I’m pleased to invite you to the FuoriSalone event “Be a Human Pixel”, that I’m organizing with Adobe Italia. All the attendees will have the chance to experience how is being a human pixel, will get an exclusive t-shirt, will be part of a cool stop motion video, will have their name in the closing titles and hopefully a lot of fun during the shooting.

The samples should give some reference for spotting scenarios of use and the result with the various presets applied.

Today I passed the exam in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for the Adobe Certified Expert program. I share my personal experience and thoughts for other people interested in the certification. Besides the study of help and use of the software, I recommend ExamAids.

Here you are my first Lightroom preset for simulating black and white infrared photography. Basically, it converts a coloured picture in Gray tones, with vivid brightness for tints coming from reds, yellows and greens, while tones coming from blues are strongly darkened. It pushes grain, contrast and shadows.

I love to work on corporate videos when motion graphics has a primary role. In this project the graphics had to go with several brand images. The main target was the financial community and the video had to balance the rational side of numbers with the emotional one of fashion.

Exactly 15 years ago, in January 1993, my most loved piece of software was born: After Effects 1.0, codenamed “Egg”. For celebrating such anniversary I wanted to talk about its origins, but I’ve not yet collected enough material to do it (please if you have any screenshot of version 1.0, write me!). For now let’s commemorate the Egg with an easter egg in After Effects 8.

Christmas was a good time for giving some dollars to the authors of the plugins for WordPress that I use for this blog. With 1384 alternatives in the plugins repository, it might take some time to identify which are the best answers to your needs.
After some months of testing and daily usage, I completed my selection and I filled a list of plugins worthy a contribution.

Adobe launched a gallery of video in HD, which amazingly shows the power of the new Flash Player 9 Update 3, (aka Flash Player 1,0,115 or Moviestar). The footage was encoded in H.264 at 480p, 720p and 1080p, and distributed through the servers of Akamai network.
