Hollywood SMPTE invites you to this exciting session at Sony Pictures Entertainment in Culver City on Monday, January 27th:

We’ll dive into both the technical underpinnings of Sony 360 VME, (Virtual Mixing Environment) and discuss the practical aspects of using the technology for virtualizing the experience of mixing a show at any given studio.

The meeting will be held in Sony’s historic Scenic Arts building.

Before the 7:30PM event, there will be individual personal demonstrations of how it works and sounds to the first 48 attendees who want to participate.

Special Demo Before 7:30PM Main Event:

This will entail individually measuring and analyzing the sound received in each ear canal of each person. When each respective set of measurements is complete, an individual profile will be created for each listener. That profile will then be used by the Sony 360 VME renderer to create fully immersive sound in headphones that precisely matches the immersive sound in the room of choice. Sounds will be perceived as being out in front of the listener, from behind the listener, above the listener, and all around the listener—exactly as it occurs in the room, except that it’s coming from a pair of headphones.

Scheduling for individual measurements and personalization will be managed in advance by Sony. It will occur earlier on the 27th at Sony from 2:30PM – 6:30PM.

SMPTE Hollywood's LAST Meeting:

BEHIND THE SCENES OF HOUSE OF THE DRAGON POST-PRODUCTION AND COLOR

On November 20th, Warner Bros. Studios and SMPTE hosted a panel discussion that will dive into the show’s post-production process, focusing on color and post workflow. It was a chance to hear directly from Asa Shoul, Pam Fitzgerald, and Dauri Chase, with Warner Bros. SVP of Global Post-Production Services Daphne Dentz leading the conversation.

Asa Shoul, the show’s colorist, demonstrated how he brought the series’ dark and dramatic world to life through careful color grading. Pam Fitzgerald, credits include shows like HBO’s Watchmen. Pam shared her perspective on keeping the production on point and post running smoothly. And Dauri Chase, post-production executive in charge of the show and a producer with a background in hit series like The Newsroom and Big Love, brought her experience in shaping high-quality, story-driven TV to the conversation.

Asa demo'd his color work, and we. got an exclusive look at clips from House of the Dragon in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It was a rare peek at how the team brings Westeros to life with cutting-edge post-production tech and some of the world’s most talented people.
