The joy of watching a movie under the stars seemingly ended with the closing of once popular drive in theaters. But this isn't so. The urban core of many American cities have been energized with summer outdoor film events. A recent article by Los Angeles Time's writer Shawn Hubler, explores a growing trend in using urban open spaces for the community viewing of movies. Hubler writes, "In Silicon Valley, dot-commers were rigging up after-hours movies with DVDs, laptops and office PowerPoint projectors. Ad hoc "micro-cinemas" were appearing in bars, on college campuses and on rooftops in Los Angeles and New York. At the same time, equipment was becoming more powerful and cheaper, from projectors to massive inflatable screens from Europe that could be blown up on site. Ideas spread on the Internet and via word of mouth." Now there are outdoor showings on "Main Streets and in warehouse districts, in Rust Belt cities and in Sun Belt suburbs." Some city governments, such as San Francisco, Washington D.C.and Baltimore have seen outdoor movies as an opportunity to create a sense of community and re-energize inner city participation in urban renewal. Check out the Outdoor Cinema Network to learn more. The BBC is saluting the last flight of Concord last Friday. Take a QuickTime virtual tour of the Concord. Listen to informative commentary by clicking on the highlighted areas in the plane. What's amazing is how little room there is in this aircraft.Even more amazing is how much people will pay to travel faster than sound. I recently found a recommendation by former Proscenia Intern Ache Hernandez that seems as relevant today as when it was printed in an e-mail posting to staff. He suggested that students explore design techniques used in "Rust Boy", a film under development by Brian Taylor. The Taylor site continues to provide a wealth of information about what goes into making of an animated film. A wealth of material can be found about the drawing of detailed storyboards to undertaking trial animation experiments. This is a valuable site to experience a work in progress.
While checking online movie previews, take a look at the sample scenes and creator commentary from the WB hit series"Smallville," featuring the life and times of the youthful Superman and his adopted family, the Kents. There is a nice presentation of storyboard concept and actual filmed scenes. It is getting to difficult to tell the difference between computer generated human images and the photographs of real people. Take a look at these three pages recommended by Proscenia Affiliate Keith Legg: (01), (02), and (03). Keith notes that these were most likely done in 3D Studio Max and rendered using the Brazil Rendering System. I received this informative posting from UO College of Education Network and Information Systems Manager Mary Harrsch and thought I would pass it on. "Many of us use for our web research and now Google has added a rather nifty new feature. If you conduct a search for a word preceded by the word define (such as define hegemony – don’t use any quotes), Google will return a definition it has found on a website along with a list of all other definitions it found on the web. Below the definition it will list the usual search results for the word hegemony. If you want just the definitions, use a colon (define :hegemony). Unlike some of the more succinct definitions you often get using a web site like http://www.dictionary.com, definitions from websites using the word in context are often much more extensive." MAIL BAG: It is always good to hear from readers. Here are two recent postings: "Enjoying the weekly newsletter.Also, the new format with link and quick overview of topics covered is great and very helpful. Thanks again." R.R. "Upon initial review, your magazine is great! Extremely well designed, easy to read and lots and lots of interesting articles. I love the little mini movies. Thanks. I'm looking forward to future issues." J.M. GF ()

Proscenia video affiliate, and UO Senior Journalism Major, Nat Flynn-Ryan had a unique opportunity to be a Production Assistant on a film being shot in the Portland area. Here is his, "What I did this summer," story. I had a keen idea that it would be rewarding to find an internship, preferably one that was paid. I searched and searched, one day stumbled over an posting at oregonfilm.org. It was very vague, but what it did say was that a film production from L.A. was coming to Estacada, (east of Portland) and they needed unpaid interns because the budget was so low. So, I submitted my resume and after two interviews I was asked to come back and help out as a production assistant/intern. The first week was spent at the office and in my car, running errands and making phone calls for the production coordinators. I later found out that it was a period for them to figure out if they wanted me to work on the set. The next week I was assigned to be one of six production assistants, and for the remaining 4 weeks (26 days) I was on the set an average of 12-16 hours a day. It wasn't easy work, either. A production assistant's job (ref.1) (ref.2) is to essentially do whatever no one else wants to do: carry equipment, set up lunch tables and tents, run errands, help with catering, and help lock off the set by keeping it quiet and still. The movie is called Mean Creek, and the release date as stated on imdb.com is in February, so I'd look for it around then. It's the story of a bunch of high school and middle school kids who decide to revenge the beating of one of the boy's younger brothers (Rory). Their plan goes awry, however, and you'll have to watch the movie to see what I mean. I have the feeling it is going to be a really brilliant picture. The director, Jacob Aaron Estes, is just a beginner as this is his first full length feature. He is also the writer. The movie was subsidized by White Water films, which is owned by , the executive producer. The other producers were Susan Johnson and Hagai Shaham, both really nice people. Everyone on the set was great to hang out with, and overall it was an incredibly fun experience. I would easily do it again. Hopefully next time I will get paid Editors Note: Taking advantage of opportunities, as Nat did this summer, is one way to get your foot in the door. Finding unique networking opportunities facilitate one's securing additional work in the future. |

Microsoft's new Office 2003 software, set to debut on Tuesday, will include an e-mail feature that can be used to time-stamp messages, directing them to delete themselves on a certain date. In addition, senders will be able to restrict forwarding and printing of messages by the recipient. The new Information Rights Management software could run into opposition from U.S. regulators, who view destroying e-mail as on a par with shredding documents. Earlier this year, Morgan Stanley was fined $1.65 million for failing to keep e-mail records, despite the company's claim that it due to oversight rather than a deliberate attempt to evade financial investigation. (BBC News 19 Oct 2003) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3205080.stm INTERCEPTING E-MAIL IS A CRIME. An Arizona woman was sentenced to 60 days of home detention for intercepting at least 215 e-mail messages directed to her husband's ex-wife. Law enforcement officials said Angel Lee fraudulently obtained the ex-wife's user name and password, allowing her to log in and read mail. Ex-wife Duongladde Ramsey said Lee's actions were comparable to breaking into her house and reading her diary, and the judge agreed, saying Lee's penalty is a warning to others who might be tempted to spy on others' e-mail accounts. "Privacy is still a cherished value," said U.S. District Judge Richard P. Matsch. (AP 19 Oct 2003)http://apnews.excite.com/article/20031019/D7U97UCG0.html

I had big plans for this past summer. After 2 years since my first trip to Italy, I was going to return and study Italian, hopefully to reach the point of fluency. But after a disappointing offer of financial aid that dream was out, and I was left trying to figure out what I would do.
