If you're a fan of reality television, then you've no-doubt seen pixelation -- the technique networks often use to hide questionable content.

Motion Designer's Toolkit from Digital Juice
Taking "stock" elements to a whole new level
Kevin McAuliffe
As editors and graphic designers know, time is our worst enemy. Clients want the best looking product (obviously) in the absolute shortest amount of time, and that's where companies like Digital Juice have helped us in the past by providing us with stock elements that we can use to not only spice up our projects, but get them finished a lot faster.
Noise Industries FX Factory Pro, Volumetrix, and SugarFX
Updates to popular FXPlug plug-ins
Kevin McAuliffe
With all the plug-in packages I look at, there are updates that (seem to) happen on almost a regular basis, so I thought that for this article I would take a look at recent upgrades to Noise Industries' products and partner products including FX Factory Pro, SugarFX, Motype and Volumetrix, as well as throwing in a quick look at Idustrial Revolution's brand new plug-in known as ParticleMetrix.
Award-Winning Director Marc Forster Teams with Cut + Run Editor James Nelson on New Swiss Air Film
none
Flying - or modern day travel via air - evokes a variety of images but certainly rarely as beautiful or sublime as what unfolds in the new Swiss Air film directed by Marc Forster ("Quantum of Solace," "Finding Neverland," "Monster's Ball"). To help orchestrate and unite the myriad of elements involved, Forster turned to Cut + Run Editor Jay Nelson who worked hand-in-hand with the director and the effects production company MK12 on the project.
Director Tarsem Teams Up With Zoic Studios to Converge Fantasy and Reality for Mountain Dew's New "Level Up or Die" Spot
none
The Mountain Dew / World of Warcraft cross-promotional spot brought together some all-star players to handle these iconic brands. The production would be executed by Radical Media lead by esteemed director Tarsem Singh. With the vision of the spot being solidified, the team now had to worry about execution. Based on Blizzard's recommendation, BBDO reached out to Zoic Studios to handle the visual effects and animation. Having recently completed projects for Saboteur and Killzone 2, Zoic Studios was hip to the challenge of plunging World of Warcraft game characters into a live action setting.
Essential Final Cut Pro: FxFactory Pro and CrumplePop
Plug-Ins/3rd Party Software Part 3
Heath McKnight
For this Final Cut Pro (FCP) Plug-Ins and 3rd Party Software apps, I decided to focus only Noise Industries' FxFactory Pro (also available for Motion, Final Cut Express, and Adobe After Effects) and some of key plug-ins, including those from Noise Industries, SUGARfx, yanobox, and Boinx Software. I will also take a look at CrumplePop, which is a very cool "handwritten" text creator that helps editors create handwritten-style graphics on templates that look like paper, Post-It-style notes, masking tape, and more.
13-inch MacBook Pro
The update to the unibody MacBook gets Pro status, SD card, and more
John Virata
Over the years, I've had always had access to a Macintosh computer, starting way back with the PowerBook 140, to the dual 450 G4, to a 15-inch MacBook Pro with illuminated keyboard. I used the systems for testing the latest software from Adobe, Apple and others. I've never really became a Mac user, because I have been using Windows computers since 1994 and became used to that OS. But the new MacBooks piqued my interest in part because of their use of aluminum.
