5 Must Have AV Technologies for Film Festivals
By: SmartSource | Cynthia Corona | January 11, 2019
Film festivals big and small have proven to be an economic boon for the localities that host them. Take for example the Sundance Film Festival, which over an 11-day period in 2017 generated $151.5 million for the Utah economy. Even lesser known festivals can draw tens of thousands of attendees, like the International Palm Springs Film Festival, which attracts over 160,000 attendees to the small city of Palm Springs, whose resident population is less than 50,000.
While few festivals have the cache of Sundance, sponsorship opportunities for regional or genre-specific film festivals can be just as attractive to corporations and local businesses if they are built to be engaging - functional, modern and interactive. For that, event technology is the only solution.

Hollywood, CA - On November 26, 2018, the world said goodbye to the gifted Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of the globally beloved "SpongeBob SquarePants," an animated cartoon character who lives in "a pineapple under the sea," and has been entertaining the world consistently since making his first appearance on the Nickelodeon cable TV network on May 1, 1995. The cause of Hillenburg's death was ALS.
As a tribute to Hillenburg's legacy, and his contributions to a generation of children, a petition has been launched at Change.org calling for APM Music's iconic production music track "Sweet Victory," featured within the "Band Geeks" episode of "SpongeBob Square Pants," to be performed during the Halftime Show at SuperBowl LIII, in Atlanta, airing on CBS, February 3, 2019.

CBS Picks 18 Advocacy Groups to Get $20M As Part of Moonves Exit
By: Women in Film | Georg Szalai | Paul Bond | December 27, 2018
The company had said it would support multiple organizations as part of its separation agreement with its former CEO, who had been accused of sexual misconduct.
CBS Corp. on Friday detailed which women's advocacy groups would get portions of the $20 million that it had previously said it would be donating as part of its separation agreement with former CEO Leslie Moonves. Those groups include the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, RAINN, the National Women's Law Center and others.
Joe Ianniello has been running CBS as interim CEO. When the company unveiled in early September that Moonves was exiting amid allegations of sexual misconduct, it also said it had hired advisory firm RALLY, described as an "issue-driven communications firm that takes sticky political issues and moves them forward," to help it figure out which non-profit advocacy groups should get money.

Exclusive Sedan Provides Top Service While Keeping a Close Eye on Safety
By: Exclusive Sedan | December 14, 2018
When Ron and Jackie Stein started Exclusive Limousine Service in 1980 they began providing top-level luxury transportation services in the greater Los Angeles area. The service was a success, and after rapid expansion they changed the name of the company to Exclusive Sedan Service in 1983. The new name better reflects the broader range of vehicles and transportation options that the company continues to offer. In addition to its Los Angeles hub, the firm now handles the transportation needs of clients in more than 750 cities worldwide.
Ron and Jackie's son, Brandan, joined the firm in 1998, was promoted to vice president of operations in 2005, and is now CEO and president of Exclusive Sedan Service.
The company continues to grow, and that's likely due to the personalized service Exclusive Sedan provides to its clients. It's one factor that sets the company apart from the competition.

By: SmartSource | December 5, 2018
With the holidays right around the corner, party, gala, and special event planning is in full effect. From the food to the music to the entertainment and ambiance, you'll want to set the stage for a fun and sophisticated event - without going over budget. A key component in taking your party from drab to fab is the use of audio visual technology such as lighting, LED video walls and displays, and a top-notch sound system.

The right vendor can provide you with low heat, energy-efficient LED lighting, programmable dimming capabilities, motion, pattern, and color effects, and even custom gobo projection for branding or holiday-themed messaging.

Why Should I Hire The Human Jib?
By: The Human Jib | December 4, 2018
Creativity, experience, and service. All 3 are important, and all 3 must exist together for a jib operator to safely get the right shot, from the right position, the first time. As a result, you save time, money, and stress while maximizing your production value.
We've had many clients tell us that they were never satisfied with jib operators in the past, either because of arrogance, or a stale operating technique, or just plain indifference toward the production. The story seems to be the same everywhere we go... until they work with us, and they see that our experience, along with creativity and great service, makes all the difference!
Our crews show up on time with the right attitudes, and we work hard for every shot all the way to the end. Even then, our work isn't finished just because we're done striking our gear. We believe teamwork ...READ MORE>>

UNDERSTANDING GLASS STRENGTHENING HEAT TREATED FOR EXTRA STRENGTH
Heat strengthening of glass is achieved by increasing the temperature of the glass to a point slightly below the softening point of the material and then immediately and quickly quenching the glass - generally by blowing volumes of cooler air on the surfaces to cool suddenly while the interior of the glass is still hot and expanded. The surfaces become compressed and the interior of the glass is still hot and expanded. The surfaces are in compression and interior mass is in tension. The glass will release the tension when the surface compression layer is penetrated.Horizontal glass strengthening is accomplished by placing the glass parts on ceramic rollers in a furnace that heats both surfaces of the parts with the quenching occurring sequentially on polymer ringed wrapped rollers in the ...READ MORE>>

By: Allied Studios | Mike Harris | VC Star | November 29, 2018
Allied Studios in Simi Valley has entered an agreement to use about 1,000 acres of Waste Management's scenic open space just outside the city as a movie ranch.
Both Allied and the city say the new filming site on unincorporated Ventura County land will create jobs and bring other economic benefits to the area.
Temporary filming at the site would simply require a routine permit from the county and could begin as soon as a production company's project is green-lighted, Allied officials say.
If permanent structures are ever planned for the site, Allied would need more involved permitting. But Allied officials say no such structures are envisioned at this time.
"Right now, it's just an open back lot," said Brian Gordon, Allied's managing director. "That's all we really have in the works now, a movie ranch. Who knows what the future holds."

Compare WebCasting Live Stream vs Wirecast with Bill Milling

Over the past ten years the American Movie Company has provided our clients with WebCasting services using every professional streaming platform. There are advantages to all of them. We chose LiveStream in our custom Flypacks built by our strategic partner, Saturn Encoders.
I'm Bill Milling, owner here at AMC. The collective experience of our WebCasting operators and senior technicians is that ,while they see a lot to like in both, they collectively prefer LiveStream over Wirecast. When we first began streaming over ten years ago from our green screen stages in NYC, we began with a series of TriCasters and were very happy with that technology. The company put out a solid product, which, at the time was pretty much the industry standard.

Vista Studios brings cutting edge technology to an industry in flux
In a city littered with production studios, the Vista Studios is an odd bird. One of only a handful of independents with their production capability and size -and west of the 405 to boot - the Playa Vista-based company occupies a warehouse that last saw work under French automaker Citroën in 1969.
In true L.A. fashion, the parcel was still zoned for filming.
After a yearlong construction and reclamation process, Vista Studios soft-opened in May of this year; a client moved in before the city fully accommodated their new electrical setup, so an open house for their tech-savvy neighbors near Runway at Playa Vista included generators buzzing with the hors d'oeuvres.

Celebrating 50 years: A half century of rating films and informing parents
By: MPAA | November 9, 2018
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) today released a report to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its film rating system. The report, "G" is for Golden: The MPAA Film Ratings at 50, includes the results of a new survey of American parents, never-before-released, comprehensive data on the nearly 30,000 films rated since 1968, and a detailed look at the history, evolution, and process behind the ratings.
The MPAA's Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) was created by former MPAA President and CEO Jack Valenti and first announced on November 1, 1968.

Film Scouting With Alison Naifeh: Finding the perfect cinematic spot
By: LANCE MCDANIEL | November 6, 2018
When a new movie or major commercial comes to town, the first person they meet with is a location scout. Sometimes they call the Oklahoma Film + Music Office to line it up; sometimes they talk to a friend in New York or Los Angeles who recently has filmed here. But the first question they always ask is, "Who is the best location scout?" Luckily for Oklahoma, the answer is Alison Naifeh.
Dillinger was the 1973 gangster movie starring Oklahoma's Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman, who both had won Oscars for The Last Picture Show the year before. Seeing those two actors up close would've made any child want to dive into acting. But the film world had other plans for Naifeh.

ABOUT ALLIANCE GRIP TRUCK RENTALS
By: Alliance Grip | September 18, 2018
Alliance Grip has taken an all-new approach to how grip trucks are built. Targeting the commercial market, we were able to build trucks that are quick and efficient to work from.
