Today is the last day to register for the Calgary portion (January 11-12) of the Alberta HD Production Seminar. I'll be attending the Edmonton portion which takes place on January 14-15 and it seems there's still room for that one as well. Deadline for the Edmonton event is January 10. You are encouraged to call 403.284.8337 to inquire if room is still available after the deadlines.
The seminar is an Alberta Industry initiative courtesy of AMPIA, the Director's Guild of Canada - Alberta District Council, IATSE Alberta, Alberta Film, The Banff Centre, SAIT Polytechnic, NAIT, and the Government of Alberta. Various sponsors are also chipping in to make the event a success. From the website:
"High Definition (HD) is new technology revolutionizing film and television unlike anything seen in the industry. HD is not an upgrade of existing technology – it is the future and it is here now.Keynote speakers include:
Anyone who is thinking of staying in the film and television industry will benefit from this exciting and informative seminar. It will speak to everyone involved who bring stories to life – creative and technical, on set or location, in the studio and in the production office.
What is the advent of HD going to mean to the industry? Who is now and who is going to be working in HD? Why should everyone in the industry care? How will it affect jobs and how can someone looking ahead to a career in the film and television industry integrate HD into his or her career?
The workshop and seminar topics have been designed to cover these key questions with the goal of having everyone walk away with not only the answers, but also a thorough working knowledge of the impact HD is going to have on Alberta’s growing film and television industry. Much has been said and written about HD and it is essential that HD be demystified for all who are going to be working in it."
Hope to see you all there!
