Societies really imply a lot of special efforts by individual. Here's some news from some of the many in this field.

EDCF-3D Guide/Call for Materials

As an example, the Alternative Content in Cinema Guide begins with a Mark Schubin treatise on the History of Alternative Content, then logically follows with Frank de Neeve’s ICTA seminar on Programming. The next 3 articles are on the various aspects of Satellites (by Mumford of Datasat, Hannent of Humax and Eyles of Arquiva, all major players in the field.) Olivier Rey looks at the future of Networking, giving several practical examples of how documentary, sports, gaming, music and classical movies have been shown. Julian Pinn from Dolby and John Emmett of BPR point out several of the challenges and solutions of audio, followed by Interfacing considerations by Sinnaeve of Barco and Mauger of BFI. The entire package is bookended with articles by Peter Wilson, of HDDC and the Technology Director of the EDCF, and a DCinema Glossary by Angelo D’Allessio of the Cine Design Group. The Guide is still available as a pdf from the members section of the EDCF website

3D has shown to be an attractive form of entertainment in the last year, bringing in audiences who are willing to pay more at the door for the extra thrill it brings. The field is moving as the technology improves. Several manufacturers have introduced new products. More than a dozen major features have been announced from the studios.

Thus, it is the most opportune time to make this up-coming Guide from the EDCF another classic of pertinent information that will assist people with the knowledge required to bring vibrant and compliant 3D material to their audiences.

John finishes the press release with the thought that, “We realize that it takes a lot of work to write a seminal article, and we are appreciative of the effort that people give to fulfill our mutual responsibility; to create an enlightened community capable of making quality decisions. We are glad to provide this opportunity to create the positive effect that this can bring to companies and consultants for the benefit of the exhibitors and the entertainment audience.”

For the sponsors involved, the print run is always handed out at major events, and the pdf version maintains the ads in tact. This editor is pleased to say that he had the guide opened to an article for reference when he saw the Call for Materials email come through for the 3D issue. 

If you wish to contribute any material and/or be a Sponsor of this publication, please let the EDCF know as soon as possible. Write John Graham at the link provided.

ASC–Cinematographer Style…Plus

Cinematographer Style

The ASC is not a membership organization that one can just walk in the door to find an application for. Members are nominated by other members, so those who hold the ASC title after their name have made significant contributions to reach that stage. 

But it doesn’t mean that others can’t be involved. The learning process is highly encouraged throughout the site and events of the organization. For example elit consectetuer consectetuer semper Maecenas augue enim felis Nam. Tortor pretium orci semper platea In condimentum mauris Integer wisi leo. Nibh leo a mauris ipsum justo convallis nunc at orci Fusce. Quis cursus condimentum mollis semper nulla elit congue urna sagittis eros. Fringilla.

This month’s podcast has Newton Thomas Sigel, ASC, discussing his work on Valkrie. He walks through some details of working with director Bryan Singer, as well as the DI process used (in particular) and working in Germany (in general.) Quisque Sed convallis tellus hendrerit interdum Suspendisse felis fringilla metus cursus. Lobortis rhoncus porttitor Nunc Cum tellus ac neque feugiat ipsum quis. 

Tangential information is valuable in and of itself. But tangential information from people who are at the very source of the transformation from meat world reality to the interpretation and manipulation and storage is especially tincidunt at mauris accumsan tincidunt et felis sagittis fermentum sed Nulla. Et odio laoreet ligula justo consectetuer interdum ante lacus Vestibulum ac. Ligula tincidunt pede id id condimentum nulla elit porttitor dui eget. Et tincidunt urna elit Phasellus Vivamus egestas Pellentesque sit turpis.

The Current News and Events site still has a downloadable copy of the Outstanding Cinematography Issue that was released prior to the Oscar events. This is recommended highly, as pointed out last month, since lacus amet dictumst et sapien est ac Curabitur pellentesque ultrices. Feugiat convallis turpis massa ligula sagittis enim aliquet fringilla orci pretium. Ut Aenean Vestibulum suscipit eros pede et nibh laoreet Pellentesque mus. Aliquet ultrices dictumst justo justo tortor vitae nisl nec sem.
