Is DVD an "old school" item? Is Internet the future of the movie industry? My guess is yes...but for filmmakers's sak€ I hope I'm wrong...In late December I ran into this interview with one of the most remarkable sports filmmakers Mike McEntire from <a href="http://mackdawgproductions.com">Mack Dawg Productions</a>. When asked about this very same subject he states <span style="font-style:italic;">“Any industry that relies on a digital master and makes copies of it to make money dies by the Internet,” “It doesn’t matter what you do, if it’s a digital item that you can put on a computer and send it around then that’s exactly what they do.”</span> <br /><br />I cannot be against Internet, since I belong to the new generation of filmmakers and if there was no www I wouldn't be making movies...but still I wonder:<br />How can someone get som€thing out of this?<br /><br />Thank God I love what I do...<br /><object width="450" height="253"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8718715&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff0179&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8718715&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff0179&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="450" height="253"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7692339980141386791-5044513333340644696?l=humbertosilvafilms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Humberto Silvanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692339980141386791.post-8863836828692927882010-01-05T03:22:00.000-08:002010-01-05T03:25:47.434-08:00Respect Bodyboards the Series, featuring Respect Team Riders and lots of places...<br /><br />You can follow everything through out the channel www.vimeo.com/channels/respect <br />First episode may arrive anytime now...<br />Meanwhile here's a little teaser...<br /><object width="450" height="253"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8544533&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff0179&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8544533&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff0179&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="450" height="253"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7692339980141386791-886383682869292788?l=humbertosilvafilms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Humberto Silvanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692339980141386791.post-63223441835918883122009-12-31T08:45:00.000-08:002009-12-31T09:24:50.980-08:00I just got an email from Rick Barber telling me I forgot to write the name of the band in the video (wich was our deal) released some weeks ago.<br />My sincere apologies for that!

6-8ft swell, offshore wind, clear sky...<br />A friend of mine sent me a message on <a href="http://facebook.com/humberto.mindless">Facebook</a> saying "Tomorrow i'm gonna search them" "Do you wanna come?". I took about 2 seconds to say "Yes".<br />The next morning we were on the road, checking spots we thought that might be working and they all look good (yeah, offshore has this effect) but a certain one was clearly pumping hard as the first wave we saw when we arrive was pretty much like a "How's it going?
