Today we worked on pre-production for the Havelka video spot at the World Trade Center in Dallas.

Judy Havelka Enterprises, LTD. is an “extraordinary botanical” design company revolutionizing the way fragranced products are developed and utilized within interior spaces. All of her products are “handmade” with natural explosions of fragrance, color and texture.

A MasteredMinds Production Team was hired to create three, quality video products. Today was a pre-production run for the crew and a chance for the video host to get comfortable in front of the camera. We also needed to check lighting, sound, and color. It was extremely helpful to see how Judy was going to present her products in the showroom.

After only a little bit of coaching, she did an excellent job! We’re going to meet again later before D-day to go over script development and presentation tips. After today’s run-through, I’m confident the final shoot is going to run smoothly.

I’ll be shooting with my SONY FX-1 HDV camera. To compensate for the lack of independent audio level controls I use a beachtek adapter and a shotgun mic. We set up a simple 1500watt 3 light umbrella kit which was more than sufficient to light our host and product in the showroom.

After searching Google for an hour, and not finding a good example of this, I finally figured it out and decided to write my own. Hope you find this example useful.

I am assuming, if you are reading this, that you need to read a directory in your controller and output the results of the read in the view. You should first know, that the method I am using uses the “public” folder as the root directory for your reading. All the files and directories you are trying to read, must be located within the “public” folder. For the sake of this example, lets assume you are trying to read the contents of the “public/images/” directory, and out put the file paths in your view.

First we start with the code for the controller, my example adds a parameter from the URL to specify which folder within the image folder you wish to read.

Controller Code:

def readImage
@files = Array.new
Dir["images/" + params[:id] + “/*”].each do |x|
@files << x
end
end

In our method, we first create a new Array object for the filenames contained in the diretory.

@files = Array.new

Next, we want to pull the files from the “images/” + params[:id] folder. We use the awesome object oriented nature of Ruby and call the each method on the Dir[] call. In line 2 we push “<<” the value contained in x into the @files array.

Dir["images/" + params[:id] + “/*”].each do |x|
@files << x
end

That is ALL THE CODE YOU NEED for the controller, now its on to the view.

In the view I am just going to show you how to output the data from the @files array. You can decide how you want to use it. You could put this in an img tag, or build out some <a> links to create downloadable files. Basically the following lines are needed.

View Code:

<% @files.each do |p| %>
<%= p %>
<% end %>

In the first line, we again use the object oriented nature of ruby to access the each method in the @files object that we created in our controller.

<% @files.each do |p| %>

From there we output the value for each file path and end our each loop.

<%= p %>
<% end %>

Pretty straight forward huh? If anyone has any questions or comments please let me know.
