Apple TV 1080p

It seems like the difference between 1080p and 720p is big, but it’s not. Ever notice how sports in HD looks amazing? Well, the major networks (ABC, ESPN, Fox) have 720p resolution for the HD programming. It’s not about pixels per inch as much as it is bit rate.

Apple TV Bit Rate

From cnet:

When it comes to streaming video, bit rate is much more important than resolution. Video bit rate basically states how much information is being used to create the video, and in general, the more information the better. (There are differences between different video compression formats, but bit rate is still a good general indicator of image quality.)
You can upscale a low-quality, low-bit-rate YouTube video to 1080p resolution, but it’s still going to look just as blocky, even though it’s technically 1080p. Since services like Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon VOD typically don’t disclose the bit rate of their streaming movies; the only way to tell which has better image quality is to actually look at the videos and compare.
Even if services were using relatively high bit rate 720p and 1080p video files, we wouldn’t necessarily be concerned about the difference in resolution. The difference between 720p and 1080p content just isn’t that noticeable on a standard-sized HDTV (50 inches of less) at a regular seating distance.

So, take it from me. I use Apple TV to stream Netflix and it looks just as good, if not better, than it does on my computer.

McGuffin by Hitchcock from isaac niemand on Vimeo.

From Wiki:

A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin or maguffin) is “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction”. The defining aspect of a MacGuffin is that the major players in the story are (at least initially) willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to obtain it, regardless of what the MacGuffin actually is. In fact, the specific nature of the MacGuffin may be ambiguous, undefined, generic, left open to interpretation or otherwise completely unimportant to the plot. (Examples might include money, victory/glory, survival, a source of power, a potential threat, etc….or something entirely unexplained.)

“Full of wry one-liners, well-spun anecdotes, and pithy observations on the movie-making industry.” — Village Voice

“Tales from the Script is actually the ideal summation on the art of screenwriting: rigorously structured, filled with great stories.” — NPR.org

Few modern art forms are as misunderstood as the craft of screenwriting, because the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the dominance of celebrity actors and directors obscures the contributions of screenwriters. So if you’re a writer eager to break into Hollywood or simply a movie buff excited to hear the stories behind your favorite films, this unique nonfiction book/documentary film project will captivate you with insights into the wild and mysterious world of Hollywood screenwriting.

Enjoy inside conversations with the men and women who dreamed up some of the world’s most beloved movie characters. Learn how they surmounted the incredible odds against breaking into Hollywood, and discover the myriad ways in which they transformed their ideas into films that topped the box office, launched the careers of major stars, and earned them Oscars. The stories behind the storytellers are as exciting, surprising, and inspirational as the narratives of their celebrated films.

Revel in the exploits of Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), John Carpenter (Halloween), Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally…), William Goldman (The Princess Bride), David Hayter (Watchmen), Paul Mazursky (An Unmarried Woman), Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost), Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), Ron Shelton (Bull Durham), and dozens of other Hollywood writers. For the full list, click here.

In addition to name-brand talents, Tales from the Script features newcomers whose stories prove that talented people can write their way into the top ranks of the movie industry. There’s Justin Zackham, who decided to write one last script before giving up on his flagging movie career; the script became The Bucket List, a sleeper hit starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. There’s Ari B. Rubin, a second-generation screenwriter who skipped his law-school entry exam to finish a screenplay that got optioned by Robert Redford. There’s Duncan Tucker, who scraped together money from real-estate ventures, friends, and family to make Transamerica, the bold story about gender issues that netted leading lady Felicity Huffman an Oscar nomination.

Tales from the Script puts readers into the trenches of the Hollywood development process through colorful stories about Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Adam Sandler, Joel Silver, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and many more. Entertaining, startling, and uplifting, this collection is a pure pleasure for those who dream of writing the Great American Screenplay—it’s a master class taught by those who made that dream come true.
