Event Details:

Hollywood is looking for a "hook" for the Movie theater experience that the home theater can't easily reproduce to keep people coming in. One strategy is Stereographics (3D, think 3D glasses like in the 50's, but much better visual technology).

Blue Sky ("Ice Age", "Robots", "Ice Age: the Meltdown", "Horton Hears a Who") will release a new feature soon, "Ice Age: The Dawn of the Dinosaurs", that was planned from the beginning for Stereographic showing in the movie theater.

Jayme Wilkinson is the Supervisor in charge of that pre-planning at Blue Sky. When you use Stereographics, there are problems that the production process hasn't had to wrestle with yet. Problems like limitations of CG cameras, rendering proper camera animation, human factors of the audience, limits of movie theater projector technologies, cost-benefit tradeoffs on equipment in the theater, and how to use these for art.

In this special Planet Digital Seminar Event, Jayme will explore these problems of Stereographics production for film and discuss the solutions that Blue Sky is using for their new feature. This is a one-time only special engagement, and an opportunity to learn from one of the pioneers in this emerging technology - so don't miss it!
