Excellent in-depth reporting by Tim Ferris on how to create an effective viral video book trailer. Tim takes as deconstructing case his own The 4-Hour Chef (4HC) book trailer, which is now the most-viewed non-fiction book trailer of all time. Roughly 1.5 million views and counting. Lots of images, resources, links, video clips and examples of what it took Tim to produce his book video trailer. P.S.: Check out also this complementary post Behind the Scenes: How to Make a Movie Trailer for Your Product (or Book), which goes into equipment, planning, and (tons of) other useful stuff. Informative. Resourceful. Detailed. 9/10

"Some awesome relics from the past continue to float to the internet’s surface, and this series of videos goes behind the scenes on Spike Lee’s 1989 breakout film Do the Right Thing, which constitutes a day (the hottest day) in the life of a community in Brooklyn. Spike brought a small camera along to document the development of the actors, and provides a candid look into the heart of the independent filmmaking process. Hit the jump to watch all three videos:" ...

Posted by definitionmags on February 19, 2013 • "The production shot with six Alexa cameras paired on three Cameron Pace Fusion rigs with ARRI / Zeiss Master Primes. The uncompressed HD data was recorded to Codex recorders. The result is a remarkable cinematic accomplishment that enhances the viewing experience and immerses audiences in a sea of breathtaking imagery. Here DP Claudio Miranda talks about materialising images and emotions on a grand scale for Life Of Pi. (...) "I did some early tests with other cameras. We needed strong, controlled highlights. Normally, sunlight reflecting on water is a pretty big digital issue. We shot off the Venice Beach pier with the camera very low to the water. The Alexa was the only camera that didn’t feel electronic in the highlights. That’s pretty critical to the story, with all of the highlights going out of control in the reflections and with characters really close to the water. This was really important to get a handle on. It was a landslide why we chose Alexa. It was obvious very early on that was our camera." ... DefinitionMagazine.com Via Thierry Saint-Paul Delete the scoop?

"All this talk of 4K, high frame rate, 3D, and ever more precision and information in video signals is a good thing, right? Well, yes, but at some point, an engineering solution has to be designed to let it happen, and there's reason to believe we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves
NHK's Super Hi-Vision 8K camera prototypes need an armload of SDI cables to deal with the torrent of data produced by such a high-resolution device, and until recently, 4K was just as difficult. Postprocessing and storing camera data at beyond-2K resolutions can still make for cumbersome workflows. At NAB, Blackmagic released a whole load of 4K-capable gear using the new 6-gigabit SDI standard that had, at the time, not quite been finalised. And finally, right at the end of its press conference, Sony announced its new 4K TVs. Early-adopter prices are no surprise at this point, but they're still quite a lot cheaper than most of the 4K displays – such as Astro Design's DM-3410 series – that have existed to date." ...

Robin Good: The Mikey Digital is a portable, pocket sized microphone designed to work with your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad (unfortunately, a lightning adapter is required for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini. The adapters are available for $29 through Apple) and ready to record both quality live sound as well as interview voices and electric instruments that can plug directly into its dedicated plug.
From the official site: "Featuring two custom-tuned Blue capsules for stereo recording, a line-input, USB pass through and a stylish updated 230-degree rotating design, Mikey's three gain settings allow for a versatile recording experience for everything from a loud concert to a whisper."
From the Mashable review: "Guitar players can plug cables directly into the device through the input and sync their instruments with a number of recording apps, which give users an experience similar to having thousands of pedals and cabinets to work with."

Ever since I came across Robin's Scoop.it site I have found some top knotch resources. When educators are looking to integrate video projects into their curriculum, one must consider what time may be needed outside of class to complete the work. Well, here is one video option that works on multiple platforms. Thus, enabling students to work on projects at home as well as school.
MakeUseOf :: Adobe Premiere. Final Cut Pro. Sony Vegas. AVID. All of these are high-end video editors that all have one attribute in common: they cost money. In an ideal world, there would be an equally high-end freeware video editing system out there. Unfortunately, most of the “editors” that do make these claims are embarrassingly poor and of little to no use.
However, Shotcut may be a shining star in the world of free video editors. It’s an open-source, cross-platform editing system that is incredibly intricate, and it’s loaded with an arsenal of features so hot that they will melt your face off. More appropriately, Shotcut is a freeware video toolkit that is actually useful and won’t hold you back.
Shotcut offers basic cutting and trimming capabilities along with a zillion different codecs available for export. For the record, these are professional-level file formats, and you could even use Shotcut as a higher-end file converter from time to time, if needed. Also included is the ability to perform basic color correction with a three-wheel user interface, an eyedropper tool for post-production white balancing, and a few filters to choose from.
On the input side of things, Shotcut can receive footage via SDI, HDMI, and more. Timecode is supported, and the app will typically allow for native editing. Simply put, Shotcut is a fantastic piece of software to keep in your editing suite. I wouldn’t recommend it as your go-to editor, but it definitely has a place in the video production world.
To install, simply extract the archive and run it. You can drag the Shotcut folder (app icon for OS X) to copy and move it wherever you want.
