Acknowledgments

Many thanks go to Glenn Kennel, who helped to develop the original Cineon log film digitizing system and film recording for Kodak, and is one of the smartest people I have ever met. His patience and understanding while explaining the complexities of log film data were absolutely essential to those chapters. I would also like to thank Serena Naramore for taking the time to read the very rough drafts of the chapters and offering her very helpful suggestions and clarifications. Ken Littleton also gets a big thank you for reviewing the glossary and helping me to eschew obfuscation. I would also like to thank the three lovely ladies who grace the bluescreen and greenscreen pictures: Valerie McMahon, Kandis Leigh, and our cover girl Chelene Nightingale (yes, that's her real name!).

A special thanks to my darling wife, Diane, whose loving support and patient assistance in the effort to write this book were essential to its timely completion while still maintaining harmony in our lives. Not to mention that she personally photographed most of the pictures in the book, of course. Nicely done, honey!
