NEXT MEETING - 5/26/18

Professional league video gaming modeled itself after real-world sports. With league structure, match commentary, player profiles and sponsored merch, eSports resembles the traditional broadcast sports model - with a few twists.

Join us for a look at the anatomy of eSports - the technology that drives it, how it differs from traditional sports broadcasts, where tech is headed, and where the jobs are. Presenters include crew from Blizzard’s Overwatch and H1PL. Not a gamer? See H1PL here: https://www.h1pl.com/

H1PL live director and featured speaker Cameron Reed began directing live, multicamera shoots in 2014. His work has aired on ESPN2, The NFL Network, DisneyXD and on the leading digital platforms including Twitch, Youtube, and Hulu. Reed holds a Bachelor of the Arts in Broadcast Journalism from California State University, Fullerton. Hobbies include fishing, camping and "driving roads I've never been down just to see where they go."

Joining Cameron are Michael Little, President of Artistic Resources Corp, SMPTE member and system architect for H1PL’s 84 camera fly pack and Jose Soriano, veteran technical director for Blizzard Studio’s Overwatch, League of Legends and H1Z1 at Twitchcon 2017.
