PDF downloads for ENPAS events at the Globe
The autumn festival in Exeter includes events at the Globe.
The promotion is mostly through print - brochures and posters but this year the PDF versions are available online.
just over 200k each, the posters

My own interest in digital media started with print so the PDF aspect is still interesting for me. The animX project is sponsored by Acrobat Services.

Has this blog gone completely off topic?
You may be wondering what happened to animation as a topic. Well, it could be that any form of content would fit in. The wifiExeter blog is more clearly about distribution unless that turns up here as well.
On Sunday 11th November the Creative Collective will tour intrepidly all the way from the Phoenix to the Globe Inn, Newtown. there will be a selection of short films, possibly including animation. That is, some films may be completely animation or some films may include sections of animation or techniques borrowed from animation. Now there is so much digital technique it is often difficult to tell what a clearcut definition of animation may be.
Discussion to be continued on blog and at Globe, Phoenix etc.
Linking to YouTube could be scaled up in time for Animated Exeter in February
Meanwhile from Future Shorts, coming to the Phoenix big screen sometime soon

Continental Market
For some of us the food is an important part of any festival. The continental market will be in Sidwell Street on the 2,3 and 4th of November.
Here is my own video from last year. Very short but maybe Exeter Television will get out more this year. Most of the editing is done at Life Bytes at the other end of Sidwell Street.

Deadly Wars, folk at the Globe
On 9th November, folk songs about war and the experience of soldiers.
Exeter Television did record a previous occasion here, a concert by Wistman's Wood.

Correction to previous post
Due to an error in copying links, the previous post confused James Taylor and the James Taylor Quartet. Apologies. The correct link should have been

As far as I know this is the current album

Autumn Festival previews on YouTube
So far there are quite a few of the artists appearing in Exeter for the Autumn Festival who have video on YouTube. One aim of Exeter Television is that this should happen more often. More on this later. There may be a concentration on events at the Globe as this is the easiest venue for me to get to. Meanwhile here are a couple of other links.

Mobile animation coming soon somewhere
Adobe MAX is an occasion to conjure up a vision of the future. Most people attending are developers and they need to work out what the audience will expect by the time something is launched.
Gary Kovacs, in charge of marketing at Adobe's mobile unit, called Flash Lite 3 "the most significant advance we've made in mobile" and said it brought Adobe closer to being able to release software versions for mobile and desktop simultaneously.
"It's probably a few years away. We'll do it over the next couple to three years," he told Reuters.
Meanwhile the Apple iPhone is seen as an inspiration.
According to VNUnet.com, Anup Murarka, Adobe's director of technical marketing said that the iPhone has "changed the landscape" with its sleek graphics and tight integration of services, turning the phone from a simple commodity into a fashion statement. Gary Kovacs, vice president of marketing at Adobe's mobile and devices branch added that
"Since the iPhone, the energy in the industry to create something compelling has been off the charts.The iPhone has convinced customers that data on a mobile phone is possible."
However a list of devices that are currently available with earlier versions of Flash shows that many of them are supported in Japan or North America.
It may be a while before Flash Lite 3 is widely distributed in Exeter.
There will be an Apple shop so the iPhone can be demonstrated. There are some doubts about the cost and capability. Martin Courtney in the UK IT Week suggests that wifi availability will be a factor given that there is no support for 3G. Not a problem in wifi Exeter.
Other announcements at MAX included another update on the runtime now known as AIR - Adobe Integrated Runtime- and an example in the form of an Adobe Media Player. Warning, this is all beta stuff. Uninstall previous versions of AIR or Apollo or it could go wrong. The Media Player can only cope with Flash video as far as I can tell. You can enter demographic information about yourself to help the advertisers. there is quite a lot of video already including animation. the Two Dollar Pistols on nTune.TV are not reaaly the sort of band that would be booked for Vibraphonic but they deserve a hearing. It is not all from the USA. there is areport on a Lady Sovereign Concert at the Scala in King's Cross from Jumpoff TV. Now back to technology issues, enough time for content later.
So my point of view is that this is well worth watching but is some way off in the future. The Media Player works ok full screen. Something similar will be possible later on mobiles.
Meanwhile I am looking at two photographs as a token for discussion in the near future, say the rest of this year.
One is to show that an Apple shop is expected in Exeter sometime. This is on the Time Travel section of Snap City so could connect with other places.
The other one is an impression on Flickr of how Exeter Castle may look when the icerink arrives, an almost certain event for the fourth quarter. Mostly it is borrowed from Paul Keleher in Boston. The Creative Commons has many possibilities. I have claimed that there will be some genuine photos later. Maybe there will be some video.
Meanwhile this blog is mostly text. And I can add to it from Life Bytes on Sidwell Street.
