Just in the last newsletter I wrote about how impressed I was we were
able to keep sending out these newsletters so regularly... now what a
disgrace - that was almost 5 months ago. We pledge to be behave better
in the future. Maybe desk-notes would not have been such a bad idea
after all.....

User Floating.point recently started assembling an Apertus based
Stereo 3D rig. Sparked by this effort the software modifications to
allow Stereo recording are coming along nicely recently. Let's hope we
can soon add some "depth" with new 3D footage on the website. Keep the
red/green glasses on for now :)
All progress can be watched in this forum thread:

Maybe the longest forum thread we have on our forums so far is the
search for an Apertus logo (over 1300 views already) . While their
have been a wide range of concepts and ideas from all different
aspects of the philosophy behind the project (like the Apertus snail
mascot) already - the one single idea that is so obvious perfectly
fitting the project that everyone jumps up and says "YES, that's it
and nothing else" has not occurred yet. So head over to
http://apertus.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=54 and the get the ideas
flowing once again. We really want to be jumping up in the air!


Just yesterday we published an interview we gave to the Russian film
making blog blackbyrd.ru. If you want to see what we were able to
counter after being presented with the question: "Aggressive question:
What is Elphel — a revolutionary ready-to-use non-major-brand good
video camera until you turn yourself to Arri Digital or — ordinary
Chinese CCTV toy with custom housing and nothing-interesting picture
quality?" head over to: http://apertus.org/en/node/134 to read the
full interview. Or if you prefer Russian: http://blackbyrd.ru/news/archives/655


Enough text for today, whoever made it as far as here reading this
newsletter gets an extra present: Some new Video footage shot with
Apertus. Both projects related to Music - of two very different genres
though:
Classic bassoon music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edaZMFRheGg
death metal music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMouCmJUTlc
