Agree. Copyright covers a specific arrangement of words, or a specific image. An image that is similar to a copyrighted image is not a copyright violation.,
Well it could be considered a derivative work then it would be covered by copyright.
Or it could be in this one incident someone copied a Photograph and turned it into an corel draw illustration that looks almost exactly like the photograph. That was a copy right violation.
Hmm then you have Picasso who said, "Good artist borrow, Great artist steal."
No matter what it pretty lame for ARS to pursue this when they have a derivative work on the main page.
Wow, I guess working on feature films, music videos, spots, pilots, or anything else we do here in Hollyweird (well Santa Monica) all day every day I wouldn't know. As for it being called the KB effect I NEVER HEARD IT CALLED THAT before Steve Jobs. The pan and scan term has been adopted by as the generic term used when converting from one crop ration to another. If you had ever done a pan and scan you would know what I am talking about and not going to go over the actual process here. Leave it to say the Wiki definition is sorely lacking in the practical application of what a Pan and Scan is. Stop by the Lustre or Assimilator booths and ask them to show you what goes on when they are CREATING the pan and scan. Needless to day you will see A LOT of panning around the image and pushes into the frame depending on how the pan affects the shot and needs to be recomposed so that the smaller ratio better show or hides the re-crop and still makes as much sense as possible.
There is TECHIQUELLY NO difference between say the the way the cameras are used to create ANY hand animation and the KB effect. Back in the early days they when they needed to do a camera push on a hand drawn animation it would be drawn on an over-sized BG the camera whould then be pushed into the 2d scene to give the illusion of the camera moving into a 3d enviroment. The camera would then PAN around this over sized plate to create the illusion of a real life camera move. (because its a real waste of time to draw scaled figuers) Have you ever done REAL opticals? I am not going to explain optical effects here for 20 min I don't have time. So I will just end with this.
Uh it was not called the Ken Burns effect then. It was called a Pan and Scan. It is a Very commonly used technique that you never noticed before. It has been used in animation since, well since animation was created. If you asked the editor that did the effect for Ken Burns he would call it a Pan and Scan. It was NEVER referred to as the Ken Burns Effect until Steve added an auto Pan & Scan to iPhoto and then titled the tool the Ken Burns effect. Since this technique is being applied to still photo you just see it where as when it is done to motion footage you don't really notice. Nor should you.
This is right from the Wiki page. Again if you can show me one use PRIOR to the release of iPhoto and not like this link a use of it since. Using the definition after the term is coined does not mean it was used to describe the effect Prior to the Steve reference.
Wiki quote" This technique came to be known as the Ken Burns Effect, even though he did not originate the technique, and has become a staple of documentaries, slide shows, presentations, and even screen savers. In film editing, non-linear editing systems such as iMovie and iPhoto (from Apple Computer) often include an effect or transition called Ken Burns Effect, with which a still image may be incorporated into a film using this kind of slow pan and zoom. It is also seen in screen-savers that slowly pan and zoom through a slide show of digital photographs on a computer's hard disk."
The Ken Burns effect was a term coined by Steve jobs with iphoto was launched. The Pan and Scan effect as it is properly called has well been around long before Ken used it. We just associate it with him because most of his Documentaries are about subjects that had only or mostly still images to use in the show. I am Highly amussed now that a Purly Steveism is not a main stream term. If you can show me a use of Ken Burns Effect prior to iPhoto please link me up.
Hasn't this Revolution controller been around for a while and made by macally and called the air stick? or the even older gyro mouse thing. I remember the gyro mouse when it came out in 1995. What does this Revolution controler do that Gyro mouse and the air stick don't? The air stick has been out for a good few years.
If it would get him hits and controversy he will. He does not really care about one thing he write and we should stop giving into him. Every time his story gets more hits his bosses love him for getting more ad revenue. STOP IT DONT LINK TO THIS CRAP. Its like the old saying if you just ignore him he will go away.
That comment it only a troll because it hurt your little OSS feelings. Everything I said is true. The FF may be more secure but it for sure has some really issues on the memory front on the Mac. On the PC I have not had problems with it. So unless you have used it on the Mac and know it to not do what I am saying how is it a troll? Oh its a troll because you don't agree. I get it.
OK Like all the other people This is crap. Its a feature. BULLSHIT. Any feature that when left running makes the browser so slow it is basically unsuable IS NOT A FEATURE. Oh I get it they are taking the MS approach to fixing bugs now. If we can't fix it its a feature. WHAT EVER I think I am going to download opera and see if I like it better because I am so sick of this. If I leave this running for more then 15 min left on slashdot I can't even type anymore with out huge lag. I like everything about FF right up to the point the window won't even drag around my screen smoothly. F this. Fix it and let me and everyone else know when you have. You all talk about not drinking the MS koolade. Well stop drinking the FF koolade. Saying its better then MS is like saying I would rather be shot once in the head then 3 times in the gut. My experience with FF sucking so bad are on the Mac.
Wow that fixed everything. Before My computer was dull and boring and a little to fast. You know software would load so fast that I did not have time to even go get a cup of coffee. But now thanks to this like. I get to see a plethora of new and exciting products that will enhance my sex life. My wife really appriciates this. My system as slowed to a crawl and now I have plenty of time to grab a cup of coffee or even walk up to the beach for a few minutes. This update is Great. I should have installed it sooner. Now Can I also get this update for the Mac. I hear you can't get this update for the Mac or Linux. WTF. this is the greatest update ever.:-D
Thanks for the link. Pay no attention to the 2 very large men I have sent to thank you. Really get in the car with them. Don't mind the plasic lined trunk.
OK So I TOTALLY get it now. So we are talking over clocking. And people think somehow the Henix or corsair is sending samples they know will OC better? I guess that makes sense if they know someone is going to try to OC it but we know they don't recommend OCing there stuff so who the fuck cares. If someone wants to risk getting OCable parts then that is the risk they take.
I knew when I bought my radeon 9500 on the red PCB that it might not get it to become a 9700 pro. but it did and i am happy. I sure wouldn't be bitching to who ever made my card if it had not.
While I totally see your point The results not typical are not the same as result not possible because we tweaked this thing to death and made a sample just for testing. Results not typical just places it on the far right of the median curve. This could be the case with the ram. Think for the electro stimulas waste belts that are no longer on TV because the results they promised turned out to be complete bull period and they got shut down and fined and all kinds of good stuff.
I think There would be some liability there as well. For instance You can not show a big mac with 3 tomatoes with at the store it only comes with 2. I know crazy analogy. Is this 470Mhz the common speed of the memory? If they are sending a special part to be tested that does not fall within the median speed of the memory they sell they could still be in trouble. Why because if someone buys the part expecting a certain level of performance based on the parts provided to the press they are being mislead. I have no idea if they are breaking the law or not but it should be against the law to send out test samples that are not in-line with the median speed of the production part.
Uh but in photography we have very stick laws about how things can be represented. Called the Truth in Advertising Laws. Look them up.
If I tell you the pre cook weight is 1.4lbs it better damn will be 1/4lbs. You tell me my memory clocks at 470Mhz it better damn will clock 470 or better.
Hey did you ever listen to the song smells like teen spirit by nirvana? He is singing about you, you spoiled think you have the right to what ever you want little whining bitch. Apple doesn't own you anything and stealing is stealing you moron.
I just watched something on the formation of the moon this weekend. It was not formed from anything from Earth. I was most likes a smaller planet forming at the same time that was sucked into our orbit. It then side swiped the then forming Earth and both being in a no solid state did some weird shit way over my head to try and explain in text. The smaller object now significantly slowed down was trapped by the then forming earth. Could be totally wrong but that is what I just watched on Discovery I do believe.
It was my understanding that one of the largest databases on the planet was Boeing's. It tracks every repair ever made to every plane. Like down to replacing a single screw. I don't remember when it was started but my step mother was a cobalt programmer for it. I remember her getting her portion y2k compliant then quiting and making some really sick money as a freelance cobalt programmer. Anyway this was a bit back but She told me that the database was so huge that No one had been able to port it to anything. Boeing was offering some huge for the time amount of money as a reward on top of the contract they would provide for any company that could get the DB out of its cobalt world. No one had been able to do it. That list from wintercorp did not even list Boeing. Is it possible there are bigger DB;s out there that are still running on proprietary apps on main frames???? ( I am sure Boeing by now has moved away from the cobalt based DBs)
UH maybe he was being paid by the university as in Fellowship money. Like he was hired and paid by them to do exactly what he did. So without that he may have never even worked on this type of thing ever.
uh He is no longer the CEO of Pixar because uh He sold pixar to Disney. He is now the single largest indivual share holder in Diney now with 7% or disney stock.
That has to be 170TB of online. Avid is so Toast at NAB unless they have something that no one has ever heard of. Oh can you say online editing of cineons and DPX in a certain other editor that AVID probably really hates for like 1/10th the cost of a nitris. ah just read the story. That is ONLINE storage and it does not say in what configuration that storage is in. http://cgw.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cf m?Section=ARTCL&ARTICLE_ID=250488&VERSION_NUM=2&p= 18
and that story makes me want to try this temporal solution even more. I did not say implement. I said test try, give it a whurl if it works.
I would be wouldn't it. I meant GB for when I said a few hundred TB sorry. Each film is a minimum 6 hours of stored footage average is probably closer to 8 hours so 691200 Frames on Fast storage. If we are only doing 2k that is 12 MB per frame per 10bit cineon. it might be 4k. So for 2k just the raw footage to store on raid 3 is 8TB. How many drives does it take to store 8 TB on raid 3? Ok. Now we take say Sin City where Every single shot is a vfx shot and we have 5 version of every shot. (but we only have 90min now because we only work on the edit revisions so we have maybe 3 version per scene per edit. OK so for 2k we are storing each edit at 1.5TB so 4.5TB x 5 is another 22.5TB. So we for ONE movie and there are more projects going on then that every day 30.5 TB of data conservatively. When I was working on Sin City at Cafe FX we where also doing Blade Trinity and Flight of the phoenix. So we have all the 3d frames that get comped into the scanned frames and revisions on top of revisions. 30.5 it probably way way low. Anyway so for all three of those movies we are at minimum talking about 100TB. That is backed up EVERY DAY but I think only 3 days or 2 are kept on drives then it is put on tape. So uh how many hard drives is that? How many Hd's do you think ILM has? or Digital Domain or Rhythm and hues? Places that are always doing a few movies plus TV spots plus episodic? You can not offline the stuff while you are still editing the show cause you have to have access to it. I don't know still sounds like this would really really rock. Oh and double those numbers if the film is 4k.
and that is why you have redundant back ups. All of our daily back ups right now are raid 50. So uh the chances of loosing Monday are like SLIM. Maybe if we backed up to tape but we don't and we back up a couple hundred TB everynight.
Slashdot Mirror
Hmm use there pantents to make money? Oh you mean like they do.

You did see that Visto does sell a product right? They DO SELL a product and it is in common use.
