    Good to know , I appreciate it. I hadn’t thought about the battery life.

    Thanks,

    He produced Domino, Tristan & Isolde, and the godawful (but decent looking) Man on Fire.

    Hey Mak,

    Our videoconferencing environment here is pretty well lit, so as a result, the light response of the 300’s we demo’d last year wasn’t too much of an issue. But what I can tell you is that they are not the quietest robotic cams around, and in our situation, we wanted to mount them upside down, which means flipping a switch that inverts the image, and unfortunately causes a slight delay in the signal. The motors seemed very solid, however, and you’d probably get alot longer life out of them (the motors) than the D100’s.

    Hope this helps.

    It was a NASCAR promo that Psyop did for Fox Sports a year or two ago. Very cool graphics…

  • If drive space isn’t a huge issue and I’ve got a graphic that needs an alpha channel, I will typically render out 32 bit uncompressed TGA image sequences from Combustion. If I’m looking to save some space, or I’m not as concerned with compression, I would render out a png sequence.

    The link for “entire reel” doesn’t seem to work, but other than that, I really like your work. Outstanding use of text elements, still images, and masks. I’m inspired…

    As much as I loved some of the great effects and graphics work of alot of the ads, I still think that the Ameriquest “Hospital” commercial was the best. Simple, well executed, and darkly funny.
