Apple Color Tutorials Released
Thursday, Dec 20th, 2007
This new tutorial series is produced by Michael Wohl.
Color is like candy for video producers. It allows you to remove that annoying video "haze" by popping your contrast and saturation to make the images on the screen look sharp and professional. But you can't correct your video's color without understanding the science behind the edits you are making, and that's where this tutorial really sparkles.
If you've seen any of Michael's movies, you know he's a master story teller. More than most people, Michael knows how screen color adds to the emotional effect of moving pictures. Subtle corrections, like adding blush to the cheeks of an embarrassed character, or changing a dull gray ocean into a vibrant blue tropical sea ... these subtle changes can make or break a video, and color is the perfect tool for the Job.
But Color doesn't stop there! With the ability to do complex secondary color correction, Color lets you change certain hues in the frame without effecting others. Turn a living, green forest into a dead brown, and depressing scene. Change a character's shirt from pink to red. Add Color's sophisticated motion tracking abilities into the mix, and your red shirt will stick to the character, even as the character moves around the scene. This is some mind blowing stuff, and you'll learn how it works, as you watch this tutorial.

The Logic 8 101 Begins ...
Friday, Sep 28th, 2007
I've really gone in a different direction with this one ... this is the tutorial I've always wanted to make. It is not the simple overview of menus and functions you will find in most tutorial videos or text books. This is a detailed exploration of sound.
Chapter 1 begins the exploration of Logic while examining how audio works, starting with the most basic waveform, a sine wave! Through the chapter, you will look closely at how amplitude and frequency combine to make sound. We even jump into Soundtrack Pro for a bit to do some deep analysis of frequency (hey, it's Logic Studio now, so why not?!).
As the chapters continue, there will be increasingly advanced topics covered, and by the end of this tutorial, you'll know how to think like Logic. You'll also learn a lot about audio and how sounds combine to make songs. IMHO, this is going to be REALLY fun adventure ...
I'm EXTREMELY curious to know what you think about this tutorial. Please let me know by either posting a review, or visiting the forum:
