This is the relaunch issue of the millimeter community, which includes the readers of millimeter, Digital Content Producer, our websites, and our enewsletters, as well as the members of our professional networking and marketing community, Reel-Exchange.
This is the first step in a significant change to our growing community, which will unfold over the next several months. The change will bring all our content and services together into a more useable environment and add new services currently in development. This will mean many new features for Reel-Exchange and more integration between our editorial content and the professional marketing, networking, and recruiting that goes on through Reel-Exchange.
If you were previously a subscriber to either millimeter or Digital Content Producer, you are receiving this relaunch issue in print. Those who previously requested digital editions of either magazine will receive the digital edition. In the coming months, you will have opportunities to choose between continued print delivery and digital delivery.
Those who subscribe to our millimeter and Digital Content Producer enewsletters will continue to receive those enewsletters; if you are a member of Reel-Exchange you will continue to receive your weekly update enewsletter.
We proudly took millimeter as our community flagship knowing that there are young professionals who may never touch 16mm, 35mm, or 70mm film. We know that millimeter has earned a certain credibility these past 50 years; Hollywood studios trust us with their workflow stories and their directors—you’ll hear from J.J. Abrams and Jeffrey Katzenberg in this issue. Quantum of Solace DP Roberto Schaefer is a member of Reel-Exchange and the subject of the first of our back-page stories to be drawn from that part of our community.
But millimeter is also a trusted voice in technology; these days that technology is increasingly accessible across the range of production. That’s why D.W. Leitner and longtime postproduction leader Mark Forman spent a long day in New York fooling around with a Canon DSLR camera and an inexpensive projector ). Frank McMahon shares some of his web-broadcasting knowledge. Barry Braverman looks at the Panasonic AG-HPX300, which is not a $30,000 camera. We also look at the new release of Autodesk Maya, which is best driven by experts using big, strong workstations such as the new HP Z800 that Jan Ozer tested for this issue.
You’ll see elements from The Briefing Room and an acknowledgement of the Reel-Exchange members who participated in our second Reel Impressions project with NAB. Don’t forget to visit our blog at blog.millimeter.com/nab, which will feature contributions from our broadcast colleagues at Broadcast Engineering and our audio colleagues at Mix.
Next up will be a limited alpha test on our new website, followed by a beta launch to incorporate all our new professional networking and video features.
