Usually ships in 1 to 2 days 『Recently uncovered color footage follows British and American troops, and documents, as never before, the massive outpouring of joy and relief among ordinary citizens as news of the German surrender spreads throughout Europe. With the costly success of D-Day behind them, the Allies began their final push to Berlin...and to victory in Europe. For Allied troops, there were still hardships to come, as they searched for fugitive Nazis and tried to maintain order on a continent devastated by six years of brutal war.』
(Not entirely successful implementation of a good idea) 『The idea's not bad. Pick a sky color, pick some music (or silence), and let it go. Perfect for young kids, chill rooms, etc.
But the cloud shots last only a few seconds apiece, endlessly dissolving into one another, which makes for a rather busier display than I was expecting. A single continuous shot would be more relaxing. The color options are ghastly; only the "blue" option, with a more or less normal sky, is watchable.
The "ambient" music uses dated textures and sounds cheesy. The "classical" music is anonymous but listenable enough if played very softly. Best is the "natural" sound, although after a while it reminded me of the sound effect they used while Superman was flying in the old TV show.
An interesting conversation piece for a party, I suppose.』
(Great party conversation piece) 『This is a great party conversation piece. The options for selecting various styles of music (or silent) make it great for a variety of situations.』
(Very chill - great for babies!) 『I've found this DVD works quite well for calming our baby at nap time. No squealing cartoon characters or purple dinosaurs here, just mellow music and drifting skies. For some reason the little guys just seem to love this disc. For all those stressed out new parents out there, this ones a keeper!』
(Style vs. Content) 『Great packaging&presentation, a superb idea .... but very little content. A fine example of style over substance.
Ultimately this product is no more than a screen-saver for your TV. If you plan on using this on your PC / MAC - then I'm sure that you could download something for free over the internet, that will more than match this product.
Save your money, open the blinds and take a good look at the real thing.
A disappointing purchase.』 『

Creative COW Master Series DVD-ROM
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Good introduction to the tool) 『This video training is good for getting started. It introduces the rather un-intuitive Color user interface and basic bells and whistles briefly but understandibly.
It assumes that you already have a bit of a background in grading (know how to read your 'scopes' like wafeform monitor and vectorscope).
This will get the beginning colorist going. This is the strength, but also the limitation of this training video. It will leave you with a basic understanding of the tools and how to use them, it does not demonstrate a lot of creative uses of the tool, but this is something you will have to learn by experience as with any artistic tool.
For a more in-depth treatment, also check the Color training at [...]!』
(just for fun) 『It is good for people who doesn t want to read the manual and wish to set up color for playing around. Not for people who already grade with any application or filter at any level; they'd be left unsatisfied』 『
The DVD covers the Color Interface because that is the biggest stumbling block for anyone trying to use this application. It looks completely different than just about anything else in the Mac marketplace so before you can really get into anything else with Color, you need to understand the interface.
My focus is to get you comfortable with Color and to show you just how simple the interface truly is to operate. People tell me all the time they re intimidated by the interface and ask me why it looks the way it does. Because it was not designed for video editors, it was designed for professional Colorists who are used to operating systems with a similar layout as Color.
So if you are a video editor or someone who has never sat in a color correction suite before, then this DVD is definitely for you. There is a method to the madness that is Color and by taking the time to walk you through the rooms and the controls, I feel that is the best way for you to truly begin to enjoy this powerful tool. Heck Apple handed you a $25,000 color correction tool for free, so get in there and start using it!
What s actually on the DVD? The DVD contains 9 tutorial videos and at times we go room by room, control by control and other times we jump around the interface depending on what the natural flow is of that area of the interface. In the case of Setup, well that is all self-contained whereas the Secondaries Room very often involves the ColorFX and Geometry Room. So where appropriate we will flow from room to room.
The tutorials are provided in Quicktime Format, approximately 1024x768. (We had to leave a little room for the player controls.) The Chapters are:
Chapter 1: Opening up Color for the First Time, starting Color from the Projects Screen, and setting up the screens for the lessons. Chapter 2: What is Color? Chapter 3:Setup / User Preferences Chapter 4: Setup / Other Tabs Chapter 5: Primary In Room Overview Chapter 6: Secondaries Room with some Geometry Chapter 7: ColorFX Room&Primary Out Chapter 8: Geometry, Still Store, Render Queue Chapter 9: Final Thoughts Copying and Saving Grades, Taking Grades with you and some other final thoughts.
This is the DVD the author wishes he'd had when he started working with color. He started out on this tool when it was still called Final Touch HD. There was no widespread training and barely a manual. Gaining skills from an accomplished Colorist, Walter Biscardi worked to develop the skills that now allow him to create looks that were once the domain of only the most high end of editing offices. Apple then purchased the company that created the software, and now incorporates it as the re-branded Apple Color with the Final Cut Studio package.

Paramount
Not yet released IPhone 3G used's review (Park Avenue Beat) 『Perry Mason is as much a part of American culture as apple pie and mom. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone of any age who doesn't at least recognize the name. Erle Stanley Gardner's books have millions of devoted fans. The television show it spawned was fabulous as entertainment, and today is widely regarded as one of the best shows the medium ever produced. Perry was the attorney you wanted on your side in a jam.
Raymond Burr had some good roles in films, but will always be remembered as Perry Mason. It was Gardner himself who picked Burr, even though the studio only agreed to let him test for Perry if he would test for Burger too! Barbara Hale was his pretty secretary, Della Street, who kept Perry human and was in love with him. William Hopper was the dapper detective, Paul Drake. He had a playful and flirtatious relationship with Della but every viewer knew that secretly her heart belonged to Perry.
William Talman as D.A. Hamilton Burger would almost be ready to gloat, Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins) not far behind, when Perry would spring his client by revealing the real killer on the witness stand. There has never been anything close to it in genre on television since. Its mix of drama, noir, and humor,and its truly likable characters, made for terrific viewing.
Season three had some great episodes, including a case where Paul was the accused, in a twisty tail of blackmail and murder. Releasing them in half seasons, the first half on volume one, the second on volume two, may indeed be an effective but annoying marketing scheme, but with all the junk out there we're lucky to actually have a few worthy releases such as Perry Mason even available.
Season three, beginning in October of 1959 and ending in June of 1960, is as follows: The Case of the Watery Witness--The Case of the Garrulous Gambler--The Case of the Blushing Pearls--The Case of the Startled Stallion--The Case of Paul Drake's Dilemma--The Case of the Golden Fraud--The Case of the Bartered Bikini-- The Case of the Artful Dodger--The Case of the Lucky Legs--The Case of the Violent Village--The Case of the Frantic Flyer--The Case of the Wayward Wife--The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor--The Case of the Gallant Grafter--The Case of the Wary Wildcatter--The Case of the Mythical Monkeys--The Case of the Singing Skirt--The Case of the Bashful Burro--The Case of the Crying Cherub--The Case of the Nimble Nephew--The Case of the Madcap Modiste--The Case of the Slandered Submarine--The Case of the Ominous Outcast--The Case of the Irate Inventor--The Case of the Flighty Father
This was one of the best dramas ever to hit the air. Seeing it today reminds us just how good television can be, but is often not. It's a bit of nostalgia and a lot of entertainment for TV fans. Fred Steiner's "Park Avenue Beat" remains one of the most recognizable themes ever heard. A must for any serious collector.』
(YES, MR. MORGAN + another problem with year sets.) 『Even though my comment "AMEN" to Mr. Morgan's review indicated my total agreement, I'd like to add my thoughts to another change that is slowly growing in frequency and aggravation. DVD sets that suddenly loose their surface color graphics which relate to the TV program/movie's theme, characters or genre. NOW WE GREET the burnished silver disc surfaces with glossy silver writing. They all look the same, whatever the TV show or movie it is! PLUS, they are hard to read unless the light hits just at the right angle. (Even then, some of the print is so small, it's nigh onto impossible to read.)
The 1st time I noticed this was "Happy Days", Season Two. Season One the surface of the DVDs gave the discs an appearance of being a 45 rpm record. This makes sense, teens listening to rock 45's. But I guess the producers didn't think about aesthetics, just $$$. Here are a couple more absurd examples: #1- "7th Heaven", Seasons 1-5: Very nice character portraits that illustrated how the character's appearance changed as the years went by. Many times I've looked at the discs, thinking, he/she sure has grown, or lost weight (Rosanne) etc. Season 6 arrives. Generic silver discs with no portraits or color, or anything appealing. This unwelcome discovery ruining the inherent joy of their arrival Or, how about, #2- "Touched By An Angel"? Seasons 1-3, colored discs depicting the themes and the characters. Season 4 - OOPS! "Plain-Jane" silver. C'mon studios, give some thought to what appeals to the customers!
Are the studios saving money? I really don't know, but I've been in sales all my life and those years taught me the axiom "PRODUCT APPEARANCE AFFECTS SALES VOLUME"! Almost as much as what is does. Hard to believe they don't know that.
On the same theme, these double-sided discs that show fingerprints so easily, but theoretically save studios production costs. Since the advent of Double Layer discs, very few extra long movies are now printed on a two-sided disc. Here are 2 different product offerings, each the result of what subjects were of importance to studio officers sitting at their long, lavish mahogany tables in boardrooms resembling the Taj Mahal, pining over either how the economy hurts their sales volume, OR, what could be done to improve their product's value and appeal to the customer. (One, the antithesis of the other). #1- "Northern Exposure": Seasons 1 and 2, illustrated discs; Seasons 3 and 4, double-sided discs; Seasons 5 and 6, back to being illustrated. They may have finally moved in the right direction, but continuity is non-existent. #2- "The Waltons": Certainly one of the most loved TV series. but every year produced on 2-sided discs. It is bad enough to squint our eyes in able to see what we are putting in our disc player, but come Season 4, the producers didn't even bother to print which disc # the DVD was! I had to write in that tiny circle the correct disc # by looking through a magnifying glass at the even tinier ID number in that circular info area. (Example - 110884.1 or .2, or .3, etc.) The decimal point indicating which disc it is. Isn't this insane? I feel ridiculous writing this! Why bother? BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW LITTLE THE MAKERS CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS whose purchases pay their salaries&bonuses. End of soapbox.』
(4 Discs) 『Season 3, Vol. 2 is a set of four discs, not 1 disc. The Amazon information is simply an error.』
(great entertainment- the writing is great.) 『These maybe from the 50's and 60's but I would be watching TV today if it was this good. You have to use you brain. The characters have held up over these many years. Well worth a look.』
(A minority opinion) 『[Note: I entered this same review for Season 3, Vol. 1, too.]
I appreciate the reasons for consumer gripes regarding the Perry Mason DVD releases. Like other Amazon reviewers, I'd like to pay less and see complete seasons rather than half-seasons released at a time.
I'd also like two-dollar gas, killer abs, and a winning lottery ticket, but they're not gonna happen either, so I'll just say here and now that Paramount has done a superb job of remastering the PM series for us diehards, and I encourage the company to stick with the project.
When I look at the quality of the prints, that the episodes have been restored in their entirety, that the episodes are generally longer than most of today's popular dramatic series, and the plain fact that paying several bucks for each episode of one of my all-time favorite shows is no big hit on my wallet when it's spread out over months and years, I'm okay with the pricing and staggered releases. (And no, I don't work for or represent Paramount, and yes, like everyone else I have only so much disposable income in any given month.)
I even bought the PM 50th Anniversary set for its extras and for the lovely Barbara Hale (sometimes joined by series producer/director Arthur Marks) providing the intros. It was worth the price and the duplication of episodes.
I expect many of my fellow Amazon reviewers will take the time to skewer me for my take on Paramount's approach, and that's okay. It's all a matter of opinion and perspective. But for me, the fact that Paramount is providing us fans with such great prints of the PM series is cause for celebration. "You get what you pay for," the saying goes, and my money is being well-spent.』 『Perry Mason is an attorney who specializes in defending seemingly indefensible cases. With the aid of his secretary Della Street and investigator Paul Drake, he often finds that by digging deeply into the facts, startling facts can be revealed. Often relying on his outstanding courtroom skills, he often tricks or traps people into unwittingly admitting their guilt.』
