This is significant development. Hulu, the American TV aggregator site owned by Fox, NBC and ABC is introducing searching across captions. Searching subtitles or closed captions is the way to open up huge amounts of video content for research (speec…
3D, as they keep on telling us, is coming to the living room, and now here comes this report via Ars Technica of the Blu-ray Disc Association approving a final specification to deliver high definition 3D movies on Blu-ray discs - which would be back…

About me
I'm Luke McKernan, and I set up this network as a means to distribute information and share knowledge and interests with those working on all aspects of screen studies and who care for screen heritage in the UK.
I am an early film historian with great interest in new media - and all points in between. I'm keen on web publishing for research interests, and you can find more on my interests through my personal sites: www.lukemckernan.com, Who's Who of Victorian Cinema, (biographical guide to filmmaking before 1901), Charles Urban, Motion Picture Pioneer (early documentary producer), The Bioscope (blog on early and silent cinema) and BardBox (original Shakespeare videos online).
My job is Curator, Moving Image at the British Library. My email address, if you want to get in touch, is luke.mckernan [at] bl.uk.

Project Canvas to go ahead (provisionally)
The BBC Trust has given provisional approval to the BBC's involvement in Project Canvas, the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) project for which the BBC has partnered with ITV, Channel 4, Five, British Telecom and TalkTalk. Essentially Project Canvas has agreed a set of standards which will enable broadcast and Web content to appear on your TV screen, so with the help of a set-top box (expected to be in the shops in 2011) you can wat… Continue

Look out for 3D Blu-ray
3D, as they keep on telling us, is coming to the living room, and now here comes this report via Ars Technica of the Blu-ray Disc Association approving a final specification to deliver high definition 3D movies on Blu-ray discs - which would be backwards-compatible, so you could play the discs on 2D machines (though without the 3D effect, fairly obviously):

Kevin Parker said… - Hi Luke and thanks for your welcome. I stumbled on this site and wanted to register IMMEDIATELY. Just a little about me then; from October I'll be an OU PhD student looking at contemporary artists' film in relation to issues surrounding translation. Now I'm off to look around the site properly. Cheers again, Kevin.

- Hi Luke, good to be in touch again. FYI I am now working with BAFTA on a number of Archive and Screen projects (in development or waiting for final funding before go ahead). I look forward to keeping up with other developments and initiatives across screen research and expect to be receiving some valuable feedback from members of this group. All the best to everyone.

Terry Lindvall said… - thanks Luke, I stumbled across your site (and clapped my hands in polite glee) as I am finishing up another book for NYU Press and discovered that you had reviewed Hollywood Cesspool and other religious film books I had consulted years ago. What a delight to find such serendipitous threads and follow them back to their weavers. Thanks and God bless, Terry

- Luke,
Thanks for the welcome. I'm the new Social Media Officer at EDINA so my interest in all things screen tends to come with that perspective although I've also been a film reviewer, on and off, for about a decade so I have a lot of existing interest in films and culture.
Looking forward to having a good explore of the site!
