Create a Perfect Alpha Channel for video
Want to understand Pixel Shaders a little better?  Clinton will show you how to think when designing pixel shaders, how they behave and their limitations.  He'll work through an example on creating the Perfect Alpha Channel for video embedded in Silverlight using a common practice used in After Effects and 3D/Stereosopic video.
 
Clinton has a keen interest in Video with several short film awards under his belt also a sound engineer who produced remixes for Kylie Minogue, Bardot and other acts in the early 2000's.  He began computer programming on a ZX81 in 1983 and has continued this passion through the years with a main focus on media and 3D vision(stereoscopy).  He is also creator of Stereosopic calculation software Stereoscopic Master, created in WinForms, now Silverlight.
