October 2010 Meeting

SMPTE Detroit Section will meet next Tuesday October19 at The Art Institute of Michigan, 28125 Cabot Drive, Suite 120, Novi, MI 48377. The meeting starts at 7:00 PM (note earlier start time).

Meeting topic:
Mr. Bob Zeichner will impart to us some newly-acquired knowledge and insight pertaining to this year’s hot-button item, 3D/Stereoscopic imaging.

“The business of 3-D production is complex and very different from traditional television. A successful end product requires much thought and preparation to capitalize on the effect without torturing your intended audience. My presentation is more of a synopsis of how 3-D works and the steps involved from capture to presentation with an emphasis on the acquisition aspects of the process. I won’t have equipment on which to demonstrate any of this, but armed with a dry marker, I will attempt to illustrate some of the more important points while all of this remains fresh in my memory.”
