THE DYNAMIC CASE STUDY: FROM PRODUCTION THROUGH POST WITH RED IN THE REAL WORLD
Join Ted Schilowitz, Leader of the Rebellion, (RED Digital Cinema) Michael Cioni, Chief Knowledge Officer, (PlasterCITY Digital Post, LLC); Joseph Toman (disarm films) and Cinematographer Bengt Jonsson for an in depth discussion illuminating the tools that are changing production-post pathways for the creative community. A robust workflow is evolving for working with ultra high-resolution digital footage, as filmmakers take the technology into the real world to shoot 4k and edit and finish features, shorts, commercials and episodics. Employing the RED ONE camera and Final Cut Studio, these experts illustrate how reality meets the promise of cutting edge tools, and gives attendees a viable pathway to apply them. Moderated by: Neil Matsumoto, Executive Editor, ICG Magazine.

DOES TECHNOLOGY DEFINE THE AUDIENCE OR DOES THE AUDIENCE DEFINE THE TECHNOLOGY?
How do creators and technology experts understand and speak to the entertainment consumer in the volatile landscape of change? Even as technologies expand and the digital home falls into place, the audience is fragmenting, creating, evolving. A few innovative companies have taken non-traditional approaches to understanding how and what their audience is watching. Françoise Bourdonnec is Director of Domestic Designs and Technologies Research at Intel, a driving force within the company’s Digital Home Group (DHG). Their goal is to develop a clear & actionable understanding of daily life globally, and to identify opportunities which enable valuable experiences for consumers, all the while merging original insights with technology. Join Françoise in a thought provoking, engaging conversation with David S. Cohen, Associate Editor, Features at Variety about the people that the creative community and technologies must reach. What do they really want to see? How will they see it? How are they redefining content creation? This is an unusual opportunity to learn about industry-defining research from a leading expert.

4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Oasis Patio
