Sam Nicholson: Stargate Effects Magnate
Part 1: Stargate Digital CEO talks about high end compositing, quality and efficiency
DMN Interview by Charlie White
Sam Nicholson's Stargate Digital creates special effects for fourteen network prime-time series, including ER, Dead Zone, Threat Matrix and CSI, using artistic teams in Los Angeles, Vancouver and London. They're all connected by an enormous data network with extraordinary bandwidth, linking together hundreds of ordinary PCs with a tight-knit army of the industry's best compositors, editors and artists at the controls. In part one of this interview with Digital Media Net's Charlie White, Stargate Digital President and CEO Nicholson talks about how Stargate is using Sony's new FDC 950 HD camera, and how his company uses a combination of off-the-shelf technology and proprietary innovations to evolve its remarkable postproduction efficiency.

One or the other? Or both?
by Charlie White
It's getting to be the best time of year here on the wind-swept prairie of the Midwestern US; it's Autumn in the land of Orson Welles, Frank Lloyd Wright and Houdini. It's a region where an auteur can architect a bustling video business, in a setting that is pure magic. When Fall comes around, it makes me think of what's falling and what's rising in the macrocosm of this Midwestern microcosm -- this highly competitive War of the Worlds that is the magical architecture of digital video editing. Specifically, what's the best way to speed up the editing workflow -- using hardware or software? Or both?

You'll have to decide for yourself if they're deal breakers. Here's our review.

MSI 865PE Motherboard
Put together your own dream machine
by Dennis Radeke
With all the real-time power in non-linear editing software these days, it's a great time to be looking at a new system to take advantage of it. Companies like Adobe, Avid and Pinnacle Systems are harnessing the power of your computer rather than using proprietary hardware, so it's more important than ever that you choose your computer system carefully.

Get Looped! (and make money doing it)
Apple's Soundtrack application
By Douglas Spotted Eagle
Sundance Media Group
Apple’s newest software offering in the multimedia world is known as "Soundtrack." Just as its name implies, Soundtrack is designed for creating music scores and bed pieces for a variety of purposes. In a time of copyright owners prosecuting even 12-year-old students for illegally using music and the video industry requiring some sort of access to legal audio, Soundtrack is a timely tool that allows video editors, DVD authors, Flash authors, musicians, and other multimedia aficionados to create stunning royalty-free musical pieces.
