Three pioneers in NASA
imaging technology development, HD digital film production, and
Polynesian voyaging will be conducting this unique workshop designed
for independent video, film and webcasting producers, students
& entrepreneurs. Learn about how new types of digital image processing
and film shooting techniques can promote cultural awareness and
while also providing new business opportunities.
The main body of the
workshop will provide a broad exploration of how digital technologies
allow filmmakers to capture and manipulate images during production
and post-production processes. Topics will include: how the digital
video processing software tools work, types of pitfalls typically
encountered, and levels of training required for advanced digital
filmmaking. Participants will learn how the speaker uses ordinary
low cost PC tools (such as Photoshop, Premier, After Effects,
Film FX, Twixtor & Retimer) to image process standard definition
video and produce high definition material for theatrical presentation.
Parts of the raw footage
from the Polynesian voyages will be used to illustrate techniques
for shooting footage with inexpensive DV cameras through the process.
After the technical portion of the workshop, the full 35mm version
of the documentary "Hokule,a: A Guiding Light will be screened
for the first time in Hawaii, with an introduction by Elisa Yadao,
Executive Director of the Polynesian Voyaging Society.
