Few days ago Adobe announced that Flash Player and Adobe AIR for Android will be available soon. It will be first public beta, but I think it will be really good stuff. Finally we will have a chance to see how it works in real life. You can sign up here to be notified when public beta of Flash Player 10.1 will be available. For AIR 2.0 go here.
You can see how AIR will work on mobile devices below. Nice video from Kevin Hoyt.

I’m pretty sure, most of you watch videos on the Internet. For example pages like youtube, vimeo, or if we are talking about movie trailers, who doesn’t know Apple site? Currently your browser needs a plugin to play embedded video content. Sometimes it’s Adobe Flash Player, sometimes QuickTime player. But it’s still another program, that you need to install to watch videos. Maybe it isn’t a huge problem for users to install it but how many times I heard complaining about speed, navigation or performance problems. That’s why it’s good time to try something new.
The next release of HTML – HTML 5 includes new audio and video tags. I will focus on the new <video> tag. Yes, now we have opportunity to simple embed our video on the web page simply by using tag, just like we using <img>, ok it’s almost the same. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t work everywhere, but we still have alternative ways to embed video, like I said before Flash or QuickTime.
Let’s start, we will make our first movie to embed it in new tag. For example we can use simple Firefox plugin, called Firefogg. After installing we can start encoding our video. On the main page you will find link: “Make Ogg Video”. Choose you file, after that you will see a few section, when you can customize your encoding process. I won’t describe here all options, I think everybody can handle that without any problems. After that click “Save Ogg” to save your new ogg video. Encoding process will start. When this process is complete you will see ogg version of your video.
Now it’s the moment to embed this video on your webpage, don’t worry, It’s really simple. All you need to do it’s to use this code:
<video src=”your_video.ogv” controls=”controls”>Your browser does not support the video tag!</video>
After that you should see your movie in special player, different in different web browser. You can always go back and play with options in Firefogg to create the best video file, quality versus file size.
Here you can see our small example:
I show you the basics of this whole process, for more information you should go here.
You can also go to Vimeo and see it live in big project. For some movies you can switch to HTML5 player (instead of Flash). Just click link, lower right under movie. And you can decide what is the best for you right now.

In a male fellowship in Zylin, proving ground and endurance limit of pillars produced by Kromiss-Bis. The effects – stunning, effects of cameramen’s work – to be seen hereunder.
11-minute-long movie, addressed to customers and investors, shows step by step stages of pillar designing and production, as well as methods of mounting logistics of a few dozen meters high construction and breaking and curving trials of mentioned above.
Uniqueness of this kind of movies requires technical attitude and engineers’ support. There is no place for gimmicks or mental abbreviations. Some things just have to be said, written and presented. Then, you have to watch the entire film to see what it really is about. I especially recommend part from 3rd minute (in this place special thanks for Longer for his never-ending visual sensitivity).

We went OTT with … the blog break, giving up contact with world, lack of holiday break. It was open-air-like, engineering-like and experimental-like in Chanów, Częstochowa and Slovakia. First part of compound video service project for Kromiss-Bis – done. This is the version of image spot that can be used on fairs, conferences and during meetings with customers – this is starting point for the implementation of the main movie presenting the dynamically developing leader in steel supporting construction branch (in brief – pillars, lanterns, masts and tracts).
Five shooting days (all in all, for two productions from the project) we spent in production halls, office and proving ground. All this is going to be useful in creating the series of spots of different use and coverage. Two out of all main video implementations we’re going to use as an element of internet campaign promoting company’s products and services. The rest will be used for canvassing investors and establishing internal relationship with customers. We’re going to have lots of work, but we can already share first effects of our work and photos from the set.
To the ChiliDers Team, in the never-failing manning, joined Hubert and Arek. Alas, there was not enough film for them, so they stay invisible for a while (we’ll make it up…).

Recently started cooperation with Kromiss-Bis is blooming.
Shooting days for two film implementations are in train, editing of another one in progress, and photogs-ChilidErs work in aid of additional task we were challenged by the new customer.
We make photo documentation of Kormiss-Bis production and products: we show pillars, masts and other supporting constructions in stopped frames.
Although it seems that our passion about movies blots out our focus on photography, we employ our equipment and knowledge without discussion about the superiority of movable picture to the unmovable one.
Effects will be available in catalogs, offers, presentations and on the website of Kromiss-Bis.

We spend July heat in the chilly headquarters working on new projects.
Again, IBM Poland placed their confidence in us and charged us with the production of video reference concerning the user of Lotus Software. Personnel of Atlas Group talk about the properties, advantages and capabilities of Lotus – each one from his own point of view – thanks to this we included many aspects of the new software in 3-minute-spot.
In order to boost the dynamism of the movie we filmed each utterance from three points (two cameras and Canon EOS 5D Mark II). During postproduction we added startup animation and motion tracking inscription/legend 2D.
Spot will be available soon in two-languages version.
It’s time to have a glance at the first “export” of soute material:

ChiliDers went to Open’er. We slept in/on/by the Land Rovers. We enjoyed the atmosphere and music.
In one moment, after the rampage on The Prodigy’s gig, I realized, with any certainty, how fast (not to overwhelm) is the development of everything relevant to media, how fast everything becomes open, available and easy (seemingly I knew about it, but still…)
You cannot imagine how long I looked for, waited and snooped around to find uncensored version of “Smack My Bitch Up” – one of the best clips ever – controversial and original in terms of realization, which was a great achievement in those days (even today, by the way…).
It was nor simple also with the censored version…how come, I was grown-up, I was allowed!
And today?
And today it will do to search in You Tube. Both versions and all variations on theme… You just have to… log in and recall satisfaction from coming by those materials.
P.S. It’s worth seeing the hype surrounding the access to this clip on CLIPTIP that took place only 4 years ago.

The idea is very simple: it should be joyfully and not trivially with a short time of realization and very reasonable budget. So we bet on the most precious assets of Britam Language School – on students and teachers, friendly atmosphere and fantastic engagement of children.
This is why on the first day we have been watching and have been watched, we gave ourselves and the main characters of events the time to find their own feet, become accustomed to the camera and the team.
Next two days is still growing will of cooperation and our making use out of it.
Advertising video that is being developed will be a part of a smartened up image of the School and will be integrated with a newly created www SJO Britam. Ready final effect of the total realization will be presented just before starting a new school year.
Until now it’s only “filth”, that is boisterously speaking “making of”:
PS Thanks to Marek Lisowski for his uncommon openness and engagement in the whole lot of production.

Weekends are about staring, pensivity, recollection and looking at movies. Even if those weekends are not long or off, they are always a great opportunity to have a movie marathon from dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn or in every other configuration you wish.
Of course, the best way is to reach the mixed repertoire – coming from the different sources and movie stables, but… you can also devote this time to something that you saw several, dozens, hundreds of times, especially insofar as directors whose movies are extremely various and are all great.
One man’s garbage is another man’s art, so I don’t raise a question for discussion. I just encourage you to watch those, to whom I often revert (maybe not as often as to the bearded Kubrick, but still…) – to two charmingly humble brothers, whose head are full of popping out ideas completely disjunctive to their appearance, to this is self-sufficient director, producer and screenwriter with two bodies and one surname :) and to their associates (almost always the same) with rare tact and touch.
It’s nice to see those scenes…

The next problem with after effects, again you didn’t reach intended result, and again you can’t animate subtitles, you have to show in your project a falling meteorite that destroys half of the city… yeah, everybody playing with post-production or visual effects sometimes has such problems. What do I do then? I’m starting to look for a suitable tutorial. Where? On www.videocopilot.net. Yes, tutorials prepared by Andrew Kramer appear really helpful and, in my case, are even a little bit inspiring. What’s more, you can order on this web-page DVD with materials, filters and additions to AE and all tutorials collected on DVD.
