There is no denying that in that past the business of making motion pictures was exclusively for the rich and famous. However, major advancements in the field of technology have resulted in the affordability of recording equipment. This development has led to a massive boost in the number of movies coming out of Africa. Nowadays any ‘Simba, Jamal and Hakeem’ can now grab a camcorder and shoot a film of some sort.
Because of this directly proportional relationship between media technological advancements and the number of films produced I have come to appreciate important trends in media technology. MEDIATECH AFRICA, the continent ‘s largest advanced media technology trade exhibition, is a perfect stop to see all the latest film recording gadgets and trends in film production. Following the success of the previous years, the biennial trade exhibition, will again showcase cutting edge technologies and services from industry leaders in:
• Broadcast, Film, Production & Post Production
• Pro AV, Sound, Lighting, Staging and Rigging
• AV & Broadcast System Integration
• Animation, New Media, Mobile & On-line
• Satellite and Signal
• Musical Instruments & DJ Equipment
• Computer Music and Production Tools
Filmmakers in the continent should diarise July 20, 2011 because the Screen Africa Technology and Production will taking place at this year’s Mediatech Africa trade exhibition. Among the topics that will be discussed is ‘3D PRODUCTION FLOW’.
This is a practical workshop which demonstrates to delegates what it takes to shoot 3D in the field. The workshop will bring delegates up to speed on the latest 3D techniques and the possible future of 3D. The critical variables and pitfalls of shooting 3D will be discussed. The workshop is pitched at an introductory level.
