So school is over, but I’m in the school’s ‘animation’ club, which is supposedly a range of things from flash animation, stop motion and game design..

Today I went for the first time in a month to find that they are trying to green screen with a digital blue camera

For a green screen they are using a green display board - which is not flat and has elevation all accross it.

They have no idea what they are doing, or trying to do.

They have no lighting and think it is going to come out perfect..

They won’t even listen to me!

Argggg….

MacFever Episode #17 Show Notes:

MacHeist is back - 12 apps for $49

MacHeist have launched their new retail bundle eventually the bundle will be boxed and sold at retail stores - in the US I bet.

The 12 Apps for Mac OS X are valued at $286

The 12 apps consist of 

Awaken - Cha-Ching - CoverSutra - DEVONthink Personal - iClip - OverFlow - Wallet - writeRoom -   XSlimmer - And last but not least Enigmo, Bugdom 2, Nanosaur 2 - which are games from Pangea 

I must admit that list of Apps doesn’t look very attractive

MacUpdate also released a bundle, including parallels desktop for Mac - retails for $64.99

Apple have also released Apple TV 2.0.2 but it is not known what the update adds/fixes.

Apple have been critisced for releasing Safari with the software update for windows, and have now clearly marked “New Software” and “Updates” - Still not happy?

Safari users at risk from PayPal - users will be warned and eventually blocked.

MacBook (Pro) lines to be updated - confirmed hoax by MacRumors.

Hello,

I like to make many videos of a variety of subjects, they are fun to edit and produce and put together.

But where can I distribute these videos?

Not YouTube, YouTube is great, but not for me, I don’t feel like I can attract the audience I want with my videos.

But with a Feed, you can distribute it all around the internet and have your content available for download.

Introducing Jack Moore Productions

Jack Moore Productions is my brand new feed for all my videos I make outside of MacFever.

Please check out my content and I hope I can update it often

You can subscribe in iTunes by clicking HERE or visit my Blip.tv Page here
