The Film Doctor site has some truly interesting – and not your typical – resources. I especially enjoyed the article on “Should you go HD Digital for your next film?” and the “Aspect Ratio” chart. Surf by and have a look:

Working on coproductions, you care deeply about what the exchange rate is doing between the two or three currencies you are using (in order to maximize money making it to the screen instead of to exchange rate loss).
UBC’s Sauder School of Business has the the ability to plot exchange rates at the Pacific Exchange Rate Service… in effect a “Currency Plotter“.
There is nothing like looking at a graph of the currency exchange rate to give you a big picture look at the exchange rate related to your production and over time. I’m not saying you can predict the exchange rate, but… well… just make the choices, “make a chart” and see what I mean. It’ll be a tool I know you’ll want to use again and again:

So, surf on over to “Broadcast EP” and enjoy…

The season of parties approaches… be it a wrap parties, office parties or Christmas parties. Are you ready for all that networking?
I’ve been ciné-surfing lately, and found some cool information on the Career-Intelligence.com site. It’s called the “smart women’s online career resource” but it’s certainly readable by any gender! Some of the latest items I’ve found of interest to read include:
What elements catch your ciné-surfing eye?
Cheers & a great festive season to you!
