CIANT has just finished its 7th issue of the series of Transistor workshops. This year, the first module was focused on digital preservation whereas the second one was focused on proffessional training in S-3D movie making following the whole process from script to post-production.

Here are some wrap-up data…

Numbers

Altogether there were:

36 participants from 9 European countries
22 professional and experienced tutors
2 modules, 4 workshops
over 128 hours of lectures, presentations and hands-on experience
many new friendships and proffessional contacts

Topics

Preservation Techniques and Methodologies for Digital Audiovisual Works
Integrated Approach to 3D Cinema and Stereoscopy
S-3D Movie Making – From Script to Shooting
S-3D Post-production: Visual Effects and S-3D CGI Sequences

Quotes

We also review the definition and development of economic ‘goods’, as reminders of the concepts of value and public value. We conclude with a BBC proposition around a general digital public space. Heritage content is currently held in bondage by economic constraints (particularly copyright) that need to be transcended to release the greater value of “the goods” held in national archives and other heritage institutions.
Richard Wright, BBC, UK (Tutor for the Module I workshop)

Participants’ quotes

Overall I´m glad to have attended this workshop. I´m very satisfied with the production crew and assistance. And the willingness of the professionals and teachers.
Maximo Diaz /ESP/ (participated in Workshop 2 and 3 of the Module II)

The most valuable European training experience as a filmmaker. I would recommend it to any film scholl graduate and professional. Important seminar / workshop for imternational collaboration..
Georgios Delis /GR/ (participated in workshop 1 and 2 of the Module II)

Module II workshop 3: Learning About S-3D Post-production

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:16:28 +0000

The last week of August, CIANT hosted the last of the series of the TransISTor workshops, following the line that was drawn and the beginning of July when the Module II was commenced. This time, the workshop was focused on the post-production processes of the S-3D footage that was shot during the last workshop in Prague (July 18-21).

The participants split their time between the CIANT Lab and an upscale post-production studio MagicLab which is based is a near neighborhood of Nusle.

One of the highlights of the workshop was the presence of Todd Margolis, Technical Director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts at University of California, San Diego, who brought some brand new equipment which he passed on to the participants who were also given some creative tasks that taught them how to handle and work with a previously unknown device. Especially the bloggie cameras which are being released just now were one of the hits of the workshop.

This year´s edition of the series of workshops met an extraordinary interest for which CIANT is very proud of.

Therefore, we´d like to thank everyone who engaged in this project and helped us move it forward!

The third workshop of the S-3D module is being organized in the partnership with Fresh Film Fest and the post-production studio MagicLab that offered us a highly professional and reliable background.
Under the guidance of skilled and experienced tutors like documentary filmmaker Tomas Petran, Jan Burianek (AV MEDIA) and the staff of MagicLab, the participants will learn about the practical possibilities of S-3D post-production.

We are also very happy to welcome our guest tutor – Todd Margolis, Technical Director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts at University of California, San Diego – who has had a long- term experience in the field and who will give his presentation on virtual reality and mixed reality in S-3D system.

TransISTor S-3D Movie Making Workshop participants shooting in Prague

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:44:50 +0000

This week, the third of the four workshops of this year´s TransISTor edition was commenced at CIANT´s residence in the Prague neighborhood Zizkov. The workshop focuses on stereoscopic filmmaking techniques and practices.

The participants from the Czech Republic, Greece, Lithuania, Spain, Poland and Austria will be trained in S-3D filmmaking techniques under the tutorship of experienced professionals of Celine Tricart and Yves Pupulin from BINOCLE, a French company whose strong professional background is strongly valued by filmmaking professionals. Joining them are Tomas Petran, a Czech accomplished documentary filmmaker together with Asen Sopov, one of the most well-known Czech cinematographers.

A trailer promoting the TransISTor project will be one of the outcomes of the workshop. The next workshop will be focused on its postproduction and will take place in Prague during Fresh Film Fest (International Festival of Students ´Films and First Feature Films) that became one of the TransISTor´s partners this year.

TransISTor 2011 started the series of workshops focused on S-3D filmmaking in Cyprus. Two weeks after the one and only workshop focused on digital preservation, the TransISTor team moved on to another island in the Mediterranean to learn how to make a movie in 3D while not having a monumental Hollywood-like budget at disposal.

Celine Tricart from Binocle was one of the tutors who specializes in S-3D filmmaking with low budget. Cedric Alexandre Saudinos (Parallell Cinema) took advantage of his rich experiences while talking about storyboarding and its role in the course of preparation a 3D movie. The workshop had only first-class tutors to offer: Tomas Petran, a well-know Czech filmmaker, David Steiner from Parallell Cinema and Yiorgos Chrysanthou and Efstathios Stavrakis from Cyprus who talked about stereoscopy 3D in arts.

The workshop was an important introduction especially for those participants who plan on taking part in all three workhops focusing on S-3D filmmaking. The two upcoming workshops in Prague will create a practical component to the priceless information that were presented in the beautiful environment of our partner organization – Artos Foundation.
