Citizen Journalist: the Camera Phone
Revolution
Chris Hoar, Bob Goldstein, Evan Nisselson
The advent of embedded cameras in cell phones is creating a
worldwide explosion of more people taking more photos. We
expect that by 2006 there will be 60 million cameraphones
deployed! 1 and 2 megapixel cameraphones are just around
the corner, and TCP/IP transmission are proving that citizens
armed with cameraphones can instantly become reporters
and/or publishers.
Many believe these new mobile publishing tools will
eventually bring big changes to journalism and other
industries, and this session will show what’s happening now,
while extrapolating into what’s anticipated in the very near
future.
10:30-11:30 am
HDR Capture Processing and Display
Greg Ward
High Dynamic Range digital imaging technology is on the
horizon, and when full support arrives, it will change how we
capture, edit, store, and display images forever.
Greg Ward is a leader in the HDR space, and most recently,
he has been involved with High Dynamic Range Display
technology, which uses new display techniques to show colors
30 times as bright and ten times as dark as current displays.
Greg will discuss HDR issues, technology,and directions with
a focus on what tools and standards are emerging for HDR to
become a workflow reality.
11:45-12:45 pm
Innovations in Display Technology
Karl Lang, Will Hollingworth, Greg Ward
New developments in LCD and other display technologies
including HDR, wider color gamut, cinema projectors and
unique display architectures like flexible screens and retinal
projectors could revolutionize the way we work, play, and
watch movies. Some experts have claimed the enhancements
could be even more important than the conversion from B/W
to color that took the computer industry by storm in the late
’80s. What’s coming, what does it mean, and how long do we
have to wait? Our panel will touch on High Gamut LCD, DLP
(DMD), GLV, High Gamut CRT and OLED and calibrated
color technologies.

Young Guns:Visual Effects for Film and
Television

Creating visual effects is a team effort between programmers,
animators, artists and compositors. The difference between
production requirements and deadlines for visual effects for
broadcast and feature films is dramatic.

of Adobe AfterEffects into a pipeline dominated by discreet
Infernos and Flame workstations.
We will have a behind the scenes look at the effects created
for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King which
dominated the Academy Awards by weaving a fantastic tale
with stunning visual effects. J. Bills will discuss the pivotal
role of compositors in merging, masking and computer
graphic elements, animations with live action footage.
