Beautiful Berlin turned depressing for Korean spy thriller
As the capital of Germany, Berlin is a beautiful city with both modern infrastructures and sites of historic interest, but as the setting for 'The Berlin File', a 2013 South Korean spy thriller written and directed by Korean action auteur Ryu Seung-wan and starring Korea's top actors including Ha Jung-woo, Han Suk-kyu, Ryu Seung-bum and Jun Ji-hyun against each other in the twisty tale of political intrigue and personal redemption, Berlin has to be unpleasant enough. With a strong opening in box office, the action blockbuster attracted 7 million admissions in early 2013 to become the all-time highest-grossing Korean action film and the critics applauded its "secretive and gloomy atmosphere", which contributed to the film's great success. The magic that turned Berlin from a beautiful city to a gloomy cold place was performed by colorist Park Jin-Young with CJ Powercast with her 8 GPU Linux based DaVinci Resolve.

The Panasonic AG-HPX255 Camera and BT-LH1850 Monitor By Jeremiah Hall

Metamorphosis at NAB and AdTech? By GrabNetworks
The National Association of Broadcasters branded their convention this year under the theme Metamorphosis, which describes a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change usually accompanied by a change of behavior. The mostly male, white, middle aged to older executives certainly didnt look or act conspicuously different from past NAB attendees, nor did the focus of the event reflect a significant change in behavior. By contrast, few of the 10,000 attendees and 200 exhibitors at AdTech in San Francisco have ever worked in the TV, radio or print media business and theyre increasingly young with a growing base of females. But AdTech remains an over-weighted celebration of early and mid-stage companies struggling to establish themselves in a cluttered competitive environment. This weeks Media Business Network video recommends how both NAB and AdTech can achieve true metamorphosis

Content Insider # 280 - NAB Revisited By Miles Weston
Most meaningful conventions can't be covered in one shot. NAB is certainly no exception, especially this year when the industry is struggling to get people all the content they demand on all the devices they use and still monitize all their investment, their work. It was drama on the screen, on the stage, on the show floor. People are watching more of the content on all of their screens. Doesn't matter if it's available on the huge HD set in the family room they'll watch it somewhere else in the house or watch a different show on their device while they're watching the big screen. But the goal for industry players is the same regardless of what, when, where you watch it. Making money...that's getting trickier.
