On November 6th, the event will focus on Acquisition, VFX and Production; on November 7th, the focus will shift to Workflow and Data Management, as well as New Tech and New Talent. “Entertainment Technology Expo brings together the best solutions to the challenges faced by content creators today,” says Createasphere president Kristin Petrovich Kennedy. “It's two days of education, interaction, product launches, workshops, panels and speaker presentations, all in the friendly, hands-on setting that Createasphere has built its reputation on.”
Event highlights include a series of intensive sessions on emerging technologies led by representatives of Canon, JVC, Sony, Panasonic and New Blue FX—all free to attendees with an Expo Pass. American Cinematographer magazine will lead a wide-ranging discussion on the collaboration between cinematographers and producers. The Society of Camera Operators will be back for a fourth year to offer insightful tips and tricks from some of the best practitioners of their craft under the title “How'd You Get that Shot?!@?!”
LumaForge founder and CEO Neil Smith will lead a panel surveying best practices in 4K production. “ETE is a must for anyone who works in content creation and wants to know what is going on technologically or what new business models are going to emerge in the months and years ahead,” Smith observes. “This show has something for everyone: producers, camera operators, post-production people, editors, visual effects artists and those involved in content delivery.”
A new addition to the event, ETE Master Class workshops will include more than a dozen sessions across two tracts and four theaters. Developed in response to requests from attendees of past ETE events, these unique workshops will be led by top working pros and provide hands-on training in such areas as 4K production, on-set dailies processing, color management and time-lapse cinematography. Each session focuses on the latest technologies and industry practices and is designed to provide serious professionals with practical information that they can immediately apply to their work.
“The Entertainment Technology Expo ranks high among professionals,” says Igor Riđanović, colorist and finishing artist, Kappa Studios, who will lead workshops on color management and Avid's new Media Composer 7. “People attend these seminars for a simple reason—they want to get better—and they do because each workshop is conducted in an exciting peer-to-peer environment.”
The Exhibition Hall will host on-going demonstrations of the latest in cameras, lenses, lighting, editing systems, color correctors, storage technology and much more (including a raffle with great prizes!).
