An international team of experts explores how streaming services are disrupting traditional storytelling. The rise of streaming has dramatically transformed how audiences consume media. Over the last decade, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, have begun commissioning and financing their own original movies and TV shows, changing the way and the rate at which content is produced across the globe, from Mexico City to Mumbai. Streaming Video maps this international production boom and what it means for producers, audiences, and storytellers. Through eighteen richly textured case studies, ranging from original Korean dramas on Netflix to BluTV’s experimental Turkish series, the book investigates how streaming services both disrupt and maintain storytelling traditions in specific national contexts. To what extent, and how, are streamers expanding norms of television and film storytelling in different parts of the world? Are streamers enabling the creation of content that would not otherwise exist? What are the implications for different viewers, in different countries, with different tastes? Together, the chapters critically assess the impacts of streaming on twenty-first century audiovisual storytelling and rethink established understandings of transnational screen flows.

Why buy "Digital Stereoscopy"? Digital Stereoscopy is the bible of modern 3D technologies where students, amateurs, and professional stereographers will find a clear description of all 3D facets of the stereoscopic business as well as detailed info on the 3D image production, distribution, and presentation workflow. Abstract and special features Stereoscopic images are a century old but the recent rise of digital 3D in all aspects of audiovisual production allows for a constant high quality level, making stereoscopy pleasant and comfortable for the viewer's eyes. The range of media influenced by stereoscopy is impressive, going from motion pictures and television to print and Internet distribution. This book will let you discover the basic principles of how we perceive objects in 3D, how we can shoot 3D pictures and movies, what digital processes are required to produce quality 3D images, and how 3D movies are distributed. We will also study less known aspects of the production workflow, such as 2D to 3D conversion, storage, real-time transmission for broadcasting, and 3D Blu-ray authoring. The various methods of displaying and projecting 3D images will be covered, along with their pros and cons. The book provides a large number of technical details on all these subjects, making it a reference work for professionals in the field, with explanations of the most commonly used software, hardware, and standards. To make the book as useful as possible, an abundance of sidebars explaining the most important concepts in each chapter and a glossary of the most frequently used 3D-specific terms have been included.

Managing technical people seems to be another kind of "ball-game." Many technical people are proud of their expertise and would not like to be always told what to do, as though they do not know their stuffs. Moreover, technical knowledge is advancing so fast that the current technical knowledge could become obsolete within a short time. This book provides many important ideas for the aspiring technical manager. Much of the knowledge presented in the book is not available in textbooks and could only be gained by being on the job. To manage and solve technical problems in an industrial or factory environment, book knowledge or theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient, and, practical knowledge or experience is just as important, if not more important. As a matter of fact, some things cannot be learnt from books but must be "experienced" first-hand. This kind of knowledge is of great importance to the practising engineer or technical manager. In this book the author shares this kind of knowledge which he has gained first-hand by being "on-the-job" with the reader, knowledge which is unlikely to be found in a normal technical management book. There are also important tips on practical management. Students of management should benefit from the book too. The book includes an introduction by a successful businessman offering important views on business and management. This book has been given several rounds of publicity by the press.

I learned how to do it by creating two Movies and Disks suitable for publishing. I must confess I made many mistakes ending up with unacceptable DVDs before successfully saving my subject matter using the Win Movie Maker. This saved Movie was then used to create a DVD suitable for publishing. It took me several months of trial and error before arriving at the proper procedure to use to obtain the final publishable DVD. This book shows you the proper steps and procedures to use so you can create a DVD using your material that will be suitable for publishing by your selected DVD publisher. The DVD can be published by Create Space (or another internet DVD publisher, if there is one) using their DVD setup program:
