Looking for some more experience...

Hi,
I've had a interest in video for some time now and am looking for more opportunities to learn the craft than I can get from the various books and tutorial materials. I have shot some local event video but I work full time and going out and getting jobs is difficult. To that end, I'm hoping to locate someone in the Western MA or Northern CT areas who could use an occasional assistant to help out a shoot. I have my own equipment and basic editing facillities. Please feel free to contact me via my profile e-mail.

OWC has the Drobo for what seems like a good price (for a Drobo), and it is empty.

A Drobo is like a RAID, except the data is redundantly stored using fancy built-in software, so you don't have to back it up to another location or worry about losing data if one drive fails. You can get more details at
http://www.drobo.com/
OWC sells most of their enclosures as a kit, where you add your own drive(s).

  • Looking for some more voltage love K9N4-SLI

    Maybe one of you fine folks can help a brother out on a bios.  I have the 1.51 bios for my K9N4 SLI-F board, and the one thing that's holding me back is a little more voltage out of my ram, and possibly a smidge on the north bridge.  Is it possible to modify the bios so I can up the ram voltage?  I'm running a 5000+ BE and I have plenty of cooling to keep the rig cool.  I'm using 2x2gig sticks of GSKill pc6400  F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ and a little more voltage would probably go a long way.  Thanks in advance.

    Again, this board is invaluable. You got me from 3000 to 3150, and I can probably keep going.  Raised my ram to 2, northbridge and processor up .5.  Running VERY cool, running VERY stable, thanks!

  • Looking for some assurances that I haven't made a mistake switching to Mac.

    Bought an intel-powered IMac 9 days ago and love everything about it's look, functionality, etc.. Only problem: I've had a bout of "Application has closed unexpectedly" occcurrances while using Safari (while at AOL.com deleting emails from aol account) and while editing pics in iPhoto. As this happened time and again, I got a sad, sinking feeling that I'm headed for the same frustrations that I've had w/ every Windows machine I've ever owned. Ugh!..I switched to Apple for the specific purpose of avoiding crashes!!! Apple support walked me through steps to fix (removed/updated Quicktime, and check a few other things..). They were very helpful, but... I absolutely detest having to do this. Other than Office:Mac, i've added nothing to this machine! I'm really stressed about this. I paid far more for this than I would have for a Windows machine simply because I had heard that Apple machines don't do this sort of thing!!
    Please tell me that this is normal and expected with a new machine and not a harbinger of more complicated problems to come!! I'm hoping that once resolved, I won't much more of this.. On the other hand, if many of you feel that this issue is a bad omen, I'll take the machine back while I still can. ..What a pity though, it's truly been a joy to use so far.

    Hi syd123! And Welcome to Discussions!
    No you haven't made a mistake! You will love your Mac!
    Deleting AOL Mail, crashes Safari (Consolidation)
    It seems the most recent Safari, and or 10.4.4, update has created this problem.
    Apple & AOL are both aware of this, but, as far as I know, no correction has been implemented.
    Here are some of the work arounds, that I have been able to discern from the various posts regarding this issue.
    Use the FIREFOX BROWSER.
    Use your AOL Mail program.
    Use this utility AOL SERVICES ASSISTANT, to set up Apple Mail, to access AOL Mail.
    Access the AOL Mail thru Classic AOL Webmail.
    And here are links, to the various threads, discussing this issue.

  • Looking for some advice.

    Hi. Hope this is right forum. First post. A brief background. Years ago (2007-2008) I created a web portfolio for school. First it was in HTML (Dreamweaver) and then Flash. I hadn't really touched it in years and decided this past couple of months, after playing in the medium again, to get back into wed design, 3d, and digital content creation. That said, I went in and updated both the HTML and Flash versions with the knowledge I currently have, limited though it is. I now would like to go forward and build a completely new site and teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and WebGL along the way (possibly before hand). Hopefully I'll get working on the new site before the end of the year. In the mean time, I'm using my old site as a stop-gap measure. I've also taken books out from the library to begin journey into the above mentioned languages.
    This all said, I'm looking for some advice on what direction I should go next...look into... Does my current objective seem reasonable? Also, could anyone give feedback on what I did wrong and what I've done right on my old site. I think, as far as what went wrong, the Flash page is just too large. No one wants to wait so long for it to load. I think I got carried away with it. Also, too many sound effects. That said, I think the HTML site was constructed in an "old-fashion" way. No one makes sites like that anymore. I basically set it up in Photoshop, sliced it, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. The end result is a bunch of tables in HTML? A friend suggested I look into a CMS (?) like WordPress?
    Here's my current site: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mstingle/
    Constructive feedback on what I did right and wrong would be great. And, where I should be looking next for rebuild of my portfolio.
    Cheers.

    WebGL is still  experimental.  Most browsers don't fully support it yet.
    http://caniuse.com/webgl
    The current trend is Responsive Web Design -- layouts that work in all devices (mobile, tablet and desktop).  This technology relies on CSS layouts (no tables) with media queries for different viewport widths.  Below is a crude example built with the FluidGrid Layouts feature in DW CS6 or CC:
    http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html  -- resize your browser's viewport to see it in action.
    Flash is dead on the web now because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices don't support it.  Animations are mostly being built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.  See Adobe Edge Animate.
    If you're not a skilled coder and just want a basic static web site, Adobe Muse might be all you need.  http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html   That said, Muse cannot support server-side programming so you can't use it for advanced features like CMSs, blogs, etc...
    If you're a Creative Cloud member, you can use Behance & ProSite to build & share your portfolio online.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/behance-community.html
    http://prosite.com/
    In terms of your own site, ask yourself how much content & which features it will need to support in the coming months/years.  If it's going to be a relatively small site (under 20 pages), a static HTML site is probably all you need.  IMO, WordPress -- a dynamic CMS built with PHP & MySql databases -- would be overkill.  However, if you plan to make your site into a  blog for example, then a dynamic CMS is an option to consider.  WordPress isn't the only kid on the block either.  There's also Drupal, Joomla!, and many more...

  • Looking for some VPN advice on c7200 and possible serious problem

    Hi all,
    I am looking for some advice on how to figure out few things.

    I'd make sure to read the contract and any associated fine print really, really carefully before doing this. But back to your question - this is more of a marketing question and I'd suggest hiring a good marketer (or become one) to make the most of this opportunity.
    And how do you find a good marketer?
    I'd suggest using Seth Godin (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/) as your guide/model. If the person you want to hire knows and follows Seth's good marketing advice, you'll likely do very well. If they don't know who Seth Godin is and are obsessed with SEO rankings and email blasts, I'd be very worried (that's not to say SEO rankings and email blasts are "wrong" but that they shouldn't be the only options in your marketing approach).
    Good luck!

  • Looking for some RAW + JPEG Workflow suggestions

    I'm looking for some suggestions on how best to organize my workflow now that I've started shooting with RAW +JPEG. I previously shot only in RAW, but the time spent in post-production was killing me. I've realized that for 95% of my shots that already have the correct exposure, white balance, etc, a JPEG photo is really all I need and saves me a ton of time. I've become convinced that editing every single photo from a shoot in RAW is overkill. I want to have the RAW versions, however, to rescue that occasional great shot where I unfortunately miffed the settings.
    Through reading other posts here and experimenting, I've found that Aperture basically defulats to showing me only the imported RAW photos and that I need to click "New Version from Master JPEG" to see the JPEG version. This seems counterintuitive to the workflow I'd like to establish though. (i.e. I'm thinking it would be nice to see only the JPEG versions, and then only bring up the RAW version when the photo needs some serious correction).
    I suppose I could highlight the entire batch of imported photos and select "New Version from Master JPEG" and then sort through each RAW/JPEG stack, but I'm still hoping there's a less cumbersome way. Anyone out there have any good workflow suggestions for this issue? I'm curious how other people out there deal with this issue in their workflow.
    Thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: Nate Cannon

    Try this - I do this as a matter of course:
    -select all of the photos after importing them into a project
    -create a new album from selection/call it JPG
    -with all of the images still selected create new version from master JPEG. all of these should now be the album pick
    -close all stacks, the JPEG will be the one showing up on top for that album.

  • Looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free

    looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free or even paid will work.

    I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers.  I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time.  I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it.  As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you  cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
    The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince.  I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
    As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped.  For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc.  I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

  • Looking for some RAID storage ideas...can anyone help?

    Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations out there. I'm going to be getting a new PowerMac tower with a cinema display and will also be looking to get some RAID-type storage for it so that I can do lots of video editing and photo storage.
    Ideally, I'd like to get a rack-type storage with swappable drives much like the XServe RAID but I don't need it to have server capabilities like the XServe does, i.e. I'm not going online with anything. This is purely going to be working as an external storage tower that two adjeacent computers will be directly firewired to.
    Obviously, the XServe would fit this, but like I said, I don't need the computer/server capability and also would not want to spend $6000 just for a single TB of storage that the XServe has. I'm thinking more along the lines of a swappable drive rack system like the old Avid systems used to have 10 years ago. Does anyone know if Apple makes such a thing? Or if any third party companies do?
    Thanks.

    If you are using typical DV cameras you don't need striped RAID to capture the video or edit it either. And striped means you lose one drive you lose two drives worth of data.
    The LaCie Bigger and Biggest disks may be suitable solutions, they are hardware RAIDed internally and come in 1 and 1.5TB models, using FW 800 they are plenty fast for video.

  • Looking for some suggestions

    Hello, Just looking for some web developers/designer's to give some suggestions on window managers that may be suited to your profession more so than others, maybe highlight the pro's/con's if you could. I guess what I am really trying to decipher is which window manager is best suited for a web developer/designer, there seems to be a wealth of options to choose from. Thanks

    But /dev/zero is correct, these type of threads usually devolve into endless opinions, flame wars, along with a pinch of trolling, and some company usually gets slandered. 
    I've read the script -- in the end, it comes down to just try them until you find the tools you like.
    ah sorry, my intention was never to start a silly flame war. I am going to spend some time trying out tiling WM's other than Xmonad, It's kind of annoying since I'm forced to use win7 at work, and the contrast between work->home is quite large.
    If you like tiling, try the "plug.n" autohotkey script/app on your work windows box. Does a very good job - or at least as good as is possible.
    There is a limitation if you need to use stuff like VMs. But this is getting a bit OT, so i'll leave it at that .

  • Multiple ipad Carrying case? Looking for some form of a case where elementary students can transport 20 ipads safely up or down staircases

    I am a teacher and my building just purchased a set of 25 ipad 2s.  I am looking for some form of a carrying case where a teacher or students can take 20-25 ipads from the iPad storage cart and carry it to the classroom.  Some classrooms are on the second floor so something that would hold them safely would be great. Thanks for the help!!

    Check out the carts on this page.  Great ways to spend taxpayer dollars!
    http://www.apple.com/education/labs/
    An Apple iPad Learning Lab streamlines the management of classroom sets of iPad devices. Each lab includes 10 iPad devices and a sturdy and secure mobile cart. The cart can store, charge, and sync up to 30 iPad devices and has room for a MacBook computer. The cart rolls easily around campus, so multiple classes can benefit, and it can be locked to secure the devices when they’re not in use. For even more iPad portability, the Bretford PowerSync Tray can charge, sync, store and secure up to 10 iPad devices at once and is available only through Apple.
