FVM, August 09
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:42 am
Pleased to say my copy of FVM arrived over a week early this month, and a well done to the hard-working Garth Hope.
Some good stuff on board, too. Ken Wilson always makes me laugh with his Strange but True tales; Howard Gregory is so right when he says loudspeaker size matters; Reg Lancaster writes so well in his book reviews and Phil Beasley seems able to run a video business and yet make award-winning films on the side. How does he do it - doesn't the vampire sleep nights?
Mike Shaw keeps us up to date on 3D titling, Colin Jones' NLE deserves its two pages and Ernest Jennings breathes new life in to the club he's been a member of for 50 years. What?!
Dave Watterson clarifies the aspect ratio confusion nicely - though I take issue with the 'Anamorphic 2.34:1 shown 4:3'. This should have thicker black bars, Dave.
It could be Garth fighting you on this one, because it seems ironic that with an article such as yours on board the rear cover of the magazine has no less than 9 frame grabs shown horizontally compressed (768 pixel pictures reproduced as 720 pixels across). Yes, even the letterboxed ones.
