December 14 - Vol 2. No. 50 Up Front Sunday Morning NW: It is the beginning of Winter break for many of our readers. We wish all a safe journey home to visit with family and friends over the holidays. As we here in the northern hemisphere approach the shortest day of the year, it is time to look forward to spring and possible conferences and events to brighten our spirits. Here are three to consider.
Meanwhile, the 11th Flashforward Conference and Flash Film Festival will be held in San Francisco 3-5 March, 2004. This is the oldest and largest Flash user conference in the world. It is designed to share the latest in design, development, education and inspiration.the conference includes 4 half-day in-depth Flash workshops, 24 one-hour seminars, 20 Q&A sessions, 17 "Ask the Experts" sessions and 11 Technology Showcase seminars. The Flash Film Festival and exhibition area round out the event. The 3D Festival 2004 in Copenhagen (3-6 May 2004) is Europe’s largest convention and exhibition for the creative 3D industry involved in animation, post production, digital visual effects, games, architectural visualization and design. Featuring three conferences, a host of exciting events and Europe’s largest exhibition of products and services for the creative community, 3D Festival 2004 is a professional symposium for the international 3D industry. Today's feature film promotions often include Internet resources of interest to students of multimedia. The Lord of The Rings is one web site example. Visit and check out the digital horse section and learn how the film's animation artists were able to create an army of virtual horses and warriors. Or, explore the techniques sound designers used while working on this film trilogy. The Associate Press has publishing a set of interesting facts related to the "Lord of the Rings". Among them is that over the 7 years it took to produce the trilogy, 180 computer special-effect artists were employed and that 2,400 behind-the-scenes crew members were used at the height of production. Also, 3 million feet of film was shot during the production. By my calculations that is about 569 miles of film stock or about the distance between Seattle and the Oregon-California border! Portland director Gus Van Sant's "Elephant" is now playing in theaters. Canadian soundscape composer Hildi Westerkamp was approached by Van Sant's office to use segments from her recorded work. She found the process of negotiating music rights a unique experience. I hope to write about her experiences in a future newsletter. Women are under represented in the media industry. One organization to help create a sense of community for professionals is the Women In Animation International. It is a professional, non-profit organization established in 1994 to "foster the dignity, concerns and advancement of women who are involved in any and all aspects of the art and industry of animation." The Webby Awards is presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, and is the leading international honor for achievement in technology, creativity and individual achievement. The Academy is now accepting entries for the 8th Annual Webby Awards. Final deadline is December 19, 2003. DOXA has announced that submissions for Vancouver's 2004 documentary film festival are now being accepted. The deadline for submissions is January 15th, and the festival will be held from May 25-30, 2004. You can download a print-friendly version of the entry form at the DOXA web site. Today's fun web page is Mr. Picassohead.This clever site facilitates your becoming a Cubist painter where you create a work by moving facial parts -- eyes, hair, lips, ears, noses -- onto a canvas in the same fashion as snapping plastic parts onto a Mr. Potatohead doll. You can also colorize, rotate, and change the sizes of your image elements. You can save your masterpiece in the gallery, and email a link to your friends. You can also browse the gallery, which has close to 40,000 paintings in it at present. GF () Web site header and icons by: Clandestino Productions

Random Links provides an opportunity to share online web resources. Listed sites may focus around a specific topic or be truly random. If you have a collection of hot links you'd like to share please let us know (). This collection covers the topic of adding sound to web pages. We begin with basic techniques and then explore the use of streaming software and technology. Basics: Embedding Sound Files in Web Pages Adding a Background Sound to Your Web Page.This page also explores the very basics of adding background sound to a web page using the Adding sound to your web page.This is a nicely written and illustrated page that explains sound and midi formats for web pages. Bringing Sound into Your Web Pages. A tutorial that discusses hardware, software, copying and linking sound files, and making sound files automatically play. Three of the more common sound files for web pages are .wav, .mid or .midi, and au. One advantage to using a midi file is that midi files are much smaller and therefore it takes less time to download them. Midi files can only contain background (instrumental) music. Both au. files and .wav can contain any type of sounds (eg., vocal, background). Hear Ye, Hear Ye A three part series on integrating audio with web pages. This is a more in-depth discussion about sound, sound editing programs, and the integration of audio into web page design. Web audio is moving past the lunatic fringe into the mainstream, with technologies such as Real Audio, which lets folks broadcast and receive talk shows, concerts, and recorded music over the Internet. Emerging audio file format standards such as MP3 catch headlines as folks prepare to use these resources on the Internet. So You Want To Add Sound? Putting It On Your Page.This site gets you prepared to record a message, record something, and then prepare everything and upload it to your hosting service. Then add the code to your page to get it running. Tips, Tricks, How-To, and Beyond: Adding sound into a web page.This tutorial was written in 1998 and focuses on the very basics of inserting sound into a web page. It explores the use of two tags for adding sound to your document, the The Advanced Techniques: Streaming, Flash, and Dreamweaver Adding Streaming Audio Files. Streaming media, such as RealAudio sound files are a great way to enhance to your Web site, but there are some specific items that are required in order to put them up and have them work correctly a.) server software that supports streaming media, and b.)file types that can be streamed. Adding Professional Audio to Your Site.Just about anyone, for as little as $10.00 per month depending on the file size and bandwidth usage, can create, upload and link streaming audio. It truly is as simple as uploading your media file and linking it to your site. Anyone with an audio sound card and microphone can create their own professional audio. This site explains how. Getting Started with Flash. A selection of tutorials and demonstrations related to the use of flash sound. A comprehensive site for those familiar with Flash. Flash Sound Tutorials. This site includes the following tutorials: Using Flash to add sound to a Web page. "The tutorials in this series use both Flash and Dreamweaver to add audio to a Web page. They each use one kind of audio, MP3 (Motion Picture Experts Group Audio), which is embedded in a SWF file in Flash and then played or controlled in Dreamweaver. Other audio formats (such as WAV for Windows or AIFF for Macintosh) can also be added to the SWF file. Sound files, which come in a variety of formats, are handled differently and inconsistently by different browsers and on different computers. For some measure of predictability and control, users can bring audio into Dreamweaver by first inserting it into a SWF file (created by Macromedia Flash). The SWF file will be played with the Flash plug-in, which comes with most browsers. Flash is a streaming technology, so audio files can start playing even before the entire file has been completely downloaded." General Interest: Audio Tutorials. Provides links to hundreds of tutorial sites covering most aspects of web based and interactive audio. The Interactive Audio Special Interest Group. (IA-SIG) exists to allow developers of audio software, hardware, and content to freely exchange ideas about "interactive audio". The goal of the group is to improve the performance of interactive applications by influencing hardware and software design, as well as leveraging the combined skills of the audio community to make better tools. The WebDeveloper.com Secret Guide to RealAudio. Provides insight into the use of RealAudio and the possibilities of integrating it into web site design.

On September 20, 1952, at 4:30pm, Portland station KPTV aired its first telecast. My family was ready in that we had purchased a 17-inch black and white TV set in anticipation of this new medium. What a change television brought to our home. The living room was rearranged so everyone had a good view of the TV screen and the radio to which we had listened nightly became increasing unused. I saw my first color television set in a Seattle store window the year color broadcasting began in 1954. It was just an amazing experience as was my first viewing of black and white TV. Sets were expensive and it would not be until the the middle 1960's that my parents purchased their first color set. Today, we have yet another opportunity to experience a new revolution in the delivery and viewing of Television. The US Government has mandated that High Definition television be in place by the year 2007. Currently, as with the introduction of color, there are limited programs being broadcast for viewing. As with early color, High Definition TV sets are expensive to purchase. However, as with color, as more programs are produced in High Definition, and more sets are produced, the cost of switching from the analog TV of today to the digital High Definition TV of tomorrow will quickly take place.
The shape of the TV image has changed with the introduction of HDTV. The current system has a screen ratio of 4:3. The new HDTV screen ratio is 16:9. It is big, wide, and accommodating of most any adventure film produced today. The HDTV set is capable of displaying 1080i or 730p resolution. The 1080i stands for resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and the little 'i' means that the video is being interlaced.The 720p stands for resolution of 1280x720 pixels and the 'p' means that the video is in progressive format. What you see is a brilliantly clear image with the finest of details made visible. There are basically three types of viewing screens used today. There is the currently used CRT (cathode ray tube). These tubes are most frequently used in the rear screen projection sets now available for HDTV with a 60 inch model. The LCD screen uses the same technology as that in a notebook computer screen and can be very thin. The largest LCD screen now available produces an image bright enough to be viewed in a lighted room. The plasma screen is the dream of many who hang it on the wall as if a piece of art. A 60 inch screen is expensive but fills that vision of a painting size TV screen. In addition to a HDTV screen you need a receiver. These vary in cost. An additional decoder is needed if you are on a cable system and most services will lease a combination of receiver and decoder as part of a digital package. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered broadcasters to phase out analog programming and replace it with HDTV digital by January 1, 2007. Analog broadcasting may remain in some areas if less that 85 percent of viewers have digital receivers.So, for most of us, three years from now we may have to replace our current television sets. We will see many changes in television broadcasting between now and the end of the decade. Media production will also change. We who produce video will need to replace our cameras and editing equipment as the move to HDTV makes our current tools obsolete. Already, there is at least one prosumer HDTV camera on the market and more will follow.For more information see How Stuff Works: HDTV. Visit the Proscenia Discussion Topic Archive |

We do this in an environment built on collaboration: the foundation of success in the creative arts of film and television. Although it's technically possible for one person to make a film today, the best creative work is a team effort. So we are committed to helping our students learn to work with other creative people to draw upon each individual's strengths. At Chapman, we believe there are three key components to learning how to make great films: students need to watch films, make films, and talk about films. Watching films means learning the history of film language. It means learning how images communicate. Making films is, of course, what everyone expects to do when they come to film school. And talking about films? Well, we bring major Hollywood artists to campus to talk to students about what they do. We give you the opportunity to do all of these things and encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity."

Lang says that "the barriers and demands of the high-tech industry are very similar to those of traditional industries. What is surprising is that in an industry that thinks of itself as a meritocracy, women and men both perceive a lack of acceptance of women. " Lang is president of Catalyst, a non-profit organization aimed at the advancement of women in business. A new report by that organizations urges companies to address the barriers to advancement by including women in career development programs, providing opportunities for interacting with other successful women, and fostering more flexibility. (San Jose Mercury News 12 Nov 2003) http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/7241970.htm SUMMIT PARTICIPANTS FACE 500-FOOT-HIGH VIRTUAL BILLBOARD. Participants at this week's World Summit on the Information Society will be greeted by a 500-foot-high laser-light display that will beam thousands of SMS messages onto a wall of water formed by the shooting jets of Lake Geneva's Jet d'Eau, the world's tallest fountain. Internet users will be able to post their messages almost instantly onto the fountain display, or onto the northern façade of the U.N. building in New York, a mountain face in Rio de Janiero, or the front of a Bombay skyscraper. It's all part of the Helloworld Project, the brainchild of Swiss Web designer Johannes Gees, and is similar to a smaller version he debuted at the 2001 World Economic Forum in Davos. "The idea is to use the media to allow people to get their message across to powerful people," says Gees. "With this project's intervention into public space, I give people who don't have money the power to be present in a big, visible way." Requests from governments to edit the messages have been refused, although Gees says his 12 multilingual editors will screen out messages with personal insults, commercial content, racism or sexism. He's also discouraging people from sending "Hi, Mom!"-type messages. (Wired.com 8 Dec 2003) TECHNOLOGY FOR THE WORLD: 'SHOW US THE MONEY' Delegates to a three-day U.N. summit on the Information Society want to get the Internet, telephones and other communications to at least half the world's inhabitants by 2015, but one skeptical Kenyan aid worker says, "There have been many initiatives, summits, declarations, very many commitments on text that have yet to be actualized. They need to put down money." One conference organizer estimates that it will take more than $6billion to extend phones and the Internet to all corners of the world. A U.S. aid agency, the Overseas Private Investment Corp., pledged $400 million in loans and loan guarantees for U.S. companies that invest overseas in yet-to-be-determined digital divide projects. The European Union has indicates it will give additional funds, but isn't ready to commit or to say how much. (AP/Washington Post 11 Dec 2003) SKULL PHONES Two Japanese cell phone companies are making handsets that send vibrationsthrough the human skull to relay sound. One is the Sanyo TS41, which works as a regular cell phone when the folding handset is opened, but can also be placed next to the user's face, allowing tiny vibrations from the phone to travel through bones in the face to the ear. Another new handset of this kind comes from NTT DoCoMo, which takes the form of a wristband with a microphone and earphone in it. Vibrations sent to the ear are converted by the brain into sound. (AP/USA Today 12 Dec 2003) PC USERS SEEK SOUNDS OF SILENCE. A small but growing niche market is developing for very quiet PCs, fueled by consumers who are fed up with the noise pollution caused by ever-louder fans cooling ever-more-powerful computer components. "Progressively, PCs have been getting louder and louder over the years," says business owner Paul Holstein, who recently switched all his company's computers over to quiet models. "I just snapped. If you can hear the PC through your walls from the bedroom, you've got a problem." Holstein checked with Endpcnoise.com, which specializes in building nearly silent PCs. Other companies offering very quiet PCs include Tranquil PC in the UK and SilentPC in the Netherlands. And while mainstream PC makers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard market some PCs as quieter than others, a lot of Endpcnoise's business comes from retrofitting those models with noise-stifling accessories. Through the use of a specially designed quiet power unit and a slower-spinning CPU fan, combined with a larger PC case made of insulated material and specially designed cables to maximize airflow, very quiet PCs can achieve noise levels as low as 25 or 26 decibels (a human's lowest hearing threshold is generally thought to be about 20 decibels while a quiet bedroom clocks in at about 30 Db). (Reuters/CNN.com 10 Nov 2003) SIGN OF THE TIMES. Jennicam -- that edgy, avant garde Web site that provided a 24-hour peek into the life of one-time DC resident Jennifer Ringley -- is folding up shop a the end of this year. Although Ringley hasn't divulged why she's shutting off the cameras, online payment service PayPal could be the culprit. Ringley charges $15 a year to tune in, and PayPal recently closed her account, citing a company ban on "the sale of items for mature audiences" (viewers were occasionally able to catch Ringley in the buff as she went about her daily routine). One long-time Jennicam fan expressed regret at the site's demise: "In a sense I'd like to have maintained the surveillance for the rest of her lifeas a sociological experiment and a life-narrative art project." At her peak, Ringley claimed an average 100 million visitors per week. Maybe they all just found something better to do. (Washington Post 7 Dec 2003) APOLOGY TO HAITIANS FROM MAKERS OF GRAND THEFT AUTO. The video game company that makes Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which features dialogue urging players to "kill all the Haitians," has apologized to the Haitian community and promised to delete the offensive dialogue from new copies of the game. (New York Times 10 Dec 2003) http://partners.nytimes.com/2003/12/10/nyregion/10HAIT.html THE NEW ECONOMY IS BACK -- BUT NOT THE JOBS. The latest economic indicators -- rising productivity, fewer jobs -- could signal a vindication for all those IT managers who spent big bucks on technology improvements in the last decade, says Fortune columnist David Kirkpatrick: "We may be entering the second great technology boom. The first one, of the late '90s, was a boom in expectations, which pushed up stock valuations and investor enthusiasm in the belief that the new technologies born of the Internet would fundamentally transform the economyContrary to what over-eager investors thought in the '90s, the users of the technology, not the producers, will be the bigger beneficiaries." Comparing today's corporate processes with those existing the last time the U.S. emerged from a recession, there are striking differences. Today, most large manufacturers have built a significant, sophisticated enterprise resource planning (ERP) infrastructure to automate the supply chain and provide real-time data on inventory and profits. E-commerce is now routine -- both for manufacturing giants and for consumers. Communication among workers both within corporations and between companies is now automated via e-mail and Web portals, speeding the implementation of corporate edicts and the fulfillment of business orders. Meanwhile the casualty of all this efficiency has been jobs -- about 2 million eliminated in the last two years in the U.S. as companies streamline processes and outsource functions to overseas workers. And that's not likely to change, says Kirkpatrick, who warns, "To keep your job in this new world, you'd better be doing something that benefits from a digitized economy." (Fortune.com 4 Dec 2003) http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/12/04/fortune.ff.real.boom/index.html CONGRESS PASSES ANTI-SPAM BILL. Congress has passed anti-spam legislation that would supplant tougher anti-spam laws already passed in some states. The bill encourages the Federal Trade Commission to create a do-not-spam list of e-mail addresses and includes penalties for spammers of up to five years in prison. The legislation would prohibit senders of unsolicited commercial e-mail from disguising their identities by using a false return address or misleading subject line, and would require them to let recipients say they do not want future mass mailings.
