HPA Tech Retreat 2011 Day 1HPA Super Session 2011—Snowflake Workflows
HPA set the stage for the Super Session with these words: “With all the options in workflow today, it seems no two projects are exactly alike. Just like snowflakes, our projects begin beautiful, shiny, and a unique wonder to behold. But as they slowly drift to their final destination, they seem to just turn into slush, as we leave them behind searching for our next wonderful, pristine, new way.” more »

There’s a quiet gathering in Palm Springs every February. Many of the post-production industry’s leading luminaries, along with a gaggle of production folks, hangers-on, and ne’er-do-wells (including your correspondent) assemble for the Hollywood Post Alliance’s Tech Retreat, three and a half days of discussion about where the industry is and where it’s going. more »

Compositing in FCP X
On this week’s MacBreak Studio
On this week’s MacBreak Studio, I show Steve Martin from Ripple Training a few things I’ve discovered in my exploration of the compositing features in Final Cut Pro X.
David Atkins Enterprises and Digital Pulse use Adobe software for record-setting arena projection
Australian production studio delivers animation for the 12th Arab Games, on record-size projection space, using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
In December 2011, the 12th quadrennial Arab Games took place in Doha, Qatar at Khalifa International Stadium. As part of the planning process for the Doha games, the world-renowned event production agency, David Atkins Enterprises (DAE), was commissioned to conceive and produce the opening and closing ceremonies. Following this commission, DAE contracted Australian digital design and video production specialists, Digital Pulse, to produce the animated visuals for the opening ceremony including the athletes’ parade and cultural segments. Far from a conventional production canvas, the animated visuals that the Digital Pulse team were to produce for the event would have to play seamlessly across the stadium’s two different playback systems: a contiguous LED system installed behind all stadium seats and an 86-projector projection system that covered a world record 12,600 cubic metres of on-field projection space.
