| Q. | What was the studio system in the film industry in the 1920s-1950s? | Related Search:
Movies | | | Can someone explain what the studio system was and how it worked. Also why was it important?
| | A. | The studio system was a means of film production and distribution dominant in Hollywood from the early 1920s through the 1950s. The term studio system refers to the practice of large motion picture studios (a) producing movies primarily on their own filmmaking lots with creative personnel under often long-term contract and (b) pursuing vertical integration through ownership or effective control of distributors and movie theaters, guaranteeing additional sales of films through manipulative booking techniques.
During the Golden Age, eight companies constituted the so-called major studios that promulgated the Hollywood studio system. Of these eight, five were fully integrated conglomerates, combining ownership of a production studio, distribution division, and substantial theater chain, and contracting with performers and filmmaking personnel: Fox Film Corporation (later 20th Century-Fox), Loew’s Incorporated (owner of America's largest theater circuit and parent company to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures, and Warner Bros. Two majors—Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures—were similarly organized, though they never owned more than small theater circuits. The eighth of the Golden Age majors, United Artists, owned a few theaters and had access to two production facilities owned by members of its controlling partnership group, but it functioned primarily as a backer-distributor, loaning money to independent producers and releasing their films.
It's importance? There were virtually no indie movies back in that era. Filmmaking was too expensive. These studios made just about everything that was put on screen from the 20's to the 50's. | | | |
| Q. | What's the difference between Visual Studio Express and Visual Studio Team System/Team Suite? | Related Search:
Programming & Design | | | I understand one is free is one is a bit pricey but what are the major differences? Are there any limitations to Visual Studio Express? Is Visual Studio Team System easier to use? Are there any mid-level Visual Studio editions you might recommend for a beginner programmer?
| | A. | Visual Studio Express (VSE) is a freeware version of Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment toolset. VSE is scaled-down but still reasonably functional. Microsoft describes the VSE toolset as "free, lightweight, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn tools for the hobbyist, novice, and student developer.
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 is a platform for productive, integrated, and extensible software development life-cycle tools that helps software teams by improving communication and collaboration throughout the software development process
VST is actually for integrated business purpose and for team level use. yea its not that much hard to use but not easier than VSE and as a novice VSE is better to learn. | | | |

Programming & Design | | | What is visual studio team system 2008 if i have this version then do i still need to download Visual Source Safe ? if not then how to set up the studio for team developement?? please provide a brief idea..
| | A. | Visual studio team system 2008 is the bigger brother to VS Studio 2008. The different versions let you do different things but version you want (if source control is your goal) is Team Foundation Server. This lets you do everything VSS does but on a much larger scale.
Sorry I can't help with setting it up, Team Foundation has never been necessary for the projects I work with. I find VSS completely satisfactory for mid-sized projects.
Here's a good blog for the uses of the software kits tho

And here's the download page for the installation guide

| Q. | will a d90 trigger a studio flash system using its commender mode? | Related Search:
Photography | | | will a d90 trigger a studio flash system using its commander mode? the flashes have IR recievers in them but will that mean that i can use the d90 just on commander? or are there other accessories i need to be able to do this?
| | A. | Well, yes & no! The commander signal in Nikon's CLS trigger also contains information on flash power, plus if its in TTL mode, it will also fire pre-flashes.
If your studio flash has an optical slave mode, you COULD trigger the studio flashes from the on board flash, but you'd probably need it in manual mode (to prevent pre-flashes). You can dial the power right down though so that the flash will not contribute significantly to the image.
If you don't switch the pre-flashes off (by being in manual flash), the studio flashes may fire on the pre-flash & will not recharge in time for the main flash, so they'll not be on full power when the shutter's open.
I use RF-602 triggers on my D300 (very reliable & because they're radio not optical, no problems with line of sight or range).
I use these to fire a combination of Nikon speedlights, third party speedlights AND studio flash all at the same time. I don't bother with the CLS system these days, even when I'm using just the SB speedlights. | | | |
| Q. | Where can movie treatments from the studio system era of the 1940's be obtained? | Related Search:
Movies | | | looking for a book or web site that contains movie treatments from the studio system
stuff from thalberg or selznick preferred but i guess others are welcome too
| | A. | You're going to be hard pressed to find any scripts or treatments from that long ago. Mostly because the treatment/script format used back then is obsolete so demand for them has dwindled to almost non-existent. There are a few websites which carry old, old, old film scripts. [Link] has an impressive collection of movie screenplays and treatments, but only a handful which date back that far.
If you're looking for a hard copy of an older script, your best chance would be to check out bookstores, either online or in the "real" world. You may luck out and find condensed collections of screenplays dating back that far (I know there's a book collecting four of Preston Sturgess's screenplays available for purchase online).
That's about the best you're going to do, unfortunately. | | | |
