http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog Our fulldome content development blog - fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk - part of filmcafe.co.uk Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:27:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Stumbled on this today... Is it wrong that it actually made me quite sad?  Anyway - I don't think that firewire 400's quite dead yet, or that it should so quickly be condemned to death! Infact, I'd still take firewire over USB2 any day of the week... Constant throughput anyone? All ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2009/03/05/end-of-the-firewire-road/ BVE was a very worthwhile few days for all sorts of reasons - some great new gear and some great seminars (some not so great, I must say!) Anyway, I know it's a bit of an in-joke type thing, but I was strolling through Lightroom and I saw this! I can't ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2009/02/28/red-bve/ It's been a bit quiet on the blogs of filmcafe towers of late.  Sorry 'bout that! We've been busy boys!  That's mainly down to Splice - our entry into IFF '09.   No news yet, but we'll let you know when we hear anything.  Anyhow, we met some great new folks making ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2009/02/24/whats-new-filmcafe/ We filmcafe fulldome-ers love our digital toys... We love them for they the tools of our trade.  We love them in spite of their quirks, their faults and their failings.  We work around such shortcomings and try to turn them to our advantage. Sometimes, however, certain shortcomings arise that are so ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2009/01/08/feet-and-inches/ I say 'landed' - I think I probably mean 'was hunted down, backed into a corner and made to cooperate'. I really have to thank the very lovely Warren Orchard for his help in securing the beast at Walters Photo Video for us filmcafe folk.  Without his help, we'd still be ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2008/12/20/the-eos-has-landed/ We were giddy looking at RED's countdown clock last week - when the curtain rose, I think I blacked out... 28K?! Was it a dream? Who on earth would dare shoot 28000 x9334 pixels? I'll try anything twice, but 28K? We're going to need some more storage! I think that ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2008/11/18/red-alert/ After testing them at the Thinktank Planetarium on Tuesday, we've hinted at some of our newest creations in a slightly restyled way.  Perhaps you've seen the 'polaroids' on our nice new homepage... If you haven't then perhaps you'd care to checkout fulldome.co.uk to see our new page for yourself. Our shiny ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2008/11/13/new-website-new-content/ Today was our second trip to see Mario at the Thinktank Planetarium with a new bundle of images to try out. What a perfect day to be inside - the first dry one since who knows how long - but wowzers!  The new images we collected transported us to the great ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2008/11/11/thinktank-tests/ Today has been all about Change - Barack said so - and what he says goes from now on! But with all of that happening, you might have failed to notice another "change" that pricked my interest. The Video games industry's sales are up 42%.  Video games are outselling music.  So ... http://fulldome.filmcafe.co.uk/blog/2008/11/06/the-video-games-industry/ filmcafe are about to embark on a project to capture and create fulldome content for digital planetariums across the land.
