Create Digital Motion - The Battle for Analog: VHS and the Evils of DVD

From CDM:


"We know a little bit of our soul died when we brought in all this digital tech to our work. (Happy side note, though: my eyes now glow red. It’s totally awesome at parties.) So, we now proudly present The Battle for Analog, a completely nonsensical look at the analog world we might leave behind. (Well, unless you carry some mobile VHS decks to a gig, which could be a great idea … a little magnetic distortion live, anyone?)"

Cute, but it sure is heavy on the, uhh.... digital effects.

Japanese Pixelvision cameras

From videothinger Bohus Blahut:

Just thought that you might be interested in the PXL-2000 article i just wrote. It's about the PXL's that were made in Japan in the late 90's.

I will be posting a video review of a modified PXL very soon. I'll let you know when it happens. Seems almost dumb to shoot a review of the PXL in HD.

Apple TV Take 2 released in the wild

The AwkwardTV folks are already at work hacking it. First word is that the OS is still 10.4.7, which means that old hacked plugins may still work.
