21st Century Designer
The city of Oslo recently published a presentation headlined “Proposal for renewed coat of arms (Forslag til fornyet byvåpen)”. The proposal above caused quite an uproar, as both politicians and the general public were worried what would happen to the old one.
As a designer and a citizen of Oslo, I was offended my self. I understand the old coat of arms is not great as a small logo, but we still have colors in 2018, right? I had to give it a shot:
Do Not Disturb mode has been around on iPhone since 2014. It’s a great way to turn of sounds and vibrations at night, but it’s pretty much an all-or-nothing solution. Yes, it can make exceptions for your Favorite contacts, but there are definitively situations where you would like something in between.
That is why you need Notification Levels.
I just heard an interview with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Whales on How I Built This. Inspired by his talk about the collective knowledge repository that Wikipedia really is, I decided to show Wikipedia in a different way. Have a look at http://bovesan.com/tok/
The last sessions in the editing suite might be the most tense part of any post production process, but when everyone is happy, it’s time to pass the film on to the finishing specialists. While uncompressed audio can be embedded directly in the OMF or AAF files passed to the sound department, things are usually a bit more tricky when dealing with XML or EDL sequences in the visual domain.
Conformist 2.0 is now available in the Mac App Store, and the headline feature is that it is now free to to try for a limited number of clips. The unlimited version of the App is available as an instant upgrade inside the app. Owners of previous versions can click the Restore button to unlock.

Jular lets you place and photograph virtual Christmas ornaments in the real world. Version 1.0 was just submitted to the iOS App Store, and will hopefully be available before the holidays.
Conformist is now available in Mac App Store. It was submitted last Thursday and cleared the review process by Friday morning.
Conformist is made to significantly reduce the time needed to find and process media files for film projects. It matches one or more EDL/XML files against one or more folders of media files and lists all files matching EDL reel name, EDL clip name or XML filename.
The matching files can then be dragged to Finder, FTP, web sites, video editors, transcoding software or anything else that support drag and drop.
Conformist is available worldwide in Mac App Store for $39.99
The Conformist Help describes exact usage.
Conformist is currently being tested in real production environments, and should be available in the Mac App Store soon. Please contact Click here to show email address if you want to participate in testing.
The Hyperspeed project is a rebirth of the Efficient Mistika Project. Hyperspeed is built from ground up to provide a stable and robust framework for post production environments based around SGO Mistika systems.
In addition to various tools, workflow scripts, effects and other tweaks, it includes lots of useful python classes.
Think of it as an unofficial Python API for Mistika.
To me, vacation is a relative term. When I went to the mountains earlier this summer, I packed the usual camera gear and wanted to do some GoPro experiments.
If you have ever tried shooting actual POV with a GoPro, you know the result wont look nothing like GoPro’s own ads.
