Dear Industry Colleague: The North American Branch of “The Moving Image Society - BKSTS” held an exciting event on December 1, 2008. But first if you’re not familiar with The Moving Image Society, here’s a little background. We’re actually quite unique as an organization, we see our role as a melting pot for all that are involved in the “Moving Image Industry”, if it’s a moving Image, it’s us, from Cinema, Television, The Internet to Video Games. Our members are diverse, Directors, Editors, Cinematographers, Sound Designers, Producers, Studio Management, Engineers, Game Developers, and the list goes on. While we understand that there are many organizations that cater for vertical industry groups we think it important there to be a place where people having skills in different disciplines can meet and exchange ideas and develop new techniques. The lines are merging every day between different departments and our members in these budget conscious times often find they are wearing different hats on the same project. We were formed in England in 1931 and now have members and branches around the world. Part of our Mission Statement affirms “The Society exists to encourage, sustain, educate, train and represent all who are involved – creatively or technologically – in the business of providing moving images and their associated crafts and sciences, in any form and through any media”. The Moving Image Society has a graded Membership scheme, which enables entry at any level of your profession. As well as Full Membership for craft or technologically working professionals, we have an Associate Membership open to those with an interest in the industry and Student Membership for anyone who is engaged in full-time study with intent to progress to a career in the Moving Image Industry. Our International Membership is continually growing and we have more US members joining by the day. We now have two members here in the States who are on the governing council based at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom. So back to the event, we carried live in HD 5.1 Surround Sound as a Digital Cinema Presentation the “Bernard Happé Lecture” from London (see more information on the event below).
Apart from the event being an extremely interesting topic covering the integration of Cinema, Television and Sound we achieved something technologically challenging. We carried the event live using SohoNet which is the first and largest High Bandwidth Connector for the Global Media and Entertainment Industries. This may have been the first live Digital Cinema Presentation from Europe to United States.
The event was covered as a Live Event from The British Film Institute (BFI) on the South Bank In London and sent to us via SohoNet to a Viewing Theater at FotoKem in Burbank, California. Participants in Burbank had the opportunity to ask questions by return Audio to London. We can be reached at TheMovingImageSociety@VideoEditSystems.com
