“Bobule” (Grapes)
Writing diploma thesis
So I’m trying to work on my Diploma Thesis, called "Digital Intermediate", but unfortunately some projects jumping in. So it’s difficult and hard. So all my friends cross fingers to make it happen. No I’m back to Prague cos of some meetings and in Saturday my cousin Jan is having wedding. So I will attend there and immediatly I’m going to moravia for location scouting. From the thesis I have already 2 pages….hehe well will see. No it’s seems that this blog page is full of bullshit, but should I wrote about some new cameras or films made? Or should be about me but in more polished way? Yeah drop me some nasty note how stupid this is…:-) I will write some advaced articles about what we did on set next time…yeah…sure….
Back in Prague
So I’m back in Prague. Trip behind the great ocean was good, just networking slowly, we need to be patience to get some gig in Hollywood. I’m working on Leo’s “Cargo” and in breaks from colorcorrecting I’m trying to do some stuff on this pages. First of all it’s so damn not in specifications these different browsers and even on different OSes. Like Safari or Firefox on Mac and Firefox and IE on PC. Just driving me crazy. So folks if you have some problem on some browser with my films or pages, just tell me please!Another thing is, i’m trying to run permalinks, that URL on this server will be in www.martinpreiss.cz/cargo RATHER then www.martinpreiss.cz/pageid=?2xYz. But so far without luck. You need 3 ingredients – Apache2 with mod_rewrite – CHECK (up and running), ability to write to .htaccess – CHECK (it’s allowed) and do it in options in wordpress – CHECK ====> NOT WORKING….i don’t know where is the problem i uninstall and install Apache2 several times, change shit and nothing helps. The only think what can be wrong is wrongly set up HOST or DNS or something like that…any help will be greatly rewarded.Anyway FinalCutPro Color program is really a great tool for color correcting. Even it’s not so perfect in version 1.0.1 it does what I want and in realtime on my MacBookPro. The only downsize is that the setup window is optimized for 1680xsomething and mine NB display is just 1440x…. Of course I can use Cinema Display which is HD 1980×1280 but I need to have a picture there. To one some big prize I will buy MacPro and another monitor and that would be sweet! Anyway it’s working like that and I’m happy, it’s quite portable…
