Tinnitus

«Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of any corresponding external sound» – British Tinnitus Association

1 in 10 people in the UK suffer from Tinnitus, a condition in one or both ears or in the head when pressure changes from the interior ear are caused by intense exposure to loud sounds for example in clubs or gigs. This phantom sound is not there nor generated by any source sound system around your body. It happens unexpectedly as you might be sitting around people, when you suddenly hear nothing but a pure steady tone or ringing/high-pitched whining, electric buzzing, humming or whistling sounds in the background. Some auditory examples can be found on the Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Unit. Continue reading →

Park in Progress

On the 5th of October, the EU Transciplinary Arts and Circus program «Park In Progress» took place in our city’s municipal gardens, locally organised by Artos Foundation.

Tomash Ghzegovsky performed in this festival, creating a dream-like ambience for his audience, moving us into the inner world of plants through sound, a very unique performance in my opinion. I wanted to know more about the technology behind his artistic experiment so I went ahead and asked him a couple of questions:

The perfect slow motion movement: Twixtor

Have you ever wondered how they successfully achieve  that perfect slow motion movement in most movies? Well as I was searching on the Web to find the answer I ended up to an effect / plugin called ‘Twixtor’. Twixtor is a plug-in for After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut, Vegas, Avid, and many more non linear editors and compositors. When you usually try to adjust the speed duration of a clip in your composition you don’t get the same results as the 2 videos below. Continue reading →

Wow!

Words can’t explain my overall experience at MediaZone. It has had its up and downs.  When first arriving to MediaZone I was happy, until I heard we will have very intensive training for one whole week. At that moment, I felt the pressure was on. I was a little intimidated because I didn’t know a lot of camera terminology. The only thought that was running through my mind was they are going to think American students are uneducated.  In reality MediaZone was my first practical course outside of group projects.

As time passed, I began to gain more confidence about learning and being comfortable with using a camera. Do I feel like I know everything there is about a camera? No, but I feel confident that I know enough that will help me to be ahead in my classes back in the United States. Continue reading →
