Mid-Week Coffee Break for the Twenty-Seventh of June

Build a C-Stand [FreshDV] - This $30 DIY C-stand isn't the most portable of things, but it beats the standard $200 model and is probably just as useful. Meaning in Motion: Ken Burns and His 'Effect' [Editblog] - Nice tips on when to use the effect and how to use it effectively. The Vatican Film List - I have to say I like their Art list more than AFI's. 2001, La Strada, Citizen Kane, Metropolis, Modern Times. Book of the week: The DV Rebel's Guide + Rebel Without a Crew - Starting a business and making a film have some things in common. I haven't read the The DV Rebel's Guide, but Rebel Without a Crew is a great read, even if you're not a Robert Rodriguez fan. Also, Microsoft Surface Parody and Two classic Prabhu Deva sequences.
