Limbering Up for the Big Time

9, Jun 2009

If ever they are in your town or city, make time to see them!  Phantom Limb played in Reeltime’s second city last Friday night.
Bristol Old Vic was full to capacity as the six piece outfit came on stage, to rapturous applause.  Why is Reeltime so interested in this band?  Well, besides the undisputed fact that [...]

Never Mind the Kit, Keep Bailing

14, May 2009

The 2009 National Association of Broadcasters’ (NAB) gig in Las Vegas seems to be attracting fewer and fewer visitors every year.  Registered attendees this year came to nearly 84 thousand.  It may sound a lot but read on.  In 2008, that figure stood at 105,250 and in 2007, 111,028 people registered to attend that year’s [...]

YouBBC?

23, Apr 2009

It looked like a normal news bulletin and it read like one but something was very different.
On Sunday 19th April 2009, an early evening BBC television news bulletin played a clip of the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, talking about the run-up to his second, and arguably his most important, budget.

Stills Cameras Kill the Video Stars

26, Oct 2008

You know when you expect one thing to occur and then the opposite happens?  A bit like bowling or fielding when Kevin Pietersen is batting.  The Hampshire batsman and former England captain is famed for looking like he’s going for a right hand batsman’s cover drive then switching his swing (reverse sweep), while the bowler [...]

AVID Cuts and Runs

26, Apr 2008

Back in the early days of non linear editing, there was a plethora of solutions from which to choose.  The one with the largest market share, the best known and the one regarded as being industry standard, was Avid Technology.  Even I snuggled up to their video division’s Media Composer.  If you were editing a [...]

P.o.A should not have to mean D.o.A

21, Jun 2007

Imagine driving along a stretch of autobahn or motorway in your Vorsprung durch Technik, or similar.  It’s smooth, quiet and efficient.  You feel assured.  You can get anywhere, anytime.  Safely.  Then, suddenly, your high speed cruise comes to an abrupt end as your über machine leaves the sure-footed, 100-million pound road and skids along a [...]
