Digital Media World Festival

You know how you do things that are big, but then you kind of forget to promote them? Well I was moving house, renovating, had the flu and I presented at Digital Media World in Melbourne back in June. I was supposed co-present with 37 South's Colin Bell, but he was shooting on the feature 'Storm Warning' so I was flying solo. I basically covered the HD workflow and camera's I've had the experience of using. I figured if I'm following the very cool Jason Ballantine (editor of Wolf Creek) and being followed by guys from Pixar, I should cover the nuts and bolts. It seemed to go down well. The (quite inaccurate) blurb for my talk is below.

"In today’s digital video production environment, the traditional post-production facility faces a challenge in accommodating many different approaches to shooting and editing. High definition acquisition comes in many forms, whether it’s the new generation of low cost HDV camcorders, DVCPRO HD, HDCAM, Varicam or traditional Super 16mm film. Learn how 37south is dealing with the demands of a divergent clientele working in HD across a range of media from TV and film commercials to sales presentations"
