What's that effect?

Hello,
Over the last couple of years I've been seeing an effect in feature films but I don't know how it is accomplished, I'll try to describe it.
The last dance number in "Chicago" used it, remember when Roxie Hart and Velma Kelley are dancing across the stage and the camera is dollying along? though the camera is moving smoothly there seems to be a jittery or almost hyper-real movement from the subjects. I saw it again in "Inside Man", this weekend, though the camera is still, the movement from the subjects has this hyper-real effect as if ever other frame were removed or something. I am sorry if this is a lame explanation but if anyone is familiar with this and knows how it's done I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
James

You mean like the intro in "Saving Private Ryan"? That is done with a narrow shutter angle - not sure how to do it in a video camera, but it is an in-camera effect and involves shortening the shutter-open time to greatly reduce motion blur...
Is that what you are referring to?

  • What's that effect with MIDI? How to make it works on Logic Pro?

    Hey guys,
    Look at this video at 6:00.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUsq16D7-KE&feature=uploademail
    How to make something like that on Logic? Guy uses Logic for sure, I watched other videos.

    Look at the time at 6:00. He does something (I don't know how to call it) with sliders on his Akai MPD. It's not a sample it is some effect in Logic, or some option in Logic which you can do with MIDI Controller.

  • Trojan or what? that effects trackpad

    I have a Macbook pro. Recently I was at a web site (a social site) and it asked that I input my email address to get further access into the site. I did this -- the screen said I would get permission to continue into the site in about 5 minutes. I figured a password would come in my email.  None arrived, but at this point my screen froze up.  I used force quit to get Safari to stop and to carry on, but my trackpad would not function correctly.  I fear a trojan, for lack of a better term, has been downloaded.
    The trojan makes applications and the computer hard to use.  That is because it makes it hard to use and control the pointer/cursor. It also will cycle me to the Launchpad without warning, then back to a web page, or other open application.  It is not always active.  Sometimes it seems very aggressive, with the pointer jumping around quickly, where it is almost impossible to control or use.  Later this problem will stop for minutes, allowing me to feel like it is no longer a problem. But it keeps coming back to the aggressive version.
    I would like to solve this.  Do I need to reload my operating system?  Can I find a process that I can stop?  If so, how do I delete a “bad” process? 
    The trojan does not seem to effect the functioning of applications. It just makes them hard to use. I can use my email, no one has reported getting problem email from me.
    I have run several different free softwares (ClamXav, Virus barrier Express, MacScan), but also Kaspersky trying to find the culprit.  No luck.
    If this thing got me it will get others.

    The actions you described are not being caused by any currently known malware and none of the software applications you ran will tell you any more about possible malware infection than a fully up-to-date version of the OS X that you are currently running.
    If you have Java installed on your MBP, I would recommend you keep it turned off in your browser unless you find one of the few web sites that still uses it, in which case turn it on for only the time it takes to complete your activities there.
    Also be alert for social engineering tricks. The worst thing that could happen by entering your e-mail address on a web site would be to increase the amount of junk / spam mail you receive. Just make certain you only use your admin password when you fully understand why and don't approve a certificate from a site or applications that you don't positively recognize.
    Try launching Safari with the option key down and if that doesn't help, select "Reset Safari..." from the Safari menu and work your way through the options starting with caches then cookies.

  • Wanna know what kind of effect that used on this video?

    wanna know what kind of effect that used in transformation in this video or can we  just crop the effect .

    That transformation is a result of careful planning, 3-D modeling, and layering. It is not just an effect. 3-D tracking, camera tracking, match moving, rotoscope, keying, and other effects can be used to create this kind of transformation. Without careful preproduction planning this kind of a shot/effect is nearly impossible.
    If you already knew that then what part of the transformation is giving you troubl?

    I'm trying to purchase printable ITunes cards -- which I've done in the past...no problem. Now a message reads: this Apple ID does not support this purchase....or something to that effect. What do I do?

    First of all, I think you are confused by something.
    You don't print cards. You print Certificates. So which item are we dealing with here first of all?
    Also, you can't buy gifts with just Store Credit, so do you have a linked CC?

  • What is the effect of INDEXING on Cube? and on DSO?

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out the effect of indexing on a Cube and DSO.
    1. My findings so far indicates that Indexing is a database concept but so is partition but partitioning applies in the case of a Cube. Right?
    2.What is the effect of Indexing on a cube? How is it related to the "database concept that I keep reading?
    How is it implement in BI?
    3.What is the effect of Indexing on a DSO? How is it related to the "database concept that I keep reading?
    How is it implement in BI?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for the detailed information. I will appreciate some help on these follow ups on your posting:
    On your answer to 1:
    I read that there are 2 partitions, logical and physical. It is the physical partitioning which takes place at the database level, so can I assume that when you said u201CEven DSO can be partitionedu201D you meant the physical partition? And that logical partitioning is not possible in DSOs?
    On your answer to 2:
    So in the above you suggested that indexes apply not only to cubes but also to DSO with the statement that u201C..secondary indexes can be built on DSO u2026u201D
    If so, how come there is not feature to drop and rebuild indexes for data load to DSOs?
    I will appreciate a hint on the difference between u201Cindexesu201D and u201Csecondary indexesu201D. I am ok with what u201Cindexesu201D is, is the use of u201Csecondaryu201D that threw me off.//
    On your answer to 3:
    i.
    Based on the link, there does not appear to be a simply way to drop and rebuild indexes in DSOs. It appears an ABAPer needs to be involved. Isnu2019t there a simply way as in cubes, to click on buttons for the index implementation for DSOs?
    ii.
    It suggests one must choose between B-tree and Bit map indexes, right? Is this the function of the BI consultant or as DBA? If the BI consultant should be able to do this, where is it implemented in BI?
    Can you explain what you meant by u201Ccardinality of a column is lowu201D?
    iii.
    I know how in rsa1, a Cube can be partitioned on 0calmonth and 0fisper. If this is done at the database level, then can it be done also for DSO? If so, where in BI is it done for DSOs?
    You also noted that SAP DB does not support table partitioning but Oracle does.
    I know in my environment, the BASIS consultants are always talking about Oracle so I am assuming we have Oracle and not SAP DB.
    I never heard of SAP DB, is it a substitute for Oracle in SAP BI environments?
    Is it a DB that comes directly from SAP; if so, why do companies not keep the total SAP package but prefer to use Oracle?  Is it because the SAP DB does not support table partitioning?
    Thanks

  • What are the effects on BW when R/3 system is down?

    Hi BW Experts,
    What are the effects on BW system, when R/3 systems are down for maintenance?
    And what care we need to take towards BW during the down time?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sunil.

    Hi Sunil,
    when R/3 system is down the BW daily loads & weekly loads will fail.
    the best solution is you can reschedule the job when R/3 is Up.
    You can cancel the running jobs by going through
    SM37 -- > select that particular job --> JOB (in menu bar) --> select released --> schedule option.

    You can also achieve this look by using an overlay of a 'film burn' effect.
    The overlay clip seems to have some hand-written 'Leader' included.
    Also, it does look like there's a bit of added 'Film Grain / Dust / Hair' efx
    created by some sort of 'Old Film' plugin.

  • HT1515 What is the effective range, in square foot, for AirPort Express?

    I wanna know what is the effective wifi range, in square foot, of Airport Express?

    Unfortunately, questions like this are really impossible to answer.
    The AirPort Express has an effective range of about 150 feet......so, if the Express is located in the middle of a large aircraft hanger, with no obstructions in the signal path in any direction, then you could expect the signal from the Express to cover about 71,000 square feet.
    But, chances are, your home is constructed a bit differently.
    Without knowing the exact layout of your home...and the exact construction type of your home....the type of insulation used in the walls, how many floors you have, and countless other variiables.....it would be impossible to guess whether a signal Express would be adequate for your use, if that is what you are asking.
    To give you an example, my home is about 2400 square feet, single level. It tekes three (3) AirPort routers to get good coverage throughout the house and out to the patio area. Your home might require more, or less.

    Finally getting around to this again. My previous post is incorrect, as the code I am using is based on the single period measure (it's right there in the code). I am having a problem with the values returned with this method. Occasionally, the card will return a lower than expected count, resulting in a very large (and incorrect) RPM value. I'm thinking this must have something to do with arming the counter at some unfortunate and coincidental point on the gate signal, resulting in a short count. It must be an unlikely event, because I get thousands of good, consistent values for every one bad one.
    To resolve this, I am thinking of going to the single buffered period measurement as suggested above. My idea is to set up a buffer with two values,
    and always take the second one (to avoid coincidental arming and short counts). I could also set it up to return more values, and the application could choose the most likely one (ie return three values, throw out the largest and smallest, etc.)
    I would rather just use the buffer in continuous mode, since the RPM varies much more slowly than the counter counts, and any snapshot of the buffer at any time would be sufficient, even in the presence of overwriting, etc. This would allow me to arm the counter once and poll it on the fly.
    My concern is that in continuous mode, the counter will be throwing a lot of errors which will interefere with the program flow. Can I just set the counter to suppress all errors when I do a buffered read? Worst case, I get a value as it is being written to by the counter, which will have some garbage value (hopefully a recognizable signature) which I can throw out in favor of the other values.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].
