Olympic Rings - Easy
OK, so I got sucked into watching a huge amount of the Olympics, more than I ever have. No doubt this is entirely due to the incredibly sophisticated coverage that NBC pulled off flawlessly, and even more so by the spectacle that China designed on such a massive scale. The artistry of Zhang Yimou’s opening ceremony, the stunning architecture of the olympic venues, and the amazing landscapes that China seemed to be sharing with the world for the first time ever. I was blown away. Good Luck, London!
While I grew to respect badminton and even get sucked in to watching the bikini-clad beach volleyball team win a gold on Beijing’s rock-n-roll beach, there were still events that it seems I missed.
Did you happen to catch any of these?

Steve Martin, no not the actor, but Steve Martin of Ripple Training provides some great tips for using Adobe CS3 and Production Premium with FCP. This is definitely woth a look for some Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects tips as well as Encore, the Adobe DVD authoring program. It has the ability to do something I was just thinking would be so cool if we could do it… instead of burning DVDs, what if we could deliver a digital file that played just like a DVD with menu, chapters and the such? Well with Encore you can courtesy of Flash. Yeah, I know, we don’t have CS3 or Production Premium. Well actually JoJoe does. We can only hope for the future. Want this now!
