Sundance Infographic Reveals Some Promising and Not So Promising Numbers in Independent Film With Sundance ’14 being only four days away, independent filmmakers, studios, and buyers are gearing up for another festival year of screenings, bidding, passing, as well as contemplation over the current state of independent cinema. Cultural Weekly and Entertainment Media Partners CEO Adam Leipzig have released an in-depth infographic compiling key data from Sundance, namely on spending, which analyzes how these numbers stack up against those of the major studios. Their findings are a mixed bag of encouraging stats and disheartening truths. Cultural Weekly and Leipzig decided to use Sundance as a representation of independent cinema as a whole, because “with more than 4,000 feature-length films submitted each year, Sundance certainly represents a healthy sample of the industry,” especially since the higher profile films tend to be submitted to the festival. The study collected data from top indie film producers, sales agents and indie financiers and found several interesting stats.
tutorial: creando pequeños planetas | Fotografo digital y tutoriales Photoshop La creación de pequeños planetas a partir de una fotografía es un recurso creativo de Photoshop que se encuadra dentro del apartado de efectos especiales. Idealmente, la creación del miniplaneta debería partir de un panorama de 360º para que fuera perfecto. Pero seamos realistas, pocas veces hacemos panorámicas y casi nunca son de 360º. Por esta razón, en el tutorial de Photoshop que viene a continuación se muestra cómo es posible crear un mini planeta con un panorama unas cuantas imágenes pero que no llega a ser circular y también cómo hacerlo incluso con una sola imagen, siempre que ésta reuna unas características determinadas, fundamentalmente 2: tener el horizonte recto y tener a ambos extremos motivos similares.

The 15th Story Beat: More Lessons Learned from the Finale of My CENTS Kickstarter If my research of Kickstarter campaigns for film and video taught me anything, I learned the final days of most successful campaigns are wild rides. The Kickstarter for my upcoming feature film CENTS was no exception. Near the end of our Kickstarter, I shared lessons learned from the 15 story beats of our campaign, but since our campaign wasn’t finished, the 15th story beat had yet to be written. Now that our Kickstarter is done, allow me to take you behind the scenes of our final week to share more lessons learned from the exciting conclusion of our crowdfunding campaign. Before we jump into the details of the final days of the CENTS Kickstarter, let’s take a look at the funding progress of the campaign. You’ll notice our momentum started to pick up on Feb. 4, climbing steadily until Feb. 7, when we really took off. Warning: Crowdfunding May Cause Emotional Whiplash Unfortunately, virtually no one could make it to the party. How to Revive a Flatlining Kickstarter On Tues. At 9 am on Thu.
Creador on line de esquemas de iluminación Lighting Diagram Creator es una aplicación on line que nos permite crear esquemas de luces para fotografía de estudio. La aplicación es muy útil al momento de planificar una producción fotográfica. Podemos realizar un diagrama del posicionamiento de los modelos, fondos, luces, flashes, paraguas, difusores y cualquier otro elemento que podamos encontrar en un estudio sin tener que mover un solo equipo de lugar. Su uso es muy sencillo, solo consiste en arrastrar dentro de una grilla los íconos de los equipos que queramos usar en nuestra producción e ir moviendolos y rotándolos hasta que demos con el esquema que buscamos. Podemos bajarlo en jpg o bien subirlo a Flickr para mostrar como tomamos nuestra fotografía. También podemos compartir nuestras fotos y nuestros diagramas en la sección Community y ver el resultado final utilizando la aplicación. Yo creo que puede ser muy productivo al momento de planificar una sesión de fotos. Fotografía: HQ Photography

Sus aplicaciones pueden ser artísticas o científicas. Técnica[editar] Máquina reflex tradicional. La fotografía infrarroja requiere de una fuente de radiación infrarroja. El equipo fotográfico que se necesita, puede ser una cámara reflex convencional, acompañada de filtros y película sensible a esta longitud de onda. Arriba: imagen infrarroja en falso color. Filtros[editar] Los filtros infrarrojos tienen como misión excluir la radiación ultravioleta y la totalidad o gran parte del espectro visible, dejando pasar a través del objetivo de la cámara solamente el espectro infrarrojo. En el mercado se pueden encontrar diferentes tipos de filtros infrarrojo, según las necesidades.
