Have you visited the bund last week? If you did, two things could be very interesting for you:

1) The golden Cow statue has just been located on the bund, as one of the lucky stock sign, this one is just like WallStreet.

2) The big warehouse built quickly for the Dior fashion show, John Galliano as the designer give Shanghai fashion a big hit! Bright Shadow Films got chance to provide the film production for this amazing fashion event, same time catch up with the new fashion trendy wave, meet the cool people.

The project was simple but complicated, we need to connect with 5 SONY HDW camera, also provide the live switch signal to sina.com and some other media.

In the beginning we were struggling with the HDW camera, for 9 HDW camera in Shanghai it’s difficult to have them together, another problem is that HDW series is designed for HD tape recording instead of the live mixing.

We managed to found 9 camera in a really short period of time, not just that, we also found a good solution for client, we spent 2 days in the set up in the warehouse, putting the cable together, set up the camera, connect to the mixing table, monitor, backstage  LCD for John Galliano.

Do you know that we used film tripod instead of the TV tripod? No joke, we found 4 really heavy tripod for the client’s back up, in the end it turn out to be a good idea, there were some other media staying with the camera, so even if they touch the tripod, it’s hard to move them.

Here are some pics of that night, Clark as the production manager worked that day for 24 hours for our clients, from 7AM Saturday to 7AM Sunday, Rick Tullis as the steadicam guy also worked on this project, his previous working experience including some big project with Jackie Chan.

As many of you probably has been testing the cracked versions somewhere, adobe cs5 is going to be available in the store today, with many new amazing features updates in photoshop, premiere and other software in the suite, it’s going to make the a bunch of creative people excited about it for quite a while.

To us the most important thing would be premiere update, so far what I have heard is that the RED 4k editing ability of premiere will be much better, especially you will find out that with a Quadro FX graphic card, you can easily playback all the 4k footage on your PC. Same thing would be much useful for those of you who want to replace the background, special effect, video encoding etc, they all will be faster!

Many people would be surprise how these things could be updated in this version of Creative Suite, I am not surprised with these new functions, if you are always pay attention in the graphic card company you will know the reason, ever since the Nvidia released the PhyX and Cuda, adobe has been follow up the tech for a while, last year, some codec software even released some CUDA based version, which allows you to convert the video 3 times faster.

Interested? Here is the preview of the premiere CS5, you will love it.
