World Bank Water project for Andhra Pradeshguest0bc3481b
The document summarizes irrigation reforms in Andhra Pradesh, India that were supported by the World Bank.

This included establishing water user associations and transferring operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructure to these groups. However, the reforms faced challenges from policy contestation among different actors like irrigation bureaucrats and users. While the reforms aimed to increase participation, they did not fully decentralize control and served to preserve existing power structures over water management.

To simulate a camera dolly or track for smooth camera movement without the proper equipment, the filmmakers mounted one of the actors or assistants to a trolley that a friend pushed slowly to achieve panning shots. Chairs were also placed around the edges of the white backdrop sheet to keep it flat and prevent movement during filming. The lighting setup included two bright red lights to illuminate the set and reduce shadows, a soft box to soften the video quality, and fluorescent lights above to eliminate shadows behind the actors.

Takomborerwa Mazarura conducted a lighting experiment to find a way to eliminate shadows behind actors in a music video. They set up mock conditions with a backdrop and substitute actor. By placing a secondary light behind the substitute actor and moving them closer to the primary light, they were able to remove the shadow without additional shadows or contrasting light. This solution gave the desired effect of the actor seeming to emerge from the light, mimicking techniques used in other music videos.

Video Production Using Open Source ToolsCrazed Mule
Abstract: Over the last decade, farms of Linux servers have powered the production of major motion pictures. Today, individuals can use Linux to produce and distribute video in numerous formats; for example, YouTube, iTunes, DVD, and Blu Ray. Linux is no longer a hobbyists' tool, but a powerful production system that can be custom tailored. However, setting up a system like this is not for the faint of heart. Video and audio encoding and compression schemes can drive one to drink. Editing software in Linux is not polished, but difficulties can be overcome with perseverance. I will attempt to show how to create a working production workflow using Fedora, Cinelerra and various open source tools to produce a video ready for YouTube, iTunes, DVD and Vimeo.
