<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We are pleased to announce a special 35th Edition of the ongoing
technical symposium, The Reel Thing, to take place in Los Angeles over
the course of three days, August 20 - 22, 2015, including an opening
night reception and screening on August 20. The event will take place at
the Linwood Dunn Theater in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences' Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, 1313 Vine St., in
Hollywood.<br>
<br>
As with all editions of The Reel Thing, we focus on the wide range of
critical issues facing archivists, technicians, asset managers and
curators of image and sound in the current media/digital landscape.
Problems and solutions involving digital creation workflows
(2K/4K/6K/8K), data storage access and recovery, image scanning and
recording, image resolution metrics, traditional video and audio
preservation and restoration issues are topics of interest. Of
particular interest are the preservation and archiving issues
surrounding Digital Intermediate and Digital Production workflows for
motion pictures and television/streaming. If you have been working in
these or related areas of interest, we invite you to propose a
presentation summarizing the technical, theoretical and practical facets
of your work.<br>
<br>
Presentations consist of a brief analytic explanation of the project,
digital/film/video/audio examples, and a question and answer period. We
ask that presenters focus on the nature of the work and its context,
including the rationale for selection of methods and tools (hardware and
software, photochemical / photomechanical and digital / analog), and to
provide substantial detail concerning these aspects of the work. We
request A/B comparisons of the "before" and "after" states of the
project in order to have a meaningful discussion and evaluation of the
results. We're interested in facts and opinions concerning the present
and future prospects of the techniques, processes and equipment that are
in use today, or the near future.<br>
<br>
Our objective is to expose our audience to the current thinking and most
advanced practical examples of progress in the field of preservation,
restoration and media conservation, and to create a common ground for
discussion and evaluation of methodologies so that informed decisions
can be made about when and how to deploy both traditional and emerging
technologies.<br>
