Upconverting

Some interesting views from Den of Geek on the 2D - 3D conversion of Clash of the Titans that, well, seems to be a bit of a porridge to say the least.

Also includes a good quote from that august purveyor of sage wisdom, Michael Bay: "Studios might be willing to sacrifice the look and use the gimmick to make $3 more a ticket, but I'm not. Avatar took four years. You can't just shit out a 3D movie."

NAB - Not Attending Basically

With all due thanks to the scores of PRs who've sent me invites to various events at NAB, I'm sorry but I'm not there this year. In fact, I'm not there every year: the simple economics of funding my own trip out there as a freelancer when every magazine has already sent their own editorial staff to cover it (and sit in front of the advertisers) simply don't stack up - especially given the amount I'm involved with IBC.

Respect though to Snell for their 'The Kahunaverse is expanding' line. I'll be watching from afar...

Grading Gear...

An article I wrote about grading the BBC's Top Gear for High Definition magazine. Not often I get to quote AA Gill twice in the same piece. You'd think he might return the favour sometime...;-)
