Fight your way through the third dimension with TransISTor 2012!

Three summer workshops in stereoscopic 3D movie making are taking place in Prague. First one is focused on S3D documentary filming (2.-5. July), the second on fiction (9.-12. July), the third on postproduction of S3D material. However, the common theme of all parts is Boxing and the participants will be allowed to shoot within the box training center.

Among the lecturers and tutors are such masters as Yves Pupulin (Binocle 3D), Bernard Mendiburu (AAsterion Production) or Tomáš Petráň (FAMU Prague). The call for participants was just opened so do not miss the chance to get the reduced price and check also the scholarship possibilities.

Transistor is a multidisciplinary training initiative offering European film makers in the audiovisual sector intensive workshops focused on new technologies in the preservation techniques and methodologies for digital audiovisual works.
