CHANGING THE PICTURE is now "MediaTech Hub" II

VON Dr. Wolf SiegertZUM Mittwoch Letzte Bearbeitung: 26. November 2019 um 00 Uhr 41 Minuten

 

Am Mittwoch endete die MediaTech Hub Conference, Deutschlands größte Konferenz für digitale Medientechnologien in Entertainment und Industrie. Technologiebegeisterte, Kreative und Strategen trafen sich an zwei Tagen, um zu diskutieren, sich auszutauschen und inspirieren zu lassen.

So das Abschlusskommunikee des Veranstalters, der darüber hinaus auf der Seite der IMPRESSIONEN eine Reihe von Fotos zur Verfügung gestellt hat, von denen hier an dieser Stelle zwei übernommen werden [1] [2].

Wir lassen das jetzt mal so stehen, da die eigene Teilnahme sich im wesentlichen auf diese beiden Veranstaltungen konzentriert hatte - inklusive eines jeweiligen längerern Interviews, für das erst wiederum Zeit gesucht und gefunden werden musste und dem jeweils ein einführendes Gespräch vorgeschaltet war.

12:00pm - 12:45pm
Moving within Movies - About the remarkable progress in volumetric film making

Volumetric VideoCapture is continuing its rise of success, making production of „Digital Humans“ so much easier with high end quality. Still, only a few studios worldwide are able to capture volumetric video. With Volucap (Babelsberg/Germany) and Intel Studios (Los Angeles/USA) we have two of the very best on stage, discussing use cases for industry applications and entertainment and sharing their practical experiences and business opportunities with us.

 Sarah Vick [3]
Intel Studios, Head of Business. Los Angeles

Für das mit und bei ihr angesagte Interview gab es keine Freigabe seitens des headquarters, so dass an dieser Stelle auch nicht weiter über die gemeinsame Begegnung informiert werden wird.

 Sven Bliedung [4]
Volucap, CEO, Potsdam

Mit Sven wurde bereits vor gut einem Jahr aus Anlass der Eröffnung des Studios ein erstes Gespräch geführt [5], an das wir jetzt beide gut anknüpfen konnten:

2:00pm - 2:45pm
Experiencing the Digital Human

Digital Humans are on the rise, populating films, games, VR experiences or commercials, even amassing followers as virtual celebrities. As graphics technology, storytelling, and social media converge to bring these new beings to life, it is worth reflecting on core questions—what are digital humans really, how do they come into the world, who makes them, how, and why? Will the existence of personal avatars become a commonplace reality? Hermione Mitford will shed light on these questions by sharing how the 3D animation and motion capture studio, Mimic Productions, is pioneering the digital human, presenting a close-up look at the secret life of Hermione’s life-like human avatar, EM.

Hermione Flynn [6]
Mimic Productions, CEO, Berlin
