Televisual Factual 2011 Seminars
root6 sponsored and recorded the free production seminars presented as part of Televisual's Factual Festival, held at BAFTA.
"Affordable Cinematic Production & Content Distribution"
Designed for those already working in a professional environment - including broadcast, corporate, education and pop promo producers, directors and production managers - this seminar will help you get to grips with the cameras, media and workflow that, combined, enable you to stand out from the crowd. In addition, this seminar looks at final delivery from sharing your media to distribution to a range of platforms including online, mobile devices and broadcast.
All of the presentations are delivered by senior production executives and leading technical experts:
Mark Bos (Talkback Thames), John "Chopper" Harris (root6), Thom Berryman (Pinewood Post), Emma Riley (Sunset+Vine / mentorn media) and Richard Mills (Onsight)
"Long-form Broadcast Production Best Practices"
This seminar is both for those already working in long-form production (typically producers, directors and production managers) - delivering content in this way and for those who are migrating from tape-based production. Any producer who has worked “tapeless” knows that along with the pronounced upside are a whole raft of new challenges from logging and metadata naming conventions to ingest and archiving. The experts in this seminar talk through their real production workflows and provide plenty of tips and advice.
Featuring presentations from:
Emma Riley (Sunset+Vine / mentorn media), Donna Mulvey-Jones (Maverick Television), John "Chopper" Harris (root6), Mark Bos (Talkback Thames) and Jess Nottage (Clear Cut Pictures)
