A Great Read About Star Wars/Disney Deal
By: Richard Harrington on Mar 17, 2013 at 6:18:28 am
For a great article about the business behind the Star Wars/Disney deal take a look at the video and article from Bloomberg.

What Star Wars Means to Me
By: Mike Cohen on Mar 7, 2013 at 6:48:54 pm
With all this talk about another Star Wars Trilogy, spin off movies, live action tv and George Lucas retiring a terribly wealthy man, I've kept myself busy with rumors, speculation and criticisms as well as hopes for good movies. But why exactly does Star Wars mean to me and why spend so much time thinking about movies? In 1977 most of the world went to see Star Wars. This was before it was named Episode IV. I did not. My brother went. I stayed home. I was a strange child. However over the next 3 years I read the picture...

I have not posted to the ol' blog for a while thanks to numerous varied activities. iBooks Authoring Cine-Med has three main functions: media production, publishing and meeting/event management. I get involved in a little of everything. Seeing as we have 20+ books in print, and Apple has provided a great authoring tool in iBooks Author, we have taken the plunge into multi-touch ebook authoring. The nomenclature is a bit wishy washy. Meet the Press on NBC advertised its free "ebook" available on the iBokstore. It is in fact an iBook (made with...

Avid — Has the Ship Sailed (or Even Sunk)?
By: Richard Harrington on Mar 7, 2013 at 6:18:28 am
Mark my words Avid will make a desperate announcement at this year's NAB (if not sooner). Their 'we're focussing on the pro market' strategy is too little and too late. The pros they want to keep are moving on in records numbers (let alone dwindling). My favorite quote from a Boston Globe Article " To fight back against Apple and Adobe, Avid spent more than $600 million buying two companies in 2004 and 2005 that sold audio and video editing products aimed at consumers. Instead, Avid wound up selling its consumer businesses last year for just $17 million." Sounds a...
