Futureman Goes to the 80s
Futureman shows two 1980s citizens the wonders of the future.
Brian Belefant was the winner of the Bagdad NW Film screening and this is what he wanted Portlandfilm.org to let everyone know.
“I just heard from the nice people at the Northwest Filmmakers Night. ‘Burning Passion’ was voted the best film of the competition, both by the judges and the audience.
Yippee!
It would have been nice if the voting had been tallied that night so that I could take my winnings ($200, American) over to the bar and buy beers for people who came out to see the show, but alas, they weren’t.
So here’s what I’m planning.
On Tuesday, February 2nd, I’m going to be at the Sapphire Hotel –– my newest favorite bar in Portland –– with $200 in my pocket. (The Sapphire Hotel is at Southeast 50th and Hawthorne and if you’ve never been there before, be prepared. The vibe is great, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are delicious.)
I’ll get there around six. If you’re in the neighborhood, come by. I’ll be buying rounds for anybody who’s nice enough to show up, introduce him- or herself, and tell me how much they like my film. That is, until my $200 is gone.
Even if you didn’t vote for ‘Burning Passion’. Even if you didn’t see ‘Burning Passion’. Hell, even if you’re Nora Ephron.
See you there.”

DIY Focus Ring for D-SLRs
If you’re one of the new Digital SLR users coming over from the 3 CCD miniDV cameras, I’m sure you’re just as frustrated as I am by the lack of a focus ring. When focusing or adjusting your zoom, it can jolt the camera, and you can twist beyond about a half spin before you have to readjust your hand. Jus plain annoying. This video demonstrates how to build one on the cheap for under $5 in parts.

Mr. Average Presents…..
“Mr. Average” is the newest thing to hit Portland sketch comedy!
The brainchild of one Tyler Spencer (formerly of Homeless Corner and currently the executive producer at Coffee For Drew Productions), this new collection of uproariously delinquent comedy shorts aims to make a substantial contribution to the laugh muscles of open-minded Portlanders.
Historically, Spencer has made no effort to veer away from potentially offensive topics within his films, but has drawn the line before utilizing shock value as a comedic medium. Seemingly off-limit subject matter, satire, social commentary, and flat-out irreverence are all to be expected at the debut screening of this new Portland-based brand of sketch comedy: “Mr. Average Presents….”
Also on hand to showcase hysteria-inducing films will be members of award-winning group Cinema Queso: reputable jokester Rob Campbell, and notorious funnyman John C. Meyers.

MAC WORKFLOW: TWO UP
Two Up is one of my favorite free tools for Mac OS X. It enables you to hit CMD + OPTION + CTRL and either left or right to instantly fill up half of the screen. This is great for working with multiple programs, especially when mucking through mountains of folders in your project files. Press the quick keyboard shortcuts and throwing finder to only half of the screen to you can drag and drop files into Premiere or Final Cut is wonderful.
The maker of Two Up, Irradiated Software, also makes another helpful application called Size Up, dubbed “The missing window manager.” This pay for utility is like Two Up but with support for multiple monitors, spaces, full screen shortcuts and SnapBack. Highly recommended.
