There’s a lot of ‘cast’ in the title.
Here are a stack of videos from Duke University’s recent symposium on podcasting. Of particular relevance are the technical and podcasting in the classroom sessions.

Plasma Obesity
A sign of the vacuous nature of modern life?
‘Innovative kinetic design for the contemporary living space‘ = a dvd for your plasma TV of moving patterns.
Almost as woeful as those dvd aquariums . . .

Film is dead
I’m quite taken by the forcefulness with which Robert Rodriguez (maker of Sin City, Once upon a time in Mexico) declares that film is dead.
“People ask if I would go back to shooting film. I say, “I’m driving a Ferrari — why would I go back to a horse and buggy?” Artists are usually technology-averse, although there are some who are pioneers, cutting-edge people. The movie industry is still shooting film, but everyone else is shooting digital.”
His Ten Minute Film School is great.
been playing PSP ’till me hands cramp up… Its got that one thing all other small format mobile devices dont have – a truly KILLER screen. Crisp, Sharp, Wide and Bright. I think its possibilities as a platform for mobile micro cinema are huge.. version 2 of the firmware put in a quite capable browser to go with the built in wireless and so RSS and Pod-cast-like video feeds are an obvious step. Potential for museum and gallery spaces…? HUGE. If we dont someone else will…
www.pspunch.com are already running competitions and hosting for PSP video. Sony themselves ran a PSP short film comp. www.yourpsp.com.au
I’ve also put some of my own video works up as PSP format ready files. www.luciferjones.org/videomedia.htm

Here’s some entries for a little competition where movie trailers were re-edited to change the genre of the film. They are quite amazing. (originally from Snarkmarket)
The Shining (winner) – http://www.ps260.com/molly/SHINING%20FINAL.mov
West Side Story – http://www.ps260.com/Trailer/westsidestorytrailer_small.mov

(update)
Here’s a link to the New York Times article on it.
Robert Ryang, 25, a film editor’s assistant in Manhattan, graduated from Columbia three years ago with a double major in film studies and psychology. This week, he got an eye-opening lesson in both.
Since 2002, Mr. Ryang has worked for one of the owners of P.S. 260, a commercial postproduction house, cutting commercials for the likes of Citizens Bank, Cingular and the TriBeCa Film Festival.
A few weeks back, he said, he entered a contest for editors’ assistants sponsored by the New York chapter of the Association of Independent Creative Editors. The challenge? Take any movie and cut a new trailer for it — but in an entirely different genre. Only the sound and dialogue could be modified, not the visuals, he said.
