How they create the cinematic look (Basic Film Question)

Just wondering how real cinema is done with digital cameras. Is it filters, or their cameras, or programs which clean the colors and image up, like After Effects, or all of the above? Seeing all digital movies like "Inland empire" was a little disappointing because the digital look is, well, TOO realistic.
Traditional film in most movies for the last two decades always has the same feel, where it's not familiar enough to resemble a home movie, but close enough that you can identify with it.
Anyways, I'm just pondering the potentials of my low budget and access to these great programs, such as FCP and AE, and I wanted to know if it is indeed possible to create what we see from modern films with our humble means. Phew.
thanks.

I think it comes down to a couple of things. Film has grain. (but you could add that to the RED shots an get it that way if that's what you want).
The other thing that will replace film is plain dollars and sense. You can buy 24 RED One setups with the cost savings of a major motion picture's film stock/processing/telecine costs. With the general public not being able to tell the difference (heck most of them can't tell the difference between video and film now), Hollywood is gonna take those savings. They already are actually... there are many films right now in production using RED ONE... and if it makes the bucks that a film shoot does, trust me, producers are going to start wanting RED shoots instead of 35...
The situation reminds me a lot of the time when Hollywood editors wouldn't touch an Avid, because they said they "needed" to feel the freaking celluloid. PLEEZE... the real reason was they were computer illiterate and quite frankly, they were too lazy to get up to speed. It wasn't until the younger editors began to get it that Avid began to take hold in motion picture production. Took years for this in fact. The same thing is going on right now with DP's and RED. I think it scares them a bit and there's that old "film is better than video" thing that still pervades.
Content is king. Doesn't matter what you shot on.

How to create the plastic look in an image

Hi there, I have seen so many times images that seem to look
like plastic or they look as if the item is real. it is because it
has a shadow behind it and the surface seems to look slightly
curved giving it that 2d 3d effect.
I understand how to do the background, which is just a
shadow, but not the face.
I have included a link to a few sites that have this as an
example.
Can anyone let me know if this can be done in Fireworks and
if so what is it called?
I call it the Microsoft look.
http://www.atollorecords.com/index.php
this page has it at the top of the page, in this one they have set
it as a two tone look, but each tone seems to have a curve to it.
IMPORTANT: please put your speaker volume down because their music
plays everytime you load the page.

When you apply a (linear) gradient to an object there will be
a line with two endpoints. The square endpoint changes the
direction and length of the gradient. The circular endpoint moves
the whole gradient. By moving the square relative to the circle,
you can change the direction of the gradient. By changing the
length of the line, you can change how much of your object has
gradient. If you stretch the line so it extends farther than your
object, then only that portion of your gradient will be applied to
your object. If you shrink the line so it has less extent than your
object, then only part of your object will have the gradient and
the remainder, outside the line, will have the two endpoint colors.
It's quite flexible, really. :)

How to get the cinematic look with FCE 4?

I have an hdr-sr 10 camera with avchd and am using FCE 4.
How or what are the steps I need to take to get that film or cinematic look? Is there a special combination of filters I need to use? Is there a setting on the camera I need to use as well?
Mike

Light the scene carefully.
Turn off detail enhancement on the camera.
Never zoom; move the camera instead--using a home-made dolly, for example.
Try to set up your shots to decrease depth of field,
by setting your aperture to the smallest number (f1.8)
and keeping your optical zoom maxed out--if possible.
Use zebra stripes; never overexpose.
Shoot multiple takes from different angles.
Get your microphone close to the talent.
Turn off auto-focus and auto-exposure.
Turn on Progressive Shutter Mode.
Use a tripod to make sure your establishing shots are rock steady.
Edit without dissolves, unless you're showing the passage of time.
Check out whether these filters will work with FCE4:

Go to Ken Stone's site, and scroll down to Film Look:

How to create the "300" Movie Effect in FCP

Would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me how to create the 300 movie look in Final Cut Pro. I've scoured the Interwebs for a tutorial with no luck.

I think it's not as hard as people think, it just looks intimidating because there are no popup windows. Everything in the interface is on the top of the rooms. Just think if FCP had things this way...
I learned to use color in a class in Cupertino (I'm a certified trainer in Color and FCP) but gotta say, it's just not "Mac-like" in it's interface. It was originally written for Unix as was Shake, so they look similar... but they really aren't that hard to learn. The certified training course in Color is only a 2 day affair. I could teach anybody color on a one on one in one day. Doesn't make them a colorist just as learning FCP doesn't make them an editor... but the buttons? yep 1 day.
FCPs full training is 8 days for full level 2 certification, and even then, it doesn't cover everything you could do in FCP...
I teach a 15 week course in FCP and STILL don't have time to teach it all. So what's easier to learn? Color.

Hi
I have requirement of creating the wizards.
i have seen the help of the sap site in the followin url.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/930817a5051d6be10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
This link has not explained how to create the wizard project in NWDS.
It has explained that
Each wizard contains a wizard component, whose Java class extends AbstractWizard. This class is descended from AbstractPortalComponent, making the wizard a standard iView that can be displayed in the portal administration pages.
AbstractWizard requires you to implement one method, setupWizard(), which is passed an IConfigurableWizard object. In this method, the wizard does the following:
My basic question or like
Which component need to be choose in nwds to create the wizards?
In document it has given that , The class need to be extend the AbstractWizard class. so do I need to create the plain java class or AbstractPortalComponent.
The steps which are given is really confusing.
Can anybody have step by step creating of wizard develpment and deployment is available?
Pelase help me to finish my task.
I saw in the sap help document , the following .jar file is essential for developing the wizards ,How to download or get the following jar file

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two as Chris has already described above is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Please update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "914824".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I am going to have over 50 buttons in a page, Why? This would be a most unusual UI paradigm. I've never seen such a page, which suggests that whatever you want to do is normally done another way. Please explain the requirement in more detail.
just wanted to know if its possible to do something like this in java.
Java is not used in programming APEX UI behaviour. Java and JavaScript may share initial syllables, but they are not closely related.
It's possible to achieve a great deal in JavaScript, but a clear definition of the requirements is necessary. Do you mean the buttons should be dynamically generated? If so, yes, this is possible in JavaScript. What would drive the process?
Also, i would like to have dynamic action on it, for example, when the button is pressed, fill a string of text into other items(text field) within the page. Without more detail its not possible to make any specific suggestions. For example, I certainly would not want to create 50+ individual dynamic actions relating to different buttons.

How to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?

how to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?
I have installed a new iplanet Directory Server 5.2 on a win2k box, named "vp.com1.com"
When I installed this server, it helped me to create a new Directory server instance with the default realm "dc=com1,dc=com".
I could log on console and found root node, which is "com1.com"
expanded this root node, I got a tree as following:
"com1.com" -> "vp.com1.com" -> "server group" -> "Directory Server(VP)"
Then open "Direbory Server(VP)" -> click tab "Directory"
Got a tree as following:
vp.com1.com(389) --> dc=com1,dc=com
o=NetscapeRoot
Now I wanna create a new entries, which is "dc=com2,dc=com"
How to do?
I had checked almost all the related doc but failed to get the valuable info.
Would you like to do me a favour? Or forward me some reference?
Because I'm a new guy for iplanet Directory Server, would you pls me the help in detail.
This task is very urgent for me, so really appreciate your early help!

Look on page 87 of the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 Administration Guide. The section "Creating a New Root Suffix Using the Console" should give you step-by-step instructions.

Hi how to create Mac os look and feel??

hi
please tell me how to create Mac os look and feel.
thx.

I've heard about a Skin look and feel, but I've never used it. Maybe you should look into that. It would probably be the easiest way to create a custom look and feel, but you won't automatically be able to use Aqua unless you're on a Mac. Sorry.

How to create the Queues

Please find the below scenarios
1) R/3(A system ) -
>Client PI--->Server PI---->File1
2) R/3(B system) -
>Client PI--->Server PI---->File2
In the above scenario the data transfer between through HTTS soap communications. While receiving the data at Server PI end, we have used the QOS=EOIO and we have used the Queue XBQI_22. This Queue has been used for the First scenario.
Here my doubt is, shall i use the same Queue for the 2nd scenario also? If I can, who will create the Queues( means Queues will be created by PI Developer or Basis Person).
If possible plz provide me the steps, how to create the Queues.

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.
http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/exej/
http://www.objects.com.au/products/jstart/index.jsp
http://www.duckware.com/products/javatools.html
http://www.ucware.com/jexec/
http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/
http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.

Teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using Adobe After Effects

I need to create a memorial video for a loved one that passed away. Can someone teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using AE? here is the video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4191kcW07f0 . Thanks

I'll give a very brief overview but, presuming that you are new to After Effects, understanding and executing on this overview will require learning the basics of After Effects.
You'll be creating a 3D scene based on a few 3D layers: one each for the floor and each wall. Each of those 3D layers will be a precomposition layer; the wall layer with the pictures will be based on a precomposition in which you have placed your pictures as individual layers. You will create some 3D lights shining down from above. You'll create a 3D camera that you will then animate to move down the hallway.
As I said, that is a very brief overview. Understanding each of those pieces will require some learning. After Effects is not a simple application, so you do need to be prepared to put in some learning time if you are going to do this yourself. Here is the place to start: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
All that said, I would recommend that you hire someone to do this for you. Learning a new and complex creative application under the time pressure (and other pressure) that you are under may be too much to ask.
