Tori Amos Video

Sony Music has the pieces for you to put together. Shane Ross has the story.
Looking for stories about professional creativity? About business? About technology? About interesting stuff we've found? The Creative COWBlogs are the place to look. Here's a perfect example. Shane Ross came across Sony Music's offer to build a new Tori Amos song using multicam and greenscreen footage that they've provided. Sony's even got a video tutorial that shows how those features work in Final Cut Pro! Here's Shane's report.

Some other recent stories you might have missed:

Walter is also tracking Leopard.
Here's a follow-up to Shane's article on safe upgrades.
Aharon Rabinowitz wonders, What is speech?
Here's part 1 of Mike Cohen's fall TV round-up.

Apple Final Cut Pro
You know you want to install OS X Leopard as soon as you can. For your production machine, though, you probably also know that you should wait.

Adobe After Effects
Building cinematic composites takes more than software. It takes careful planning, understanding the drama in every shot, and a sense of magic.

We've got the film here, along with some HD images from it. Prepare to be amazed.

Game-Changer
If we're lucky a few times a year we'll see something that will make a significant difference in the way we do business -- that will by its very usefulness change the game. The best example of this for me is 15 years ago when we added non-linear editing, and a year later when we added an early version of After Effects. The on-going evolution of both of these continues to change and improve our business. This year I can state without equivocation a new game changer is on the scene. It's called Media Batch...

AE cs3 and leopard - what concrete problem?
...Prior to that, members of ADC (Apple Developer Connection) had access to the latest Leopard betas, which functioned primarily the same as the shipping version. A few more bells & whistles that were removed, and a few more bugs were squashed before launch, but not that much changes at the core of a product in the last stages of a development cycle...

COW Tipping
The COW's New Services Offered directory!

You already know that the COW has all kinds of job listings, right? High-paying jobs, low-paying jobs and internships, and a place to post the jobs you want. We want to go you one better, so we've created a Services Offered directory. You can get there from the navigation submenu in any jobs forum.

Service Offered Bar

You can also get there from within your newly expanded Account Profile, at the bottom of the page. (By the way, if you're advertising your services, you really need to make sure your Account Profile is up to date.)

Services Offered Link

Looking for the most direct route to the Services Offered directory? Follow this link.

We've got an extensive list of services already, and you can appear in more than one category. There's even a button to add a new service if we're missing the one that fits you best!



Looking for the Home Page?

You can get to the COW Home Page from anywhere in the CreativeCOW.net website by clicking on Bessie in the very top left of the page
