INSIGHT OUT • Last Update 6/7/05
Participants learned from award-winning film and television experts from all over the world in a six all-day intensive course. All aspects of production were covered – scripting, pre-production, shooting and post-production. Also a wide range of formats was used to illustrate the presentations, including: 35mm film, HD video, HDTV digital projection, DVD, PAL video and mobile movie.

»Thank you for a very pleasant and interesting workshop! As I am producing a ‘mini’-series of 6 hours TV-Drama this year, shot in the HD-cam format, it was of great interest to learn so much about different people’s experience with HD-production and HD-postproduction. I would very much like to come back another year if my work schedule permits it.«
