HPA has unveiled a robust suite of virtual programs to provide the production and post-production industry with critical technical knowledge and offer opportunities to build community both during and beyond the COVID crisis. The slate of content is free with registration for the foreseeable future.
Created and moderated by industry leading volunteers along with HPA staff and leadership, the first webinars began with a focus on the key skills and technology necessary for remote workflow, and the content will continue to center on topics of critical interest to the industry. A few of the new offerings are under the auspices of the NET committee, and will augment future in-person NET events.
HPA NET Presents: Critical Conversations
Webinars: A series of moderated webinars and video interviews featuring industry experts in conversation. Critical Conversations launched with What We Learned from Creating in the Cloud: A Case Study, focusing on the technology featured in the virtual production of The Lost Lederhosen at the 2020 HPA Tech Retreat; followed by Collaborating in the Cloud Part 2, presented in collaboration with American Society of Cinematographers and featuring the director, DP, VFX supervisor, and camera operator from The Lost Lederhosen; and Government Support for the Industry During the COVID 19 Crisis, featuring experts from Ernst & Young. Webinars, post event, are available at https://hpaonline.com/event/.
Video Interview Series: Launching in late April 2020 is a video interview series produced by industry vet Mark Chiolis (HPA Board, Mobile TV Group) who will dig into incisive conversations with thought leaders. HPA NET Presents Critical Conversations with Mark Chiolis will debut with Dolby Chief Scientist Poppy Crum. AVID President Jeff Rosica and Mark Radonis, SVP of Bunim-Murray Productions follow in upcoming episodes to address today's most relevant topics.

In the words of HPA President Seth Hallen, HPA is the hub that provides our community with incredible information, shared by some of the most brilliant and engaged experts, and presents the very latest developments. We're really fortunate to have our own impressive roster of members and volunteers who have the will and ability to turn their inspired ideas into reality that benefits our audience. It's absolutely thrilling to collaborate with staff, volunteers, and speakers to share the considerable gifts of engagement that are present in these virtual events. The announcement of our growing focus on creating valuable content is part of a range of activities and initiatives that HPA is working to serve and connect our community. As always, we ask you to let us know what information and support they are looking for, and we will always do our best to deliver.
The virtual programs are taking place thanks to the generosity of HPA foundation members Avid, Dolby, EFILM, Encore, Deluxe Toronto, and Level 3 Post; NET sponsors Avid and Zeiss; and WIP gold sponsor Adobe and silver sponsor Quantum.
