I was pretty happy when a national TV show I freelance with gave us Boris BCC filters. On the surface, BCC filters are simple for fast turnaround, but each filter has tons of options for custom effects that will have the anti-filter snob in the next cubicle eating his/her heart out. The four text effects we will cover were all made with BCC Glitter. Normally, BCC Glitter is used for twinkling stars, ala ET. Like Trapcode Starglow, it follows the alpha, which makes Glitter good for type effects.

At this year's SIGGRAPH convention in Los Angeles, I had the good fortune to see Santiago Caicedo's piece called Moving Still. It's a short stereographic animation that has many different elements that are out of the ordinary, but ordinary enough to catch you off guard. The setting is a subway car, an elevated train. You're the passenger watching the world outside the windows pass by. And after a few seconds, you'll really be glad you're along for the ride.

All the rage at this year's SIGGRAPH was facial imaging. Capture a person's face, put it on a double, movie is done. Just take a look at the motorcycle chase in the new Indiana Jones movie. You didn't think that was actually Harrison Ford did you?

Color Grading is too often regarded as an arcane, exclusive science not fit for mere mortals. But the digital age is slowly starting to reshape this mentality and allow for a clearer perspective through the haze of hyperbole. Which is a good thing because the tools for getting great color grading results have never been better, cheaper or more accessible.

A little while ago, I had the chance to sit down and take Boris Blue 2 for AVX for a spin. If you didn't get a chance to check out my review, you can by clicking here! I thought Blue was an excellent product and definitely worth picking up. One thing that was important to keep in mind was that I was basing my review on a "qualified" system, and needless to say, the system requirements for Blue were extremely stringent.

My original plan was for this to be a straightforward review of Apple's updated 24-inch iMac that was announced in April. In such cases I ask the manufacturer for a review unit, they send it to me on loan, I TEST it for a few weeks, write my review and finally pack everything back in its box and ship it back.

Compact digital cameras are easy to use, output excellent quality images, and are loaded with features that can enhance the user's photographic capabilities. One thing that many compact digital cameras are not, as with most personal electronic devices these days, are sturdy. If you have dropped one, as I have in the past, chances are the LCD screen has cracked internally but still may work, or the unit won't power up at all, relegating it to the round file in the sky. Most just aren't built to withstand the rigors of everyday happenings.
