion about perspective on life and death. I also commented that in cultures where your "job" does NOT define you.. and you wake up every day knowing the answer to "what do I wake up for every day?" as opposed to thinking that your being is tied to your job.. you will live a happier and healthier life… because ultimately we retire or no longer can work our jobs.. then those people sort of lose a sense of self and without a purpose we lose a part of our will to live.
Anyways, I think it's healthy to be put in perspective with our mortality once in a while so I enjoyed that root beer float heartily!
Here's me saying.. remember to keep the rubber side down! See you next time!
Here we go – Apathetic Heart is a song I wrote while I was in Taiwan. I finally had a chance to put it together and record a quick video. The inspiration behind the song came simply from the fact that my room in Taiwan had no windows so I would never know if it was day or night.. even when it was bright and sunny outside, it was dark and cold inside so it put me in a mood and I thought I would translate that feeling into a song. I was also partially inspired by Kanye West's song Heartless and I really liked Jay-Z's Song Cry beat, so I chose to go with the Song Cry instrumental.
Check it! (ps. I am not emo!)
———————–Apathetic Heart Lyrics——————————————-
thinkin back to a day (when i) had a girl id call my own
eager to hear my babe, stay up talkin on the phone
before colors turned gray and my heart faded to stone
i love a lot but i still feel like im alone
it wasnt my intention, to make you a mess and
dry your eyes come close and, we'll relieve that tension
lot of bad guys and you ask me why,
fuckit, ill let the song cry
reminisce a time when i was so poetic
fast forward the rhyme my heart went apathetic
a simple chick how my heart became sick
this rhymes got me so nostalic
now its so easy, i have so many to please me
touch me, squeeze me, say love me dont leave me
warm body firm embrace, but even while i hold
a numbness in mind thinks my hearts grown cold
had a lot of girls, good girls, hood girls,
rub me in the sweet spot, wanna buy me a rock girls,
every ethnicity i could go down the list,
but in the end, i know im still heartless
sorry women my love has come and gone
except for the one, i've written this song
wondering how long, this facade can go on
asking myself if time would right my wrongs
dui bu qi, wo de xin yi jing mi lu
wo bu neng gei ni xin fu, wo de xing yi pian muo hu,
bi jing ni hui muo shu, ye bu hui you bang zhu,
wo bu hui fu chu, baby bu yao zai ku
wo bu yao shang dao ni, wo ye bu yao xiang dao ni,
mei shen me yi, wo zhi chong lai mei you ni
bu guan ni duo xiong, wo de xin hai shi yi pian kong
wo zhi dao ni tong, jiu rang wo liu zai ni de meng
reminisce a time when i was so poetic
please repeat this rhyme if your hearts felt apathetic
like a lock and key, but something wouldn't click
this rhymes got me so nostalic
(and) it wasnt my intention, to make you a mess and
dry your eyes come close, i guess we've learned our lesson
lot of bad guys and you ask me why,
fuckit, ill let the song cry
Session data
Hey guys, I've still been a little sick. Here is a quick update.
Martial Arts/Stunts
Haven't been training much because I was sick the past week or so. I'm in a recovering mode and just got the sniffles. Hopefully it will be completely gone by the end of the week.
I helped coach at LA wushu today and I've still been staying active training my private lessons. Also got a new student starting next week so we will see how that goes. This sets me in line with my goal of having a max of 3-5 private lessons. I really enjoy teaching, but keeping it one on one – this way I really get to see someone's skills develop and provide them direct attention and custom training. Meanwhile, it keeps me active without turning martial arts training into a full-time thing that prevents me from focusing on other areas of my life.
Sam called me the past week and mentioned helping her out on a crouching tiger hidden dragon fight set for 8711, but the scene required 2 girls instead of a guy so it fell through. However, I'm sure some other cool opportunities will arise. =)
Finished shooting pick up scenes for Barry Baz ( www.barrybaz.com). There's nothing really on the site yet, so don't get too excited. However, I am quite excited because it's been about 6 months since I finished shooting the main stuff with them and they've been editing (with the editors from the same studio that edited the Bourne series) and cleaning it up so that it's a masterpiece. It's about an Australian that comes to America. He meets me and I am an award winning film maker of sorts.. but I can't say much more… so let's just say it's a comedy and a whole lot more. Should be done within a month. I'll post more details when it's done.
Tons going on over here. Continued working on wk mock ups. Created 2 versions that I like right now.. just trying to decide on a layout. Also got the martial arts complete site in progress. The layout is good just need to get the content up there and adjust the color scheme. I filed for the dba and am still waiting on the paper work.
Corporation's taxes are due March 15, so I started cleaning up my finances. Feels good to really sit down and see everything from a numbers perspective and then watch how it's grown over the years. I know this is something that I should actually be looking at quite often, but as a start up you worry about a million things and hardly want to deal with the number crunching. Anyways, it's looking good for 09.. now just to stay on top of things for '10.
Major thing going on is that the front porch is finally getting remodeled and getting tile put in because the old material was starting to crack from the rain. Should be done by Sunday.
Also started doing a few fun raps/freestyles/covers if you hadn't noticed on my previous posts.
Casual is Cool has our official youtube page which can be checked out at http://www.youtube.com/user/casualiscoolyo ( SUBSCRIBE if you are cool)
This is what happens when you don't have to go in to an office every day.
This is my first recorded freestyle. In other words I just made up whatever came to mind. I think I can do better, but whatever.. it was fun and random. I was also sick this week so couldn't go out and work out much. At least I let loose on my musical side.

I've got several relatively new computers running different monitors for daily graphic-intensive work. I also have an old pentium 4 single core with 3 gig RAM hooked up to a 21 inch Acer for stuff like this and web surfing..... and that's the setup I'm suddenly having problems with.
When I first boot up this machine, the Acer and boot graphics are perfectly legible on the monitor, but when windows starts up, all the fonts and graphics open up and stay wavy. However after I shut it down and reboot it's all fine. I'm assuming it's not the power supply (surge protector) since the Acer greeting and boot info is as usual - so that it's probably the integrated graphics processor that's at issue
So my question to anyone who knows more about this stuff (which would be just about everyone except my GF), does it sound like the integrated ATI Ratheon Express 200 processor, and if so, is it worth putting in a dedicated graphics card (if yes, what should I be looking for that's compatible with the processor based on the integrated card?) vs just going out and grabbing a new desktop?
TIA for any help (and any MM vote for Vaark would be appreciated).

Grand Ole Opry member Trace Adkins' new album, Proud To Be Here, is due for an August 2 release on Show Dog-Universal Music.
"Proud To Be Here was chosen as the album title some weeks ago because it's how I've felt ever since my first album release and during every milestone since," said Adkins, pleased to have something pleasant to talk about, as his Brentwood home burned to the ground on Saturday, June 4.
"The title song could have been based on my life and it's about narrow escapes and the grace that guides you through. Obviously, now after the fire, Proud To Be Here takes on an even greater significance. Once again, I've been blessed and everyone is safe. I don't even want to think what could've been had it started at 3 a.m. instead of 3 p.m."
Adkins recorded the 10-track album this spring with producers Kenny Beard and Mark Wright.

Where in LA can I find a relaxed neighborhood where I don't have to drive too much?
It's tough to live in LA without a car, but if you want an area where you can forget about your car for the weekend, try an apartment near the beach in Santa Monica or Venice Beach. Stow a beach cruiser bike in your apartment and you can go all weekend without getting in a car, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shopping nearby.
I'm a college student moving into the Westwood area, where is the local nightlife?
Living in the Westwood neighborhood in Los Angeles as a college student is a guaranteed good time out. With UCLA, USC and SMC within driving distance of your apartment, college frat, sorority and sporting events are definitely in your future. If these things do not appeal to you, take a stab at Jerry's Famous Deli for late night eats with the stars, Ohara's where everyone will know your name or the Hollywood bowl for some of the best concerts in SoCal.
Where can I find a nice two bedroom apartment for low rent in Los Angeles?
You can find the perfect Los Angeles apartment by using the filters on the search page to set the number of bedrooms and maximum rent. You can also search apartments by neighborhood by entering the neighborhood in the search box. Happy apartment hunting!
where is in LA can I find a relaxed neighborhood and near of nightlife locals?
While it is hard to define "local nightlife" in a city and county as large as Los Angles, my recommendation is based on locality that highlights the best attributes of L.A…The weather of course. Griffith Park/Los Feliz has the perfect mixture of karaoke, dive, lounges, and sports bars that are tailored within easy walking distance to the residence that reside there.
Is there any eco friendly rentals?
Eco friendly apartments in Los Angeles is a difficult standard by which to judge and you'd have to check with apartments individually to find out what kind of gray water or green roof types of features that their buildings incorporate.
What would an ideal weekend be like in Los Angeles?
With so much to do in Los Angeles, it's hard to pin down an ideal weekend. Outdoor lovers can begin their weekend with a trip to the sprawling Griffith Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world, and then head to the Venice Beach Boardwalk for some excellent shopping and dining. After some people watching on the boardwalk, head to one of LA's many museums, like the Natural History Museum, the J. Paul Getty Museum, or Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Top off your perfect Los Angeles weekend with a relaxing trip to the San Antonio Winery.
Does Los Angeles have a downtown area where a lot of people walk around?
The area that is known as Downtown LA is the central business district of Los Angeles. However, it is also home to the city's Grand Avenue cultural corridor. Although the neighborhood had deteriorated somewhat after the advent of the automobile and freeways, the area has turned itself around drastically in recent years, in part due to new buildings, bars, hotels, shops, and restaurants sprouting up across the neighborhood. Located in Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, of course, is one of the most famous--albeit expensive--shopping destinations in the world.
Are there museums in Los Angeles or nearby?
Yes. In fact, Los Angeles has more museums per capita than any other city in the world. Some of the city's art museums are among the most notable. These include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Center, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. In addition, Gallery Row is home to a plethora of art galleries, which draws thousands during the monthly Downtown Art Walk. Other museums include the California Science Center, the Museum of Neon Art, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and the Hollywood Wax Museum.
Are there local sporting events in Los Angeles?
Yes, there are quite a few local sporting events in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is home to several professional sports teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball, the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League, the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, and the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association. For Major League Soccer, the Los Angeles Galaxy and Club Deportivo Chivas USA are based in nearby Carson, California. In addition, the week-long US Open of Surfing takes place every summer in nearby Huntington Beach, California.
any eco friendly apartments?
That's a great question, but we have no good way to really search for that mainly because we haven't found many apartments who describe themselves or advertise themselves as being eco friendly or green. We have many articles on our blog about living green in an apartment, but we'd recommend looking at apartments that allow you to walk or bike rather than drive and have recycling and composting programs. You can inquire further to see if buildings have grey water systems or a green roof or use eco friendly paint, carpet, etc.

I can see why some would grumble. I'm kind of between both groups. For me, the previous season was perfection, and this one is a bit rockier. I don't see it as "caving" to corporate pressures, but it does wade into storylines I'm not particularly fond of (Entertainment 720 being the big culprit here, though the Chris/Jerry/Millie one is getting there), but there is still so much delightful stuff in this season that I feel a little churlish complaining.
It has been interesting gaging reactions to this season of Parks & Rec. There seems to be dual ideas competing with each other out there. I see people are think this season is continued greatness, and I see another faction that is crying out about how terrible this season is and how out of character everyone is being and that the show jumped the shark and caved to corporate pressures to be more palatable to the masses. Which I find odd, as I don't think P&R had nearly such a challenge in that arena as, say, a show like Community.
Posted 05 November 2011 - 08:00 AM
Really, we've had two episodes in a row now that were perfect Parks and Rec, combining hilarity with sweetness and sincerity. Those episodes, combined with the uproarious Ron/Tammy/Tammy episode, are enough to make me think this season is a winner, if an imperfect one, thus far.

Leslie and Ben going completely ballistic during the Model UN-- all while remaining true to their characters, mind you-- and then Leslie's coalition with the moon... genius.
Anne and Chris's storyline was maybe the funniest Rashida Jones has ever gotten to be, and, like last week, it pulled Chris back from the brink of cartooniness.
Ron walking very fast is always funny.
And Andy trying to buy up all the world's lions... well, gosh.
Posted 11 November 2011 - 06:20 PM
It was pretty funny, but, AFAIC, the "Snake Juice" episode still reigns supreme.
Last night's episode may have been the funniest ever.

The worst episode of the season? Wow. Well, I loved tonight's episode, and thought it was stronger than the last few.
The "Andy goes to college" plot was annoying (though I think pretty much everything with him is these days), the Tom/Jerry thing didn't do much for me, and while the dragging out the park concept was a nice reversal of the first season's arc, I didn't really like the execution for some reason.
Also, why is Anne still on the show?
Posted 17 November 2011 - 10:44 PM
She's very extraneous, but I suppose they want Leslie to have a genuine gal pal.

As for Anne, I love the character and the actress; the problem is just that they haven't given her much to do this season, I think, but I agree that she's important as a sounding board for Leslie, and also loved her post-mortem of her Chris relationship (last week's episode) and her palling around with handyman Ron in the Halloween episode.

The last two episodes of the season before the break were stellar. Chris suddenly became a wonderful character once again, and the Leslie/Ben romance went somewhere wonderful.
The Ben/Leslie romance has become my favorite sitcom romance of all time, I think.

Ana takes on world No.95 Melinda Czink in the first round of the Australian Open on Monday. It will be the fifth meeting between the pair, with Ana leading the head-to-head series 3-1.
Ana boasts the ultra-rare distinction of having defeated Czink twice in the same tournament: as a 16-year-old Ana defeated the Hungarian in qualifying for the 2005 Canberra event; Czink entered the main draw as a Lucky Loser and Ana beat her in three sets in the final, to clinch her first ever WTA title.
The pair next met at Wimbledon in 2007 - the year Ana reached the semi-finals - where Ana triumphed 6-0, 7-6 in the first round.
In their most recent meeting, in Cincinnati in 2009, Czink prevailed 7-6, 7-5.
30-year-old Czink arrives in Melbourne on the back of a six-match losing streak, which was impacted by injury at the tail-end of last season. In her last outing Czink lost 6-2, 6-2 to Madison Keys in the first round of qualifying for this week's Apia International in Sydney.
13th seed Ana has a 3-1 win-loss record in 2013, having won her opening three matches at the Hyundai Hopman Cup, before losing in three sets to Anabel Medina Garrigues in the final.
The match is scheduled as the second of the night session and is expected to begin sometime after 9pm local time (11am Central European Time; 5am Eastern Time). Click here for live point-by-point scoring from Melbourne Park.

Looking to make an eco statement in your entry closet? Why not try these super-chic clothes and coat hangers made out of recycled chair backs. Designed by Antonello Fusè, the Abitudini series of recycled chair hangers, takes playful old chairs and transforms them into sturdy hangers that look so good that you'll hate to close your closet door.
Antonello Fusè takes old chairs, cuts them down to size, and then inserts a metal hook — voilá, you have a hangar. These would be perfect for heavier articles of clothes like coats, and the hangar with horizontal bars would be good for pants or scarves.
The hangars are currently on sale at Resign for 10€ to 15€ each, and if you're interested simply email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how to buy. If you're really crafty though, you'll be hitting the garage sales this weekend for old chairs that would serve a splendid new life as a hangar.

hmmm, interesting concept, i'll give it that, but besides wondering about the left over scraps, these will just mis-shapen all your clothes, and you'll now be stuck steaming or ironing them. not to mention how much heavy & wider they are than regular hangers, and take up way more space. collectively a bunch of them would also weight down a clothes pole of any sort, shy of a steel or copper pipe or something. totally impractical.
July 29, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I think they are great! Agreed – on the antique chairs can be gorgeous in their own right, but there are a lot of not so great not antique chairs that seem to have been made into some fab coat hangers! Great idea.
July 29, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Is it really that 'eco' ? What happens to the rest of the chair? Understandable if the chair-back is the only remaining functional part. Otherwise it's a bit of a sharkfin soup

What a wonderful way to destory perfectly good antique chairs…

Can I use mirror lockup for long exposures on the Nikon D80? The option appears to be in the menu, I can't seem to enable it.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Photography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The D80 has an Exposure Delay mode, which basically adds a 0.4 seconds delay after opening the mirror, then automatically starts the exposure. So it's not a manual step, but just an automatic mirror lockup. From a quick Google I think it's custom menu open 31.
No you can't. It is only for cleaning the sensor.
If you want to do long exposure shot, you can select the manual mode and roll the rear wheel in 'bulb mode' (after 30").

Available as an option, this cruise control function regulates your speed according to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front. A radar sensor monitors the road ahead up to a distance of 200 m. If you have set a cruising speed but have begun to gain on the vehicle in front because it is driving more slowly, this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed of your vehicle at a maximum rate of 3.5 m/sec2 by restricting the throttle or by applying the brakes appropriate to the prevailing situation until the distance that you have preset is maintained. Your vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates further, adaptive cruise control will continue to reduce your cruising speed – even down to a halt.
For additional safety, if the system detects that the distance from the vehicle in front is decreasing, it will also prepare your vehicle for braking by precharging the braking system so that the brake pads are already in light contact with the brake discs. However, drivers still have to perform heavier braking themselves. As soon as the road ahead clears again, your vehicle will accelerate back up to the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual warnings. In addition, the system briefly jerks the brakes and if necessary initiates target braking, with any braking pressure applied by the driver being increased within certain system limits.

So so so super good. Always hot and fresh as take out! We've never eaten it there only as take out. We especially love the potstickers and the eggrolls. My husband loves the General Tso's and I, the Orange Chicken. My one complaint is that the spicy isn't real hot, and last order we asked for extra hot and it was just smidge hotter. Love this place! Go try it out!!!

On November 14, 1974, police received a frantic phone call that led them to a nightmarish crime scene at the Defeo residence in Amityville, Long Island – an entire family had been slaughtered in their beds. In the days that followed, Ronald Defeo confessed to methodically shooting his parents and four siblings while they slept, claiming "voices" in the house drove him to commit the grisly murders. One year later, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house thinking it would be their dream home. But shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events began to occur to the family as George was plagued by nightmarish visions and haunting voices from the evil presence still lurking within the residence.
28 days after moving in, the Lutzes abandoned the home – lucky to escape with their lives. Now 30 years after the shocking real-life events that inspired one of the most popular horror stories of all time, revisit the house that started it all: The Amityville Horror.
The cast includes Jimmy Bennett, Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Philip Baker Hall, Chloe Moretz, Jesse James and Rachel Nichols.

If you move to Adobe suite, make sure you get the Adobe
and not the Soundbooth.
(Soundbooth was included in the suite and very limited while Audition, a proper professional audio software, was sold apart).
Now it seems that you get Audition back in the suite production premium CS6, good news! because lots of sound artists had complained.

I think your doing it the hard way.
Have you tried color and the presets like scones, and the color and fx presets in primary, secondary and fx sections?
I have some clips processing now and will add them to this post, once they're cleared.
Once again I dig the enthusiasm, and I somewhat like resolve but most people should keep in mind to get good, really good as they are in photoshop or as good as the coloring on a hollywood A movie takes a minimum of 6 years.
For good, pleasing color it takes less time, but it's still not the most intuitive software and as you say requires fast graphic cards and if your working RED raw a Rocket card.
The reason I mention Apple color is it does about 98% of what resolve does and the learning curve is easier, the presets and very workable, of course on some older machines it runs slower, but if you can find a week in todays, cell phone, e-mail, voice mail, test message world, you can learn it enough to present something quite stunning.
It's just 2k but so far Resolve only works 2k anyway (in output).
I'd rather forego raw on most projects for time/speed sake. My test of the Sony FS 100 against my RED's lead me to believe I was only picking up about 10% more lattitude once we began grading and the Sony's are light weight and faster.
I think there is an impression here that to shoot professionally you need $50,000 in camera body, $15,000 in computer, $14,000 in drives and graphics cards with another $40,000 in lenses, plus all the other camera grip like support, cages, monitors, gizmos, wires, sound etc. which can easily hit 20 k.
It's really not true.
For the price of a fs camera (either the 2k or 4k) a few zeiss zooms, a good set of sticks, some led's, apple color (which is free with final cut pro 7), you can shoot, edit and finish a piece with equipment that is a/1/00th of the cost only 5 years ago.
Personally, I've really enjoyed the Sony, especially with the Zeiss glass. I've learned to grade it to look like film, it turns on it 4 seconds, uses about 1/10 of the drive space and works in everything I've thrown at it, from London Rain, to Thailand heat.
I think two of those and you could shoot anything on the planet. Banding ? Uh maybe, but you gotta go pretty nuts to see it and there are fixes. Coloring, once again apple color is free, and free is kind of a cool concept when it comes to digital cinema cameras.
Once again, I'll post some still clips of Apple color grading for all to see. I think You'll be surprised.
Re: Capture One !
Reply #22 on:
May 08, 2012, 04:23:48 AM »
Well, yes there are some "fixes" for the Banding.
We can combine a dithering mask (bezier or chroma) combined with denoiser layer(s), or even more drastically but more costly, doing a frame by frame intervention.
But it's time consuming when it happens and honestly, the less post intervention, the better.
The Morgan's C1 is indeed a BDSM idea although it's understandable why it looked so interesting. But no, it makes sense only if the image sequence is ingested in PS to get all the capability of the big artillery and being able to do things impossible in editor but in a raw dev software it's really looking for hassles for free when all that can be done way faster in any modern editor.
About Apple Color, I don't really understand why people would complain about it. It's a very good software and it's powerfull, and you call it from the editor wich is a strong point too.
In fact, all those specialized suites haven't reinvented the wheel. The tools we have to color grade are basically the same for all, no miracle nor mystery. Then it's all about usability, implementation etc...
I remember that after spending awhile evaluating Scratch, that I was enthousistic at first, abandoned in the end the idea of putting 17.000 euros on the table because it didn't really give me
more power than what we find in a good editor, just that it was more comfortable.
I haven't opened my Autodesk software for months, same story, the grading tools are doing exactly the same than Edius or Avid or an Apple Color with the only difference that it has a physical film capability, wich I couldn't care less, it's none of my business.
Yes, it's got this fancy color 3D cube, (not easy to master at first) etc...but they don't do anything more, just differently.
If I pay extra money to what I have already, it's to get something more, not something differently. (and we could enter in the debate that sometimes differently can be more...but in the end more is more and diffently is differently)
All those, Autodesk, Assimilate, Nucoda etc...are costly and not easy to learn and to be good at it when you got an intuitive Apple Color that work just about the same and mastering it wouldn't take so much practise.
I agree that it's possible to build a really good motion workflow from prod to post-prod without billionaire budgets. Absolutly.
I think that the move to Adobe's Production suite is a clever one. It's more than possible that it will become the PS of motion, I mean by that a standart in the industry.
And the Speed Grade to color correct has a very good reputation. (never used it).
I'll evaluate Lightworks but probably also going to move to Adobe at one point.
Ps: I've forgot to mention about the 8bits banding: for the ones who have the 8bits AVCHD/H.264, the Rarevision's 5DtoRBG convertion to Prores reduce the banding impact.
It's a very good converter:

Great look and filmic (as expected from the R+R studios).
So those are R1 only if I understand. Did you find issues to emulate similar grade with the Sony files when mixing footage Red-Sony ?

I opened Color up once and was totally confounded, hated it. I'm pretty comfortable with Resolve now and spent the morning working on the latest short. Did tons of power windows, which it can track beautifully and all working from the Raw R3D's. No transcode downtime, realtime performance, just flawless. And resolve will actually output any rez you setup. We did a teaser of the new film that I output from Resolve at 4k, projected at RED Studios (in 4k) and it was just gorgeous.
There's no reason to limit your projects to HD... all the technology is in place to take advantage of the highest resolution footage available... and I'm doing this shit out of my house, not some multi-million-dollar post facility. Ok, maybe I have more capital than the average Indie filmmaker, but it just goes to show... we have freakin phenomenal tools at our disposal nowadays. There's no excuse for making crap work anymore.

The only two groups I hear are pushing 4k are RED and Sony.
Sony because they're going to make a 4k screen and their TV set sales are in the dumper.
Red because . . . well they make 4k cameras.
It took broadcast nearly a decade to adopt high def, to go super high def, especially as the world is moving to a world of streaming convergence makes me wonder if we'll ever see 4k on a TV or computer screen. In theatres I'm sure Peter Jackson or James Cameron will, but that's a different animal. What they spend on 2 days of pre production is most independent productions full budget.
I'm not against it, but I do work for commerce which means most of what I show was paid for and 90% of the motion we've shot in the last year I haven't shown on our site but the day somebody says they need 4k on screen we'll be ready.
Our editor is not over the moon about cutting to 4k, personally I don't care because even well shot 2k is as much as any real world client is asking of us.
As far a Resolve, it's ok, somewhat goofy (they all are) but so is Apple Color. It makes no difference to me what anyone uses, in fact I would imagine the new CS6 with it's speed grade or some other grading tool will probably become more of a standard than anything else in the market.
Adobe has a longer reach, more client base and we all know it takes the enthusiasts and smaller players to fund the higher end.
The only reason I mention Apple color is the preset scones are a great starting point and it's free.
I'm under no misconceptions that Apple Color will go no further, but I like the interface better than Di-Vinci and for many independents it hits the magic software costs . . . free.
As I keep saying, shooting motion is the black hole in time and money and I try to get across that to shoot something worthwhile and unless your a card carrying RED Userista who goes to bed at night and whisper "way to go Jim", you don't have to spend $250,000 in camera equipment.
I don't know if these images would match the Sony or not, I don't even find the RED 1 and Scarlet to match out of the can and motion is so much different than stills because we shoot so many more angles.
The difficulty isn't matching them exactly, it's matching them so they fit the mood of the scene, though you know that.
When the Sony is shot dead on, it's very close to the RED footage as far as moving it around in post, when it's over exposed it's impossible to work where with RED it's easy if your over . . . so with the sony you never, ever shoot over, because even if you can pull it down you get a cast, especially in faces. You can fix it, but it takes a lot of time, so shoot it 1/2 dark and life is good.
Really, like still cameras you have to test them in what you do. With care and thought and a little pre planning on layering images on difficult exposure changes you can make any of these cameras work. The Sony is the easiest, the new one with ND's will be even easier though the jury is still out on the raw file.
The Scarlet, I kind of have buyers remorse and would feel a lot better about the camera if the interface was simplier and it accepted Nikon Mount lenses. As far as reliable autofocus I don't think we'll ever see that on the Scarlet. It's just too far off at the moment. The cost of the Scarlet is fine, some of the implementation like a glossy screen is crazy in real world use.
It depends on what you do, how your going to do it and how much time you have to light properly.
I have to add that In reality I'm enormously happy with my R-1's and if they would shed a few points and offer some kind of image stabilization, I'd be over the moon.
Still, when the budget is higher and your willing to work a little slower the R-1's are much easier to set up, the file is to me very, very pretty and (where's that piece of wood to knock on), I find that very reliable.
I'm working very hard to change the way we shoot motion. I'm bored with the establishing shot, the reverses, the medium shot, the tight, the reverse tight, etc.
Heavy and complicated cameras can force you into heavy and complicated production and just like stills, when you lock it down, say hold it, let me ____ and _____ and_____,
ok now we're ready, the humanity gets washed off the project.
I'm not a documentary photographer or filmaker, but I love the look, expecially in motion.
As you mentioned my favorite piece is this, and I did it mostly with still cameras. i wish I'd had the sony at the time because it would have been a lot better result.

I dont know if 4/6/10k are really needed for 'cinema' but in a way it seems more relevent to commercial stills/vid people
For example if you are making something that can air at 16.9 but you need an upright centre crop of the same shot for a display or bank of displays in a store then I guess he resolution becomes your friend..

I've learned something about this biz, especially in the last few years.
I'm all for giving more, offering more than the next guy and trying to have an edge, but handing out stills from a video camera, or video from a still camera, or even future proof 6k video to a client, probably isn't going to make you any more money.
I'm not saying to dumb it down, but let's be real. We make potato chips (crisps in your neck of the woods) and giving about a 10 oz. back for the cost of a 5 oz. bag doesn't add to the bottom line.
Since we've worked together, you saw that hired a still photographer to mimic our motion imagery but with the style of stills. That worked great, we kept them fairly separate and the client had to buy two 10 oz. bags of chips, instead of one.

Magic man is my fav too.
I've said it many times in this forum.
I'm not sure it would have been a lot better with the Sony.
This video is spot-on in every aspects and I've watched it several times, never asked myself any questions on the how and the with-what.
That's, IMO, the sign it's working. When we start to "see" the gear viewing a video, bad sign.
This is a perfectly acheived motion peice as it.
The Red would have definatly be a downside. Maybe even the Sony. It would have not work either with one of my hacked GH2 (thinking about a similar camera form) because
the bloody hacked GH2 is massively too detailled and can easily look surgycal and cold. Holy crap, it captures more details than a Sony F3 ! (prooven)
In the end, it's even possible that to get this, Magic man, you'd need exactly the set-up involved at that time and nothing would enhance it if you had the oportunity to reverse time and do the same with another camera.
This video is great as it.

Absolutely a way of getting it done.
Maybe I should have said this..
Those marketing 6/8/10k should be waving the 'upright screen in a store' argument rather than 'your cinema/tv needs this' argument
Hopefully I was one of the first to experiment with two cameras on one head which is another approach

If you move to Adobe suite, make sure you get the Adobe
and not the Soundbooth.
(Soundbooth was included in the suite and very limited while Audition, a proper professional audio software, was sold apart).
Now it seems that you get Audition back in the suite production premium CS6, good news! because lots of sound artists had complained.
The buster of moving to Premier from FCP 7 is in premier 5.5, using xml to move a complete edit is just not stable, or better put doesn't really work.
You constantly get error codes and we don't have time for that so we move back to fcp.
Talk to most FCP editors and they're slow to give up on FCP 7, none will move to X and a few that are familiar with avid have gone that route. There is more acceptance of Premier and adobe has a complete suite, but we have a hundred projects in FCP and if we can't move them seamlessly then we have to run two stations, two suites, two mindsets and that's just a lot for a small company.
Not to go off topic, but for the life of me, I don't have a clue what Apple was thinking when they moved to FCP X. Not in a world where they had 75% of the professional market.
All any FCP editor asked for was faster renderings, a better browser and multi format, including 4/5k capable ingestion of footage without shutting the system down to a crawl.
Had apple made these changes and upgraded color to a more friendly round trip, they could have easily asked a grand more for the system and it would have sold. Not I phone profit sales, but profitable sales none the less.
This is beating a dead horse, (literally), but it's a big change in a lot of peoples workflow and business model and honestly most freelance editors and just kind of stuck as to where to go next..
I have a series of 10 edits in house that we absolutely cannot do in FCP X, not without round tripping continually back to 7. But once again, moving to premier is not an easy task when you've got years of the original fcp.
Nobody wants to spend $15,000 on a new billion gigs of ram, 3 video card, fiber optic, HP system when they still have to sit next ot a FCP station to move things back and forth and in today's economy nobody wants to spend any money to replace something that works.
As far as coloring, I'll admit DiVinci is a better all around system than Apple color, but it'll cost you in time and money. Just a simple tangent board is $3,500 and if you shoot with RED you'll need a RED Rocket which tacks on a few thousand more.
The thing about coloring in Di Vinci is in a few weeks, or a month you can get to the point of producing pleasing color, but don't expect to pull out Lord of the Rings Hollywood color in 2 months because most colorists will tell you it takes 5 to 6 years to really master the system..
When it comes to really amazing color in Di-Vinci, I strongly suggest hiring a colorist.. Right now they are falling out of the trees because editors have been asked to make it look "acceptable" due to budget and time limitations.
Some colorists will only work in AE especially digital artists that work to finish with effects and titles, so though AE is a slower process, it does more than about any single product on the market.
Though lately we've been coloring in house, I'm inches away from contracting out with a colorists. When I first worked with him he was in a 4 story film/tape/digital transfer house working one of those di-vincis that cost a million and used up a room.
Then it went to 1 floor in a rented building to now he's freelance working on the desktop with a wave board.
That's the way the industry is going, just like editorial has gone from block long houses, to trailers that reside between sound stages for almost real time editing for episodic TV.
The thing is if your coming from a still photography world, with still photography clients, they're is a learning curve on both sides.
Just moving a clip and recoloring, transitioning and then transcoding for approval can be many hours, where in stills adding complete retouching and coloring on full high rez images can be a lot less time.
But that's another topic.

Yep, me too. At this point I am keeping my options open - working in FCP7, dabbling in PP and FCPX - and will likely only decide which way to go once Apple allows the MacPro workstation to die/fade away or, less likely IMO, re-vamps it to new processors and fully pro expandable box. If they do commit to pro video hardware, I will concentrate on FCPX. If they do not, then Premiere & a mega$$ PC.

What I find completly unproductive, and somewhere surreal in 2012, is the lack of an affordable all-in-one high-end software. Adobe is a suite, and a suite means softwares and learning curves.
AE is in the end an equivalent of Nuke differently implemented.
Now, not always we need a proper compositing software. Not always we need to ad smoke, particules and explosions. If we just want to grade, but with a truth advanced grading interface, the fact to have to leave the editor and enter another application in the time being, seems to me a complete absurdity because every manipulation is time consuming and prone to problems.
This sort of workflow is a reminicence of a time that is disappearing where zillion of people are involved in the chain but we still do not have what we should.
It's all very fine this Adobe suite, but it's a mess. One software for editing, one for compositing-grading, one for the sound etc...this is NOT integration and we're back in the same configuration as always: separation between tasks in a world that is going exactly the opposite way! The only real software that does that to some extend is Smoke...expensive, not intuitive at all.
So in the end,
The closest "direct" solutions I can think of are FCP7 with Apple color and Edius with native very good integrated colorists tools. But I wrote: the
And we don't even know today wich route will keep those 2 players, as Chris and James pointed.
The errors codes, in short, the tedius compatibility between platform is also a plague that needs to be fixed. No industry is accepting such a situation and this industry should watch maybe closely what they do in aeronautics when it comes to standarts, rules and compatibiliyty. Coot said many times it's the wild west, I think the wild west is short indeed, all that looks clooser to the wild Afganistan 5000 years ago.
I have some (limited) hope with lightworks, as open source if people are writing the codes, a little bit like the hacked GH2, we might get in the end what this industry refuses to give to us, "à la carte".
Nota: to me it remains a mystery, why Red, instead of cutting an orage in 1/2, is not bringing from RCX an all-in-one application with real editing capabilities, keeping the same photographic spirit for the grading and the capacity to work on layers like AE.
That would be indeed powerfull instead of a free raw dev software. I'd buy it for the price of an Avid editor or an Adobe's suite.
It would allow the Red, and non Red users to work to delivery without any more hassles. That woulkd be the fastest and more powerfull system on earth, from cameras to final product, all inside house. JJ should like this. But no...

Motion imagery, (I really hate the term video) is going through the same changes as still photographers.
Still photographers went from artists, lighting experts (gaffers) camera operators (they actually do run a camera) to processors, effects artists, retouchers and some areas of pre press of image prep.
Not by choice, but by budget. If there had been a monotised business model for labs, retouchers and a new field of effects artists been possible, photographers would have shot digital like film, hand it over and never look back. It was like that at the start of digital capture, but economic pressure compressed it down to the photographer in most cases.
Some still work this way where they shoot and leave, but most of those have gone by the wayside, unless they shoot retail for one large account that has in-house post produciton.
Now you see the same thing with motion. Who's the director, camera operator.? In entertainment it's usually multiple people, but in advertising, especially web video, the camera operator can be the director, sometimes part time producer, sometimes the gaffer.
Depends on budget and web video where most of what most of us shoot, is a strange one to price because it flies in the face on convention because there is no media buy. In other words traditional advertising like Television and Print Media there was x number of dollars spent on media, so a set percentage of that went into image production. That model still exists but it gets smaller and more compressed every day.
If the web ever finds a way to actually charge real media rates equal to print (preferably broadcast) you'll see the budgets rise.
No when it comes to editors, most independent filmmakers can edit to some extent, some better than others, but for long form or multiple projects a director/camera operator/dp cannot work on set and edit if they have a busy schedule.
Our studio took the risk to go in house with adding editorial. Every busy model is different.
Now to my original point. Everything has changed and editors that 6 years ago refused to color anything are now asked to be some kind of colorists and do some effects.
When you attend a seminar on any NLE, effects or coloring software the questions are always the same (so are the answers). First question, how many here do the editorial . . . 85% of the hands are raised. Second question, how many here use FCP 7 . . . (70% of hands are raised).
third, How many do their own coloring . . . 60% of hands are raised, fourth, how many do their coloring in the NLE and another 60% of hands are raised, how many in apple color 20% of hands are raised, how many do their own coloring in Di-Vinci . . . 4% of hands are raised how many color in AE, 15% of hands are raised.
So you'd think colorists would be swamped, but as I mentioned the color and transfer house I previously used 5 years ago was well funded, had a huge 4 story building, could show you real time coloring on line so you didn't have to sit in the booth, and we're full service all the way down to transcoding and conforming for tape, film, digital play, etc. They were also about $5,000 per 8 hour day.
Then they went to a suite of offices in a rented building, now their colorists are working at home calling for business.
So since every image video or still, usually needs some work (especially at the rate of speed we work on set), that means somebody is doing it and everyone does it differently. Some in the NLE, some in third party software, some just ship it to the client and wash their hands of the whole process.
The correct way to do it is to first edit the story, lock the edit and send an EDL or xml file or the master clips to a colorists, have them colored and effected properly, put back into the edit then transfer out to the desired media.
That's the correct way, but not how it really works today as everyone is squeezed to wear multiple hats. As the producer you usually work from a bottom line so you can choose to hire and use any number of specialists you want, the issue is if you do, is their a profit?
Back to your original question about RED upping their software to NLE, coloring and transcoding. I don't think that will ever happen and if I was RED I'd never do it. They're a camera maker and all Red CineX needs to do is produce the equivalent of One light dailies for client review and in some cases for editors to start working, because there are too many post production models to compete with. Some editors only work or care to work in 2k, some find that overkill, some want 4k/5k editing, coloring and output, some want it all.
Fred, what you want is standards and in digital if motion imagery follows stills there never will be exact standards until we get to final delivery. Try to run a Hasselblad file in C-1, or a Nikon file in Phocus. Only third party processors attempt to handle all files and really only adobe covers everything.
I think you want a moving lightroom and I probably think Adobe feels they have that covered in After Effects, the problem is lightroom is easy to learn, After Effects takes a long time.

Who adopted DNG in still? Pentax and Leica. All the rest went a personal path, for magic property reasons (officialy) and each time they release an update, nothing reads it until the softwares keep -up. It will probably be the same in motion as you point.
The very beautifull workflow of motion imagery:
If you want to send an edit from edius to Avid, from Avid to FCP, from FCP to Premiere, there is not just one time when there isn't an hassle at one point or another. Just opening the forums gives an instant idea of the complete desaster and lost of precious hours involved. Most of the time there are fixes, solutions, but it's always at the expense of spending long researches and testings. An incredible amount of time and efficiency lost just to fix silly problems that have nothing to do with the product it self but the tools.
It's completly ilarious (in fact no when in the middle) to read the high-end pros motion forums: "guys, I have this problem with this EDL, this other with those XMLs...please send me a fix...bla bla...", and not one answer is giving the same fix. I've never seen such a disorganized mess in any industry, past and future. Digital imagery is the emperor of the chaos.
Then the beautifull webs: Flash or not to Flash, who reads who, differences in navigators that eventually would or would not read this or that, unconsistence between Mac-Pc-Linux, differences in broadcast standarts according to the location when we are supposed to live in a globalized world, differences in fps, in voltage, in elec frequencies...bloody f.....g hell !!
Imagine you take a plane to go in one assignement in Paris. L.A to CDG.
Well, 30 minutes before the landing, the captain advice that it's impossible to land in Paris because... the procedure aren't the same, the lenguage isn't standart, the runway doesn't have the lengh required for a Boeing but only Airbus, so you'd land in Moscow first, then you'll transfer all your cases for a flight to Helsinsky but you'll travel in a different plane at a different time, from there a little plane to Lausane, a night in one of those horrible unpersonal airport's hotel, then another transfer in another plane to finally reach Paris 3 days later. Absurd isn't it? Well, that's exactly how motion imagery workflow works today. It makes think.
I beleive we are unfortunatly in this mess for quite some time. You're right, nothing will be fix. We are in deep mud (to be polite).
We need a visionary and rules-breaking person to save this absurd situation.
Because the supreme irony is, as you pointed, we need to be more efficient, and we never havd been obliged to spend so much time to do things the slow way that could be done 10 times faster if all that was a little bit more under control. There is a paradox there that I don't end to understand.

The basic mission is to grade a clip or sequence using Capture One.
Using FCP this is the basic workflow..
Export the bit you want to grade as Tiff image sequence
View that sequence in Capture One
First frame of a shot create a look using curves WB clicker desat
Copy that look to all frames in the shot
Move to next shot repeat
Export new (graded) tiffs from C1
Use QTime7 to creat movie from image sequence
Export that sequence as ProRezz
Import that clip into the FCP project and place it on the timeline where the original ungraded clip was.
Might be a dumb thing to do but seems that C1 offers fine control over the image through an interface I have been using for 5=10 years
(and that is the key point fine control over the look of the image using an interface that I know inside out - using software I own and works on my machine today)
I think its also 'non destructive'
While I get along OK with apple colour - it can get me in a tangle - when you have more than one track on the TL or maybe want to add another shot to the sequence after you graded or other boondangle non linear ways of editing..
For example Im working on a short and a long piece at the moment where some but not all of the short edit makes the long edit
I am interested in grading BMC dng's in C1 Pro and then exporting to FCPX for edit. One question; after grading the files and then processing the dng's, do you output as 300 dpi or 72 dpi? I would think 72dpi. I am going to export as jpgs and try to do something like the Prolost guy did here in Lightroom:

I can't say much about C1, but at this time Resolve is still a good workflow, since you'll need to roundtrip for final grading via XML or AAF. First light in Resolve, transcode proxies to whatever, edit and round-trip to Resolve for final grade and mastering.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you want to grade footage that might not make it in the final cut? And, are you planning to transcode again just to bring it back to C1 for final grading?
Regarding ppi, 300ppi will give you 8 inches horizontally, approximately the size of an iPad Retina (which is 264ppi). I wouldn't recommend anything lower than this.

The topic was fitting for the packed Perkins High School auditorium, where more than 200 people cheered on their side of a contentious levy debate with applause and praise.
Reductions approved Wednesday totaled about $2 million, a result of a failed May levy and state funding cuts, board members said.
Pay-to-participate fees for high school students increased to $730 per sport for the upcoming school year, up from $150 approved in April. Costs for dual enrollment classes, clubs and music activities also increased substantially for high school and middle school students.
"I don't approve of this, and I don't think you guys understand," a mother shouted from the back of the crowded auditorium. "I want my son's senior year to be a good one, not 'mom and dad couldn't pay for me to play my sports.'"
Board president Matt Koisor told parents no board members think the cuts are a good idea, however, they do recognize their necessity.
"Unfortunately we only have a certain amount of money to balance our budget," Koisor said. "None of these cuts are cuts we want to make."
Click here for related articles, video and photos.
If township voters approve the district's August levy, the reductions could be reversed and pay-to-participate fees will return to normal, superintendent Jim Gunner said. The district is proposing a 10-year, 6.73-mill levy, nearly 2 mills larger than its May proposal.
Before Wednesday's cuts, Perkins Schools was projecting a $2.3 million deficit for the upcoming school year, with a budget of about $21 million, according to its most recent five-year financial forecast. It was set to spend all its reserve cash by 2015.
In early April, board members approved two rounds of permanent cuts totaling $12 million for the next four years.
In addition to sports fees, several parents also voiced concerns Wednesday about cuts to music and art programming.
Conversation was calm, but tense, until parent Jason Dulaney commanded attention with an objective perspective. He criticized the board's ineffective communication strategies, but also reprimanded voters for going to the polls without proper knowledge of the issues.
An angry "no" vote doesn't punish board members or administrators — it only punishes students, said Dulaney, a levy supporter.
"I don't want you to vote 'yes' and I don't want you to vote 'no,'" he said. "I just want you to vote informed."
Levy committee members, many district parents, remained in the auditorium after the meeting to recruit supporters for their cause. They will kick off their campaign with a meeting 7 p.m. Monday in the Perkins High School cafeteria.
Township voters haven't approved an emergency operating levy for the district since 2000.
Perkins Schools cuts approved
•Furry Elementary School: 3 teachers (art, music, physical education)

Inland Empire
A blonde actress is preparing for her biggest role yet, but when she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realizes that her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film that they're shooting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the film is a remake of a doomed Polish production, "47," which was never finished due to an unspeakable tragedy. And, that's only the beginning. Soon, a seemingly endless onslaught of indescribably bizarre situations flashes across the screen: a sitcom featuring humans in bunny suits, a parallel story set in a wintry Poland, a houseful of dancing streetwalkers, screwdrivers in stomachs, menacing Polish carnies, and much, much more.

Re: Dragon's Dogma trailer
There's new video for Dragon's Dogma out. I think this is the first time I've ever seen a dragon with a rooster's head. maybe it's a griffin. Anyway, it's cool to watch none the less.
Dragon's Dogma from Capcom will be in general release by May 22, 2012.

Billboard Music Awards Recap
The Billboard Music Awards presented a spectacle last night that was entertaining in a pyrotechnic-carnival-sideshow kind of way. Some of the highlights (and lowlights) included singers not singing, and some not even making an effort to lip-synch. The event sometimes seemed more like a flash-over-substance burlesque show than a showcase for musical talent. Afterall, very […] [Read More]

A few months ago I read an article about being proud of your age.
I think I read it in the AARP Bulletin. It had pictures of physically fit, attractive, women wearing t-shirts that say "Own Your Age."
In a nutshell this is a movement against ageism -- as in the discrimination and negative stereotyping of people based on their age. These proud "older" people are promoting a message that says I'm happy about who I am at my age.
I find it interesting that in our culture, men with grey hair and crow's feet are viewed as sexy, sophisticated, and attractive.
Most women, however, will go to great expense to hide their grey and wrinkles because in American society grey hair and wrinkles are a detriment -- not an attribute for women.
Generally speaking, these characteristics on a woman peg her as someone who is "old" -- which is a word we have come to believe is negative. Rarely is a woman with grey hair and crow's feet perceived as sexy, sophisticated and attractive.
How did that ever come to be? What will it take for aging -- in a woman's world -- to become socially acceptable?
What do you do in your own life to make it socially acceptable to "Own Your Age?"
