South Park (Season 5) DVD Review

April 5th, 2008

Politically incorrect in almost every way, South Park is a crudely drawn cartoon with an almost limitless number of hilarious and sarcastic moments. Stellar, sometimes off-the-wall writing makes up for poor animation in this series which follows the lives of four third-graders at South Park Elementary School: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. With an enormous supporting cast of eccentric characters, South Park rivals The Simpsons in its ability to create strange, yet believable personalities…

The South Park (Season 5) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “It His the Fan” in which Kyle gets four tickets to see The Lion King on stage, but he can’t find anyone (adult or child) willing to go because everyone in South Park is infatuated with the upcoming television broadcast of the show Cop Drama in which the word shit will be used on TV for the first time ever. When the big event occurs, it ends up changing South Park for the worse… Other notable episodes from Season 5 include “Cripple Fight” in which Big Gay Al becomes Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny’s Boy Scout leader, and “Cartmanland” in which Cartman’s grandmother dies and leaves him one million dollars which he then uses to purchase his own personal theme park…

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (Season 2) DVD Review

March 29th, 2008

Nominated for 19 Emmys and 5 Golden Globes, including Best TV Series - Drama, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman experienced the rare double victory of audience loyalty and widespread critical acclaim. Premiering in mid-season (January 1993), the hour-long CBS original series illustrated American frontier life like few other shows before it. Like the smash hit Little House On The Prairie, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman vividly portrays the hardship, struggle, and community kinship endemic to the era. One of the first Western-themed shows to cast a female doctor (as the star of the show nonetheless), Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman enjoyed a successful five-year run, marked by two highly-touted made-for-TV movies…

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman follows the exploits of Dr. Michaela “Mike” Quinn, a female doctor living in 19th Century America when that sort of thing was unheard of. Working for years as an assistant in her father’s New England medical practice, the death of her father prompts Dr. Mike to answer a want ad for a doctor in the thriving American frontier town of Colorado Springs. When she arrives, the town is taken aback, having expected she was a man. But Dr. Mike quickly endears herself with the townsfolk and expands her family by adopting three orphan children - Matthew (Chad Allen), Colleen (Erika Flores/Jessica Bowman), and Brian (Shawn Toovey). As the show progresses, she eventually marries local Byron Sully (Joe Lando), and the final seasons focus on the lives of their nuclear family. Sporting an assorted cast of loveable, and sometimes eccentric, characters, the town is never short of excitement or drama…

The Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (Season 2) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere “The Race” in which Snowbird gives Dr. Mike a pony as a gift to thank her for her work on the reservation. Dr. Mike decides to enter the horse in the lauded Territory Stakes Race, but official rules prohibit women from competing. When Dr. Cassidy, a neighboring township’s doctor, arrives on the scene, Dr. Mike tries to enlist his help, but he refuses. In the end, Dr. Mike disguises herself as a man in order to participate in the race… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “The Offering” in which Mike and Sully unwittingly convince the local Native Americans to accept government blankets infected with typhus, and “Just One Lullaby” in which Reverend Johnson falls in love with Colorado Springs’ newest schoolteacher, Louise Chambers, while Dr. Mike worries about her reliance on corporal punishment…

Video Production Companies

March 24th, 2008

Video production is the process of producing a video for commercial purposes like movies, advertisement, music, and corporate promotions, though some production also takes place in the form of home videos. Video production companies are firms that are engaged in the commercial production of video.

Most video production companies offer all the services that are required from the pre-production stage to the production stage, and later, to the post-production stage. Video production companies handle the pre-production work of conceptualizing, scripting, and scheduling, together with the critical job of planning and organizing the entire process. Proper planning can help keep the costs down. During the production stage, the companies are involved in setting up the equipment at the location and directing the filming. In the post-production stage, video production companies are engaged in editing and duplication.

The growth of this industry has been helped by the tremendous development in digital video production technology. The ever-increasing pool of talented and highly skilled personnel has also provided the vital support from the supply side. The Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers is a membership organization that brings together domestic and international video makers.

Video production companies are moving from the traditional arena of plain video production to offering their expertise on the Internet. Future growth for these companies is envisioned in the areas of web design, streaming video services, and interactive television and CD-ROM development. While concentrating on video production helps in providing an image of a sound production company, the future revenues for this industry are seen coming from activities that are focused upon the Internet.
