P2: The format. The trailer.
What do filmmakers do in their free time? They make films. The horror movie P2 has just been released on DVD, but when Doug Spice and team at Psychic Bunny saw the original trailer for the theatrical release, all they could think about was their cuddly little Panasonic HVX200. Heres a playful look at what happened when the two came together, with a few shooting and workflow tips for good measure.

Creative Adobe After Effects 5 by Angie Taylor
In this article, David Bogie explores Angie Taylor's ''Creative After Effects 5.'' In his review David looks at reasons why he thinks the book is of genuine value as a resource and points out areas where he feels the book missed the mark and could have been better. But overall, David concludes that this one is definitely worth the money and gives it a strong buy recommendation. Sprinkled with sub-headers athat are drawn from classic Beatle lyrics, it is also one of the funniest articles we've ever posted over the years. During his comments regarding Expressions programming in After Effects, we were laughing so hard that tears were running down our faces. Thanks for both a great article, Bogiesan, and the laughter!
