Cinefex Download Pdf
Amaryl Lids to download pdf you need some things, like my website and the name of the file. You will find that file and you will download it of course. Because we have got a lot of free pdf files that are ready to download. Remember this website now.
I've been a subscriber to the print-edition of Cinefex for about 5 years now, and have collected ALL but 16 of the back issues via eBay as well. I'm backing at MATINEE SPECIAL level and am very excited to possess the entire digital collection. However, I'm curious if there will be an incentive for print-subscribers like me to continue their subscription, since we'll now be able to attain the digital editions for a fraction of the cost. I'd like to think that hopefully Cinefex/Scribbler will honor print subscribers by included the digital issue as complementary with each new print edition. Could anyone from Scribbler or Cinefex shed light on this?? Creator Where possible, we're using the digital layout files and RTF-exported text that is stripped of hyphenations and other layout-specific tags via approx. 230 regex rules.
For the earlier issues, the only record that is left is the printed magazines themselves. We're scanning those at 600 dpi and then extract the text with OCR combined with manual proof-reading and tagging of every person, company and movie title. The pages are then separated into individual photo files and text images. Photos are de-screened and the color-corrected individually, with manual touch-up of dust and similar problems.
We offer two views of the back issues: The Archival view looks exactly like the paper issue, with the text displayed as a background image with the photos layered on top. This view also includes the ads. The Reader view uses the digital text to collect each article on a continuous page. The text can be customized with font/size/color, and it is selectable by normal tap-and-drag. The images are displayed in a separate column that you can expand into fullscreen with a tap on any photo.
In this fullscreen view you can pinch-zoom the images which are stored in higher-than-Retina resolution. If you look at the Kickstarter video we're showing all these viewing modes.
Thank you for your question, we hope this behind-the-scene breakdown has been interesting!:). Creator @Edward Kok: 1. If/when a new iPad model comes out, we will of course strive to make the app compatible with it as soon as possible, if any changes are even required. We think that the first 126 issues will be less than 10 GB in total, but we are still scanning and preparing the photos, so we can't say for sure yet.
Yes, the currently available app in the AppStore will be updated to add this new functionality, so you will be able to read both new and old issues in the same app; 'There can be only one!' So happy to contribute, and help all of us get the digital CINEFEX. I bought my first issue when I was 13, which was issue #003, with the tauntaun on the cover, and I bought it with my summer money working at an active senior center my mom ran.
It changed my life, and I've been a behind the scenes effects fan ever since. Besides STARLOG and FUTURE, this was the magazine I most looked forward to, and I'm the same way now, though I have a few gaps in my collection. Thanks for making and taking the digital leap for Cinefex and for us. To anyone hesitant about this because it's currently iPad-only, keep in mind that a huge portion of the work involved here is in the digitizing and proofing of all the issues. Once that's done, it doesn't have to be done again when/if the content is ported to another digital medium.

So even if you don't have and don't intend to purchase an iPad, if you ever want a digital version of this library at all your best bet would be to chip in to fund the digitizing process. IF this first foray is successful I'm sure, especially with the expressed demand, they'll explore additional options. Creator @Dwaine: Sorry if we haven't managed to explain this properly, but here is the simple answer: Yes, you can download, delete and then re-download each issue that you have pledged for (or bought individually via an in-app purchase) as many times as you like on all your iPads. Nothing in any of issues 1–126 require an Internet connection for anything other than to download the issue(s) to the iPad. Even if you don't have any issues downloaded, you will still be able to search the entire article archive without an Internet connection, as the app has the full article database embedded. Creator @James Russo: Believe us, if we could offer a 'pick-and-choose' option we would do it, but redesigning our backend system and manually generating codes for individual collections is not something we can manage to do at this time. We are focusing our attention on restoring the content and making the app shine, we hope you understand.
The issues will be available as single in-app purchases through your Apple iTunes account when the new version of the app is released, right after we have sent out all the codes to our amazing backers! New Scribbler: Thanks for the clarification of why you can't do the 'choose your own issue' incentive.
I realize that the way apple manages applications and in-app purchases places real limitations on these sorts of things. (They prohibit 'upgrade' pricing for apps, or use of coupon codes.) I recognize its a developer headache. The way SOME app developers work around this is that when they release a new version of an app - they discount purchases for a short period of time. That way - existing users get notified that there is limited time pricing for the app (or in-app purchases). (It can't be limited to just SOME users, so anyone can get the app at its limited 'upgrade' pricing. I'd pledge a bit more just for some advance notification of back issue pricing of say, $2.99 instead of $4.99 for the first week its released. That way I'd get a $2.00 discount on each back issue (along with everyone else) - but be notified in time to take advantage of it.
(Just suggesting another possibility:-) I recognize the complexities involved and respect whatever decisions you make in this regard. 'then buy the other issues you want when we launch the new version of the app. Pricing is scheduled to be $4.99/issue. ' - So to be clear, you WILL offer individual issues later. So why not just add a tier NOW for a coupon for x amt of issues to be redeemed when this functionality is offered? Say 20 issues at $3.99/issue.
You are already going to offer this. I don't see anything different in what you intend to offer and what people are asking you to offer! Just bundle x amt of individual issues together for pricing and offer a coupon for that amt of issues.

All we are asking for is something you already intend to offer. The only difference is we ask you add that to the KS instead of waiting for it at a later date. The redemption would still occur when the functionality of downloading individual issues becomes available. Creator To all who would like to pledge a custom amount and then choose freely which issues to receive: we've looked in to what it would take to add that functionality to our backend systems that manage the codes, and we're sorry to say it would add significantly to the development and administration costs. If you don't can/want to pledge for the entire collection (a great value at $2.25/issue) then choose a lower pledge that will give you a good start with a subset of issues, and then buy the other issues you want when we launch the new version of the app. Pricing is scheduled to be $4.99/issue.
We hope you will understand why we can't offer custom-issue-pledges. Creator We would love to license the material for other platforms, but that decision is up to Cinefex magazine, as the publisher Don Shay explained in a comment earlier. This current Kickstarter campaign is for the iPad, and we are confident that the full-article search (even for issues that you don't own or have downloaded to your iPad) with every person/company/movie tagged, is worth the lack of universal access from every device/computer. The high-resolution photos where you can zoom in, is also something that other formats handle differently or not at all. For example: a Kindle book has a maximum file size of 127 KB. Creator @David Pritchett The back issues will have two viewing modes: one with the original layout (including ads) and one with each article as one continuous page with images and captions in a column to the right (and without ads.) This continuous view can be customized with different fonts, font sizes and color/contrast as can be seen in the Kickstarter video. In this custom view you can also tap any image to go into the image view where you can zoom into the Retina+ resolution photos and swipe to quickly look through all the images.
Understanding there are 'iPad' people and 'PDF' people. As this project is completed, I wouldn't be surprised if an Android or Kindle version project gets kickstarted if the iPad version becomes a success. PDFs would be great of course, but they would be pirated so fast that there is no way that I would recommend that to Cinefex.
I would think a kindle version makes sense next as it is cross platform for all users. As an early backer for the IPad, may we receive a discount in proportion to our pledge when a kindle vs comes out? Whatever seems reasonable-. All our concern is: we don't want to loose that great collection some day in the future! And this concern at least is a big compliment to that project and the work of New Scribbler. Pdf will be future proof.
Perhaps not 100% and of course it is much dumber than all the great possibilities which we have with an ipad app, but we will be able to store it where we want and we will feel a little bit saver. Again, all that talk about the technical side shows our love for that project and for Cinefex!
Since 1980, quarterly publication has been the go-to resource for VFX artists, professionals, and enthusiasts. This visual effects 'bible' is also a time capsule of sorts, that has captured and documented the evolution of movie magic for the past 3 decades, and now they want to bring all of it to you digitally. Subscribers can currently access Cinefex issues, as well as a number of back issues on their iPads, computers, as well as physical copies, but publishing company wants to bring you every single issue - from the 1st to the latest - digitally, and on their interactive publishing platform. They just need a little help. If you've never read or looked inside an issue of Cinefex, it's probably best described as an incredibly detailed compilation of bonus feature DVDs and behind-the-scene featurettes of your favorite VFX flicks - only in magazine form. Issues are full of photos, articles, and in-depth accounts from some of the greatest VFX filmmakers and artists in history, willing to share their invaluable knowledge with those who want to know. Highly respected visual effects professionals vouch for Cinefex.
Adam Savage ( MythBusters) says, “It is a PhD degree in film special effects,' while James Cameron calls it the 'one true source' to 'expand your vision.' New Scribbler Press has undertaken the effort of licensing over 30 years of rare and costly issues of Cinefex,in order to make all 126 issues available to readers on their iPads as the 'Cinefex Classic Collection. They have started a Kickstarter campaign to pay for licensing fees as well as funding the transition of the archived issues into a new format. Check out their Kickstarter video below to learn more about the campaign. New Scribbler Press isn't just making each page a PDF - they're taking it a step further by developing a new publishing format that is both interactive and customizable. Since they plan on making every issue searchable, you will be able to search for names, films, tools, techniques, etc. In a keyword search.
Photo galleries will be available, which NSP has optimized for the best display possible. Also, you'll be able to highlight and share text within each issue, making reading Cinefex a social experience. If you're interested in the world of visual effects, it looks like Cinefex sets the standard in terms of industry publications. Having all of those years of information and history at your fingertips is quite exciting - at least to me. The calculated cost of getting your hands on every printed back issue is somewhere around $2500 (based on auction prices,) but once the digital copies become available on iTunes, the cost for the 'Cinefex Classic Collection (126 back issues) will be $499, or pay $4.99 per issue.
However, you can get the entire collection if you pledge $250 or more on their Kickstarter campaign. Check out their Kickstarter campaign, and if you're interested in subscribing to current issues of Cinefex, visit their.
Do you read Cinefex? Do you think it's a good resource for VFX professionals? Let us know in the comments.
Links:. I own and love an iPad. But there's no way i would want to spend that much time reading this much info on my iPad only. Not gonna happen. There is mention of a PDF format but I didn't see any other viewing option other than an iPad. PDF on computer - totally different story, and I could get on board with that. Then there's the true value question.
This is true hollywood VFX methods and applications. We're talking budgets in the $150M+ range. Chances are low to mid range budget films won't have access to 90% of the resources described in these articles. Me thinks the better investment is to choose a VFX application that you really want to work in and invest in tutorials and education in that one application for more effective ROI.
July 21, 2013 at 2:43AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM. Hey Jeff, I've been working on high end vfx for near on 14 years now, yes software is used extensively, but many great visual effects shots have been created without any 3d or 2d software whatsoever.
Take the shot of the Cotopaxi in the Gobi Desert in Close Encounters. Thats a miniature put close to camera, then all the people are put way back in the distance to make them look extremely small in relation to the ship. It's brilliant in it's simplicity, and this very concept could be applicable on low budget work. You'll find all these neat little ideas in Cinefex. Here's a pic of the shot I mentioned.
July 21, 2013 at 8:18AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM. Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) does this as well. The spaceship is a miniature set close to camera and the actors climbing into it are on the other side of the stage. The shots from across the river in Escape from New York (1981) are also miniatures using wrinkled Visqueen as the water. Both were shot at Roger Corman's Lumber Yard studio. My friend Austin McKinney did visual effects cinematography on them, and I visited him while he was working on both. Don Trumbull (DP) and I (gaffer), did several Front Projection shots for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).
For some things. Even today, I'd prefer Front Projection to Green Screen. There are a lot of inexpensive and easy to do effects that can be done in camera that have fallen out-of-style today (and are unknown to today's film-makers. July 22, 2013 at 3:03AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM.
