HPA Announces Power-Packed Line Up for
SMPTE 2014 Symposium, Making Do With More
SMPTE 2014 Pre-Conference Event Explores the Impact of Image and Sound Advancements for Content Creators
October 13, 2014 (Los Angeles, CA/White Plains, NY) The Hollywood Post Alliance will for the first time, host the SMPTE Symposium, Making Do With More, in advance of the SMPTE 2014 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition. The day-long event is set for Monday, October 20, 2014, at Hollywood's historic El Capitan Theatre. The event brings together top technology experts and leading filmmakers to explore the impact of enriched image and sound technologies for today's content creators.
As the changing techniques and workflows in production and post meet an equally evolving environment in distribution and audience options, the HPA plays an invaluable role in helping to make sense of an increasingly complex and evolving content ecosystem. The SMPTE 2014 Symposium will include creative sessions with renowned filmmakers, cinematographers, visual effects artists, sound specialists, and colorists providing an in-depth discussion on the challenges they face and the expansive opportunities now open to them with new tools to support their vision.
Leon Silverman, President of the HPA, noted, The Symposium is HPA's coming out party' for our partnership with SMPTE and in typical HPA fashion, we hope to provide a forum for these important industry discussions. Technology, filmmaker options and consumer choices are driving us to learn how the Hollywood professional community can better understand how to evolve our current workflows to meet the demands and characteristics of next generation content and delivery platforms. These sessions demonstrate the value of HPA working together with SMPTE to create a powerful forum to drive greater awareness, industry knowledge and understanding.
The SMPTE 2014 Symposium lineup includes:
