Panel Video: Tech @ The Movies
Massachusetts companies have played a pivotal role in the evolution of Hollywood. Movies might still be in black-and-white -- and we might never have had "The Wizard of Oz" -- if not for Technicolor, founded by Massachusetts entrepreneurs. And Avid Technology won an Oscar in the 1990s for introducing computers to the movie editing process. You'll hear from a panel of technology innovators who're changing the way movies get made in the 21st century -- helping directors create special effects or helping movie fans buy their favorite pics in digital form. Journalist Scott Kirsner will introduce the panel with a short, illustrated overview of his new book Inventing the Movies, which tells the heretofore untold technological history of Hollywood -- including the stories of Avid and Technicolor.
Panelists:
- Jim Flynn, Founder & CEO, EZTakes and iArthouse
- Jeff Kleiser, CEO, Synthespian Studios; Visual Effects Artist on "Fantastic Four," "X-Men: The Last Stand," and "Tron"
- Patrick McLean, Senior Product Manager, Avid Technology
- Katherine Hays, CEO, GenArts
- Dave Waller, Founder, Brickyard VFX
Labels: Avid, Brickyard VFX, Dave Waller, EZTakes, GenArts, Inventing the Movies, Jeff Kleiser, Jim Flynn, Katherine Hays, MassTLC, Patrick McLean, Synthespian Studios, Technicolor
