All lessons can be viewed on-line at his site, here you can download them. Put all the lessons are available at the moment, including the simplified version. Unfortunately, the early lessons were laid in format swf, and convert them to another format rather difficult. Therefore, the first seven lessons you have to watch or without rewinding standard FlashPlayer `Ohm, or use one of the players with the support of fast (I’m stuck in the distribution of SWF Opener). Other lessons in format flv, you can view them any FLV-player (in the distribution of the very best, in my opinion, at the moment FLV-Player – Sothink FLV Player).

VideoCopilot.net – Twitch

VideoCopilot.net – Twitch
HomePage | 374MB
• Random FX Generating Plug-in
• 6 Operators, 25 Presets & 7 Tutorials
What is a Twitch?
Essentially a Twitch is a random value at a random point in time. These Twitches are then used in connection with multiple operators to create unique custom effects. The Orange line represents the Twitch and the green arc is the ease-in and out time of the activated property. You can easily make Twitches fast or slow with this option.

6 Built-in Operators; Unlimited Uses:

Blur Operator:
The blur function contains some of the most advanced features including a threshold slider, transfer modes, and aspect control.

Color Operator:
One of the most fun and useful functions allows you to colorize your twitches as well as randomize color for exciting situations.

Light Operator:
Similar to an exposure function, this operator allows you to choose from adding brightness or darkness to your Twitches or even both.

Scale Operator:
With built in Motion Blur and random anchor selection the Scale operator will give you endless possibilities.

Slide Operator:
One of the most fun to use, the Slide operator has many controls over slide, motion blur, tendency and the advanced RGB Split.

Time Operator:
You can even randomly offset footage forward or backwards with this handy operator control.

Use Twitch with:
Motion Graphics
Music Videos
Film Flashbacks
Transitions
Frightening Effects & more

Total Control:
Each Operator has an on/off switch that allows you to toggle on or off individual effects with ease. These functions are controlled by a master Amount and Speed Slider allowing you to quickly keyframe multiple operators with a single parameter.

Each Operator also includes advanced individual controls over Speed, Amount and the option to use a unique random seed value.

Save Time with Twitch and let it do the complex work for you!

Twitch Tutorials

Over 75 minutes of video tutorials included. This set of training videos covers many advanced features of this powerful plug-in, from distortion FX, to Film shifting and Twitching to the beat of music.

Tutorial List:

01. In-Depth Twitch Features
02. Bad Film Twitch
03. ParticleDesign
04. Twitch to Audio
05. Video Noise Distortion
06. AdvancedFunctions
07. 32 bpc Effects

More Functions & Features:

Twitch Only:
With this function enabled, the plug-in will only render the frames that have twitching and leave the rest transparent. This is a great tool for blending 2 separate shots with twitch.

Freeze Twitch:
Not exactly a function of Twitch, but using After Effects you can hold the twitch values over an entire piece of footage. The values are still editable and you can still modify settings.

Film Piracy, Organized Crime, and Terrorism

Booktraining — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:49:00 +0000

Gregory F. Treverton, Carl Matthies, Karla J. Cunningham, Jeremiah Goulka, Greg Ridgeway, Anny Wong, “Film Piracy, Organized Crime, and Terrorism”
RAND Corporation | 2009 | ISBN: 0833045652 | 190 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

From Preface
This report presents the findings of research into the involvement of
organized crime and terrorist groups in counterfeiting a wide range
of products, from watches to automobile parts, from pharmaceuticals
to computer software. It presents detailed case studies from around
the globe in one area of counterfeiting, film piracy, to illustrate the
broader problem of criminal—and perhaps terrorist—groups finding a
new and not-much-discussed way of funding their nefarious activities.
Although there is less evidence of involvement by terrorists, piracy is
high in payoff and low in risk for both groups, often taking place under
the radar of law enforcement….
