Skillset Media Academy hosts a week of 3D events
Students, alumni,
staff and members of the public are invited to join 3D Week from 15-19 November,
hosted by the Bournemouth Skillset Media Academy.
Presentations, screenings,
workshops, networking events and a debate will take place during the five days.
Topics covered will include 3D stereoscopy, 3D post production, 3D shooting, 3D
television and 3D cinema.
Murray Weston, Co-Director of Bournemouth Skillset
Media Academy said: “3D Week will engage with some of the most important
aspects of current developments in film and television production and exhibition.
It will also look back to the work of Victorian pioneers to give a complete overview
of how we have got to where we are with the technology.”
He continued:
“At the Bournemouth ODEON on 18 November, for instance, there will be a number
of technical demonstrations followed by a screening of the British 3D hit production
STREETDANCE. 3D camera rigs, history of 3D stereoscopy, 3D post-production, 3D
cinema projection and a ‘3D or not 3D?"’ debate are all part of
the 3D Week programme.”
Plus there will be evening social events
including a mid-week visit to The Westbourne in Bournemouth, one of Sky Television’s
3D pubs.
Much of the 3D Week activity will take place between BU and the
Arts University College Bournemouth (AUCB) and a full programme can be viewed
online at http://www.bsma.ac.uk/3dweek/programme.
The ‘3D or not 3D?” debate will close the week and will be
led by a panel including Adrian Wootton (Chief Executive of Film London), Gary
Kurtz (Producer of the early STAR WARS films) and Phil Jupitus will be Chairman.
Murray concluded: “Anyone interested in film, television or games
production has a need to engage with the up-to-date techniques and technologies
being developed to deliver 3D stereo images and sound to audiences. 3D moving
image media have been through a number of false dawns during the last century,
but the industry view is that 3D is now set to be part of the future, led by high-value
live services and block-buster productions.”
Visitors will need a
3D Week passport ticket (£15.00 for students and alumni and £45.00
for members of the public) which gives entry to all the events.
3D week
has been arranged with assistance from Panasonic, Sony, The Foundry, Holdan, The
Stereoscopic Society, ODEON group, Sky Television, Adobe, AVID, Nvidia, JVC, and
Teletest. It has additional support from the Creative Industries iNet (Innovation
Network) and South West Screen, to encourage knowledge transfer and new business
engagement.
