Vilm - video that tries to look like film.

I coined the term while writing this article on DV and digi-indy filmmaking. (Send me your email and I'll send you the article).

So you heard it here first, k?

that's like how we used to say instead of being "shot on film", it's "shot on pixel"...

There's a guy who's been showing a "VILM" camera at NAB the last few years. Don't remember what company it is, but they called it something like a Video Film Simulation Camera or something like that. I think it looked like a Betacam type of unit, with a big VILM logo on the side...

... man, I should just search Google before posting.

VILM was apparently invented by Emmy award winner Eddie Barber, the guy who invented the EZ Prompter. I guess he had info at www.vilm.com for a while, but with the advent of the DVX I guess he let it expire.

Hey, don't feel bad mosesma... I invented the "Big Wheel" back in '59, the skateboard back in '57 and a whole slue of other stuff over the years I've never been given credit (or money) for.

When I was about 8, I honestly believed I had come up with the phrase "no way, Jose'."

Cept maybe Bosley.

Hey, that's a just a syllable away from "indigent," which describes many hungry young filmmakers . . .

Re: I just coined a new term - "vilm"

Did you guys notice how very few female members we've got here ?

In my adolescent dreams, I thought movie-making was the perfect business to be in if you wanted to become a Casanova. Urban legend probably...

Unless... Maybe the girls have their DVXuserette site, a very secret one, where they NEVER discuss technical issues — they just complain about their boyfriends' addiction to their camera and share the various techniques to get them back on the right track.

Anyone's discovered the adress of this Eldorado ? I guess the first one of us who'll find it won't reveal it anyway : he'll be like the peacock in Chicken Run...

My wife wants to sign-up right now!

I dont get it. She loves the DVX thong underwear. Or is it I who loves it?
