Here's the Law & Order clip referenced in Paul Hartzell's post on the FVA listserv. I thought I'd post it as an article with the embedded video only available to registered members for a few reasons - (1) I'm still working on the embed feature for our video library and thought it's be a great test, (2) to make it easier to find for new members not yet familiar with the site, and (3) to make it easier for new members to review and post comments. The embedded video will only display in this article for registered members who are logged in. Members can simply click the "Add Comment" or the "Show/Hide Comment Form" link to post comments. |

http://www.slate.com/id/2191199/ The link above is to an article on Slate's website about doctored images. It has a couple links to scientific papers done on light source direction calculations and altering digital images. I thought it would be an interesting read for some.

Using Adobe Flash As a Presentation Tool in Court |

Some of you may have heard that I have been using Adobe Flash for creating
court exhibits. I started using Flash a couple of years ago after taking a course at a local
community college. I use Flash as an alternative to PowerPoint, but it clearly has
features that reach beyond the best features of PowerPoint. If I have simple graphics,
text, or audio clips, most likely I’ll stick with PowerPoint. It’s easier by far. But if I
have video, I will never again use PowerPoint.
PowerPoint may work for CSI clips, but the biggest problem with PowerPoint and
video is that 1) the video must be linked. 2) When the video is playing, all resources are
dedicated to the playing of that video. I cannot annotate over the video or control the
stopping or starting. But as I said, PowerPoint is great for simple linear exhibits. |
