Movie Making - Science topic

If you want to concatenate dcd, you have the catdcd tool in vmd:

Once you have your desired .dcd file, with the desired timestep, you can use the typical way to do a movie of a trajectory:

Well, Stephen, you can still capture video using the DLL files that are used to interact with your camera and the user Interface, i.e. and GUI and API interface. Some cameras are offered with the Camera Twain Driver through which you can capture both still images and the videos. There are plenty of such programs available and some might be free. Try looking for such an approach and you should be able to achieve what you want!

Best Luck!

Hi there, look at this: 

The 8th Screenwriting Research Network (SRN) International Conference – Final Call

Deadline for abstracts Monday 2nd March 2015

The 8th Screenwriting Research Network (SRN) International Conference will take place at the University of London, UK on Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th September 2015.

It is organised by a committee grouped around the London Screenwriting Research Seminar – the University of Bangor, the University of East London, The University of Greenwich and Royal Holloway, University of London.

The key theme of this year’s conference is Screenwriting: Text and Performance.

We invite discussion about screenwriting as process and practice, and how it engages with and can be understood in relation to text and performance across a wide field of media and practices, including film, television, games, online, transmedia and other digital platforms. We are particularly interested in abstracts for presentations on the following topics:

Interpreting screenplays – how do producers, directors, actors work with screenplays?

How screenplays affect and invoke performance?

What can performance reveal about writing screenplays or screenplay structure? Screenwriting and literature

Screenplays and screenwriting by authors best known in another field

Case studies on individual writers or texts

We would also like to invite abstracts for presentations on (but not limited to) the following topics:

National traditions of screenwriting and storytelling

Different screenwriting practices and formats

Historical perspectives on screenwriting and screenplays

Screenwriting, the screenplay and different production structures

Screenwriting and adaptation

Practice based research in screenwriting

Screenwriting for television, games and animation

Screenwriting for new media forms, online, transmedia etc.

Please send abstracts (250-300 words) as a word or pdf document, with the email subject heading “SRN Conference abstract” to:srnconflondon2015@gmail.com

Abstracts may be submitted until March 2nd 2015. Earlier submissions are welcome. Remember to state your name, affiliation and contact information. Also include a brief statement (100 words) detailing your publications and/or screenwriting practice.

We aim to let you know by mid April 2015 whether your paper has been accepted. Keynote speakers will be announced early in 2015.

Hi Nainsi,

Refer the brochure for the DFC450C camera. It is basically an imaging camera to take pictures at 2560X1920 pixel resolution with 9 frames per second frame rate. This is not a video recording solution that you are looking at.

There are other resolutions with higher frame rates of 18FPS and 30FPS respectively at 1280X960 and 640X480 pixel resolutions but with color binning. This will eventually have some quality issues.

But that does not mean you cannot make videos. What you can do is collect large picture (files) and combine them with your software (if the feature is available) into a movie format .

Looking at the specs in the info-sheet of the camera, it is not clear whether it supports the recording of video in any way. Also check if your software with the camera has any provisions to make movies using the images acquired.

Else you look for some other software that can combine images into movie file. A long time ago with MIcrosoft Windows(R) XP the movie maker has such feature but I haven't used any movie maker on newer versions of Windows.

If any further information is needed please feel free to ask me at prasanna.waichal@fnu.ac.fj

Thanks
