Well, my RED reservation isn't up until December, so I'm patiently
waiting, goo'ing over the everyone elses footage (only 25 cameras so
far, so there's not much to look at yet).  Obviously, the first step in
this effort is to get a gstreamer plugin for the REDCODE wavelet codec.
But also to ensure that gstreamer/gNonLin/Piviti can handle that kind of
footage (4k resolution, 12-bit color, and 100fps).  Certainly a good
start would be a DPX-sequence source.

As for versatile... well, let's wait a little while on that verdict. :-)

I can sum it up rather briefly with two technologies: OpenGL (Ie,
Hardware Accelerated), and Surface/multitouch Interface.

Perhaps it was a bit presumptuous to think that this was "linux"
material, but, what the hell...

Local UFO sightings in the desert outside of town, bring together two
unlikely UFO enthusiasts determined to get Proof of Existence.  But
there's a problem.  Jordan's, an attractive college student, is a
serious researcher.  Jim's a hard-core Trekkie, whose presence will
taint any finding she makes.  But, when Jim discovers Jordan is really a
closet Star Wars fan, the weapons go "online".

Truth be told, the story is better than the footage.  The actress
playing Jordan had a hard time with some of her dialog (the script has
some difficult lines, and she was pretty inexperienced), but it's still
a fun script.  We shot it for under $200.  And I still need to shoot
some pickup shots to make the story work in editing.  I'll try and post
a copy of the script, and some footage in the next day or two.

I think I can handle that...  So, first order of Piviti business:  Is
there a design document, development timeline, etc. that I can review?
