Henninger Media Services Presented Finishing in High Def
"Finishing in High Def" was a series of three workshops in February 2009 teaming CINE and longtime sponsor Henninger Media Services, aimed at updating and de-mystifying the fast-growing and ever-changing world of high-definition and digital production.
The first in this series, "Digital Glue: Keeping It Together," was a hands-on workshop that provided a firm grounding in formats, files and Codecs. It covered the areas of editorial and graphics, workflows and systems available in today's post-production environment.
The next seminar, "Audio All Around," covered the latest in audio technology, with emphasis on mixing for surround sound.
The series will wrapped up with "Picture Perfect," addressing the visual aspect of high-def, including optimization and effects in color correction, passing QC, and understanding compression for non-broadcast distribution.
CINE Presented Brainstorm to Broadcast
CINE's launched its new Educational Series with "Brainstorm to Broadcast" at the Goethe-Institut in downtown Washington, D.C. on November 20, 2008. This first program in the new series, designed to provide information and networking opportunities to the film and television community, brought together a diverse group of student and professional filmmakers.
A reception preceded the screening of The Cole Conspiracy, which was the subject of the evening's panel and discussion on how films get made and broadcast. The film, broadcast by History and produced by Washington-based Story House Productions, tells the dramatic story of the bombing of the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen in 2000 and the terrorist network that executed both the Cole bombing and September 11, 2001 attacks.
Panelists Carl Lindahl, the History VP who executive-produced The Cole Conspiracy, and Carsten Oblaender, the Story House Co-President who wrote, directed and produced the film, provided insight into the making and broadcast of the film in the question and answer session that followed the screening. A unique perspective on the film was provided by the evening's special guest, Commander Kirk Lippold, USN (RET.) who commanded the USS Cole at the time of the attack. Moderating the panel was CINE Board Member Mat Tombers of Intermat, who fielded questions on topics including how to interest a particular network in your film, the relationship between network ratings and budget, and the use of production devices such as graphics and reenactments.
