2009 World Congress of Science & Factual Producers : Melbourne, Australia December 1-4

How Did We Shoot That?

11:00 am - 12:30 pm Wednesday, Dec. 2

session room: Savoy 3

In a world of reality shows, distorted reality shows and recreated, computer-generated reality shows, REAL images can still amaze us and have the power to be more incredible than anything that can be cooked up by special effects. The luxuries of time and money needed to create eye-popping footage within the constraints of reduced budgets are ever harder to come by, but luckily the gear is getting better, smaller and more user friendly. Gena McCarthy, SVP of Development and Production at Discovery Channel, broadcaster of the groundbreaking Time Warp “high speed” show oversees a panel of film makers who are using some of the latest and greatest “REAL” imaging techniques to bring to life the world we can’t see with the naked eye and devising ingenious solutions to highly specialized sequences. With the help of NHK, world leaders in the field of scientific and technical imaging for television production, we will conduct a live demo of some of the latest high speed cameras.
