Createasphere's Post Production Master Class launched last year in Los Angeles, putting professional attendees into highly engaged interactions with the industry’s top experts over the course of two days. The Post Production Master Class is built around panels, Q&A's, demos, and informal exchanges over food and drink. Limited to 50 VIP attendees, the sessions are interactive and informative, and discussions focus on expertly managing the changing landscape of workflow.
Today's creative and technical environment precludes relying on information from single-minded sources or vendors, and content creators and post production team members must increasingly understand an entire pipeline; often creating solutions as the process unfolds. The Master Class focuses on existing solutions, emerging solutions, new ideas, and real-world information. As anyone creating content knows, the industry is in the midst of boundary-defying, shifting production and post developments that demand collaboration and the latest information. The Post Production Master Class is a unique presentation of expert learning, attendee interaction and knowledge sharing, not a presentation format of simple skill transference. It will unfold in New York on September 22nd and 23rd, 2011 and in Los Angeles on November 4th & 5th, 2011.
The course was developed in collaboration with American Cinema Editors, The Hollywood Post Alliance, and Avid. As in the inaugural sessions in Los Angeles, the New York Post Production Master Class will gather the thought leaders and companies who are forging the way, encourage powerful dialogue and enable participants to get industry defining information; RAW, 3D, onset color, DI, and more. Past presenters at the Post Production Master Class included Iron Man editor Dan Lebenthal, ACE, Steve Rasch, ACE (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Bryan Carroll (Producer), Cory McCrum (Revelations Entertainment), Joshua Pines, (Technicolor), Richard Kroon (Technicolor), Tom Vice (FotoKem NEXTLab), Alex Shapiro (Active Storage), Devin Sterling (Co3), John Darro (FotoKem), Marci Jastrow (LaserPacific), David Townsend (Post Production Producer), Dave Stump, ASC, Steve Cohen, ACE (Editor's Guild and Author), and 3D expert Jeff Olm and more.
