MEETING AGENDA:

6:45 PM: VIDEOBLOGGING: IT'S A CONTINUUM
Videoblogger Steve Garfield will briefly talk about the advantages of putting your video up on the web in a videoblog. When you put your video in a blog, a whole new audience will be able to see your work.  Much like the explosion of audio with podcasting, video on the web is about to explode as more and more people progress through the continuum: Watch, learn, create, teach.

Steve will also mention participating in the joint Tech Superpowers, Inc. and BOSFCPUG "Going Mobile" booth at Macworld Conference and Expo Boston July 11-14th, in which the BOSFCPUG will launch a QuickTime Streaming Server in which members of the Boston digital filmmaking community can upload content to view on their respective websites and on the BOSFCPUG website.

Garfield is the Boston Correspondent with Rocketboom, a daily internet videoblog.  His videos are also featured on the video blog channel of Akimbo, whose set-top box connects your broadband Internet service to your television set.

8:30 PM: WORKING WITH MOTION 2 AND GREENSCREEN COMPOSITING
Alex Lindsay of DV Garage and Pixelcorps is back with us for a live demo of chromakeying footage in Motion 2 and DVMatte. Alex will show that with Motion 2's new plug-in architecture, it's now incredibly easy to pull a key ini Motion 2 in real-time. Using greenscreen footage shot on MiniDV and higher formats including DVC Pro HD, Alex will compare how results can vary amongst formats and recommend what to look out for and share some tips on best practices to follow when working with greenscreen footage.

Alex has been involved in computer graphics for nearly 20 years. He has extensive experience in digital production including print, real-time graphics, multimedia titles, forensic animation, television, and film. He spent several years on the production of STAR WARS: EPISODE ONE (at JAK Films and then at Industrial Light and Magic). Alex has taught at the Academy of Art and at the San Francisco State Multimedia Studies Programs. He writes for 3D Magazine, 3D World, and Post and is a regular guest on TechTV.
