Thought
for today: "Pencil and paper /n./: an archaic information
storage and transmission device that works by depositing
smears of graphite on bleached wood pulp. More recent developments
in paper-based technology include improved `write-once'
update devices which use tiny rolling heads similar to mouse
balls to deposit colored pigment. All these devices require
an operator skilled at so-called 'handwriting' technique."

January

Up
Front Sunday Morning NW:
If
you've been on holiday,welcome back! Our two Winter break issues
included an interview with Hildegard Westerkamp and the use of her
music in Gus Van Sant's feature film "Elephant" (12-21-03).
We also ran a feature, Nine who made a difference: Early Documentary
filmmakers (12-28-03).
Check these out if you've been away.
We
have e-mailed our annual questionnaire to radomly selected subscribers
to seek feedback regarding the Proscenia Newsletter. We welcome
anyone who is interested in participating to do so. Simply download
the Proscenia Questionnaire.doc,answer
the short questions and send the document back to us by e-mail.
The more responses we have the better we can serve our readers.
Last
year we published 52 editions of the Proscenia Newsletter. Research
and writing on the next issue would begin once the current newsletter
had been placed online.
In
order to have more time to generate feature material, do interviews,
and enhance the presentation of information, we have decided to
publish the Newsletter on a bimonthly bases during the coming year.
This
is the first of two newsletters to be distributed in January. Each
will contain updated job information. We will have no problem in
making sure that listed employment opportunities are current given
that most positions are advertised for a two week period.
Feedback
from readers suggests that a weekly publication is often too much
to pursue. The idea of fewer newsletters on the electronic door
step has appeal to many. Having more time between editions to explore
topics and related links may make this resource more useful.
Here's
to an exciting new year! All the best to everyone.

RANDOM
LINKS: Movie Trailers |
The
movie trailer is sometimes better than the film it promotes. The
design and production of these short films has become an art form
worth studying. A media designer can learn much by accessing and
analyzing the creative design processes used in many movie trailers.
Here is just a few of the Internet sites devoted to this form of
micro movie.
BBCi
Films. This is a well designed site and provides access to film
trailers using three different download rates. It also offers a
variety of other resources including an informative interview section.
Entertrainmentlink.co.uk.
A guide to 13 trailer and clip sites around the world.
The
Film Asylum. This site is centered around the fantastical side
of cinema including horror, sci-fi, fantasy and action. Provides
trailers, clips and reviews.
IMDb
Internet Movie Database. This is a well known searchable directory
with links to hundreds of trailers. Search by genre or year.
Movie
Trailers. Provides QuickTime trailers for most current feature
films. Also includes soundtracks for some films. A well designed
site making many titles easily accessible.
Movie-List
Classics. Includes some trailers which are no longer (or never
have been) available on the Internet. The trailers have been re-encoded
in high resolution picture and sound.
Pulsing
Cinema. This site has celluloid trailer orphans of European
and Japaneese horror films. Another strange venu with limited quality.
Real
Cinema. Provides trailers of films to be released later in the
year 2004 as well as current features. A nicely organized and easily
accessible site.
Trailervision.A
unique site that offers spoof movie trailers for films that don't
exist. Trailervision pioneers the movie trailer as a new medium.
Trailers are fast, funny and entertaining in their own right and
often better than the movies they advertise. Trailervision produces
spoof trailers and spoof ads at www.zapavision.com.
This site requires membership.
Telugu
Cinema Trailers. Indelbrain.com presents film trailers from
Indian features. These aren't the most imaginative, but somewhat
interesting for their music.
Yahoo
Trailer and Clip Archive.An extensive archive of movie trailers.
Titles only with no descriptions of the film. If you know a movie
you may find a trailer for it at this site.

DISCUSSION FEATURE:The (Multi) Literate Media Designer |
A literate
individual has been traditionally defined as a person who can read
or write text based material. This definition has worked well for
several hundred years. Although the ability to read and write remains
a definition of literacy for most of the world's population, it
has come under scrutiny by those living in societies where the traditional
book, magazine, and newspaper has been supplemented with audio,
visual, and digital media.
Today,
the term "literacy" is used in several contexts.
Computer
literacy. To be computer literate one must have a basic understanding
of what a computer is and how one can use it as a resource for problem
solving, communication, and personal enjoyment. At the basic level
one has skills in equipment operation, using a web browser and a
word processor. At a more advanced level one has knowledge about
the effects computer technology has on culture and society and the
ethical questions which arise from its use.
Visual
literacy. The International Visual Literacy Association defines
visual literacy as a "group of vision competencies a human
being can develop by seeing and at the same time having and integrating
other sensory experiences." When developed these skills facilitate
the ability to discriminate and interpret the visual actions, objects,
and/or symbols, natural or man-made, that are experienced in daily
life. Visual literacy includes the ability to "read" or
deconstruct images. It also includes skills in the construction
or "writing" of imagery through photography, illustrating,
or other techniques.
Information
literacy.To be information literate, a person must be able
to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to
locate, evaluate, and effectively use it. Librarians are advocates
of learning information literacy skills that relate to both traditional
and mediated forms of information.
Media
literacy. A media literate individual understands its influence
in his/her daily life. This includes media such as that marketed
over the airwaves, cable, in theaters, in stores, or online through
the Internet. A media literate individual is able to "deconstruct"
(read) how the media's audio and visual language frameworks are
used to "construct" meaning. He/she analyzes, asks questions
and seeks validation, when needed, about the daily messages that
inform, entertain and sell.
Media
literacy also includes the ability to produce (write) media at various
levels of competency. An individual who can use media tools to construct
a web site, video, sound recording, or multimedia product is empowered
to communicate ideas through many different channels.
Today's
multimedia designer is a multi-literate individual who has a fundamental
understanding of computer technology,applications, and techniques
for accessing information from a variety of sources.
The
designer is an aural and visually literate individual who understands
the unique constructions of film, video, photography, and sound.
He or she is able to use these languages as fluently as the written
or spoken word.
Finally,
the media designer understands the social, economic, and political
influences which shape his/her work and its distribution. Understanding
how media influence and modify audience opinion or action is a part
of the ethical consideration one must give to the influence their
work will have on others.

SITE
VISIT:Not
A Phaze Productions |
Editor's Note: We hope you enjoy this new Site Visit section.
Not only will we visit studios and schools, but also new media producers
just starting out in the profession.
This
week we feature Josh Taylor's Not
A Phaze Productions located in Eugene, Oregon.
Josh
Taylor: The name, Not A Phaze Productions, originated
with my desire to advance, to not be static, to continue to evolve
along with progressive technology, and the design world. Not
A Phaze is a state of mind - to constantly push myself, working
to fine-tune my present skills and acquire new ones.
After
completing my Associates degree at Lane Community College I searched
for work in the community. I found few places in Eugene that were
employing individuals in the field of Multimedia. After not having
any luck finding work, I put my education to work for me and started
Not A Phaze Productions.
I
don’t think it is realistic to expect to get rich from doing
design work. I have no delusions of grandeur. I am just trying to
keep my feet on the ground, and my head above water.
Not
A Phaze is a grass roots production company. I hope that within
the next five years to make a living at design work and no longer
have to pursue a second job.I plan to accomplish this through establishing
repeat clients and provide the services that will help them grow
and evolve.
I
would like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way. Help
yourself, by helping others. You receive when you give, and you
learn when you listen.

CYBERCRIME
MORE THAN DOUBLED IN 2003. This past year the Internet
proved a lucrative haven for phishers, online auction scammers and
Nigerians proffering cash-sharing partnerships, according to statistics
from the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, which reports it received
more than 120,000 online fraud complaints in 2003. That translates
to an increase of 60% since 2002, when 75,000 complaints were processed.
The Center provides cybercrime victims with a convenient process
for filing complaints, which it then analyzes and routes to the
appropriate FBI field office or local law enforcement agency for
further action. (The Register 29 Dec 2003) http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/34667.html
DOMAIN
NAME MARKET HEATS UP. The market for catchy Internet domain
names is heating up again, says Monte Cahn, CEO of Moniker Online
Services, which last week brokered the sale of "men.com"
for $1.3 million. "In the last couple of years, the domain
names were selling for significantly less than what they did in
'99, 2000." The seven-figure price tag for men.com "is
a big indicator of what's yet to come." Meanwhile, the seller,
who owns more than 4,000 other domain names, says he could have
gotten much more if he'd hung on a little longer, but he wanted
to pocket his profit now so that he'd have cash to buy up more names
before prices really skyrocket. (AP 25 Dec 2003)

BLOGGERS:
THE NEW FACE OF JOURNALISM
The TV networks and major newspapers now face spirited competition
from blogs (i.e., Web logs) offered by independent political commentators.
Here are a few blogs you might want to become familiar with: Instapundit.com;
AndrewSullivan.com; TalkingPointsMemo.com; DrudgeReport.com; DailyKos.com;
RealClearPolitics.com; and Kausfiles.com. Washington lobbyist Ellen
Miller
says that blogging "takes the media out of the hands of the
corporate world and puts it into the hands of guys with computers";
Glenn Reynolds, a law professor and blogger (Instapundit.com) says
the blogosphere has become an "idea farm" for the established
media; Andrew Sullivan (AndrewSullivan.com) says blogging is "like
having a giant communal brain"; and Tom Bevan (RealClearPolitics.com)
says that blogging means that "if you have something to say
that's interesting, you will eventually be heard." (USA Today
30 Dec
2003) http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-12-30-blogging-usat_x.htm
FCC
CHAIR POWELL WANTS MORE PLATFORMS. Michael Powell, chairman
of the Federal Communications Commission, believes it's the role
of the FCC to facilitate change: "What's the future we'd like
to see? One, we don't want one pipe. We're doing everything we can
to incent the free-radical opportunities for multiple routes to
the home. So when you look at FCC proceedings, that's where there's
so much energy going into WiFi, and ultra-wideband and powerline
broadband and laser optics and free-space optics and other policies
that encourage and incent the creation of alternate digital platforms.
It's why I want digital companies to become phone companies, and
phone companies to become video companies. We want to get more platforms.
(San Jose Mercury News 29 Dec 2003)

ISRAELI
GOV'T SUSPENDS PURCHASES OF MICROSOFT SOFTWARE.
The Israeli government has become the latest national government
to seek open-source alternatives to Microsoft's productivity software,
citing cost as a major motivating factor. "The move with Microsoft
was a purely economic decision," says a Finance Ministry spokeswoman.
"The Israeli government will not be purchasing new products
from Microsoft, but will implement its contract to secure existing
systems. On a policy level, the government is committed to expanding
computer use. We want open source technology to spread, so more
people will be able to afford computers." The Finance Ministry
has been working with Sun Microsystems and IBM to create a Hebrew
language version of OpenOffice software, an open-source alternative
to Microsoft Office. Some federal agencies in France, China and
Germany, as well as the city government in Munich, have switched
over to Linux-based servers and individual workstations. Other governments
exploring open source alternatives include those in Britain, Brazil,
Japan, South Korea, China and Russia. Governments account for about
10% of global information technology spending, according to IDC.
