How Network Cables Will Replace HDMI

Recently, a slew of television manufacturers announced the HDBaseT connection, an ethernet based cable that will provide "power, video/audio, internet and control signals" to televisions sets and replace the current HDMI connection. With the increasing potential of 3D video and 4k Resolution (a more demanding resolution with a frame size of 4096×3072 versus HD at 1920x1080), the new connection will bring the latest technology home, so to speak, making it possible to transfer audio/video data along with the capability of internet connectivity in the same cable.

48HFP Awards and Best of Screening

Our film, Bounce Back, was selected to screen again this past weekend at the Best of New York Screening for the 48 Hour Film Project.

The films were all great this year, and team Panic Pants (aka One Glass) walked away with three awards on Friday: an Audience Award, Best Use of Prop, and Best Art Direction!

Also, did I mention that our team name was briefly mentioned in the New York Times? Just scan the 4th paragraph for "hip, ironic names" and you'll see us listed. Hmm. Hip. That's ironic.

2010 NYC 48 Hour Film Project

This year, from June 4th-6th, the 48 Hour Film Project came once again to New York. And for the 5th time, we signed up our team for the restless weekend of film making.

The elements this year for everyone were:

Required character: Ellie or Ethan St. John, President of ______

Required prop: a tennis ball

Line of dialogue: "Are you sure?"

Each team was randomly assigned a different genre; One Glass Video (aka team Panic Pants) was given the genre of Dark Comedy. What we came up with? The former president of a tennis ball company searches for love in a post apocalyptic world.

We hope you like it!!

We're developing a short video series of bar "tips" written by comedian Kendra Cunningham. Recently, we shot the first installment of the series with the Canon 7D. I'm happy with the way the footage looks, though I'm a little disappointed that the 7D overheats so quickly. The lights heated things up a bit, but I'm guessing the space was no warmer than 75 degrees (within Canon's suggested temperate range). We only had an hour to get the shots we needed, so the camera was on and going for most of it. Keeping the LCD dim/off or going to an external monitor seems to help, but I hope they figure this issue out for future generations of DSLR's. I've read a lot of other comments about this issue on various forums, and some have even suggested shooting with the camera on an ice pack.

A Shift from TV to Web

Marketing online is becoming increasingly popular, and increasingly effective. The quality of web videos are rising, and so are our standards. Below are two examples of how big brands are focusing their attention and their marketing dollars online, specifically for high production value video advertising.

IKEA explores web video as an alternative to Television advertising. Their branded web video series, "Easy to Assemble" has become the most-watched sponsored web show, with over 5 millions views and counting. Television quality, on web dollars. [source] [source]

The recession has hit many of us hard, but we're seeing an opposite effect on the digital front of advertising. The economy's downturn has changed the way brands are marketing themselves."Our production quality online is better than our broadcast." says Jim Farley, VP-globalmarketing at Ford Motor. [source]
