Did anyone go to this annual show this year? I went and left very early. The usual interesting manufacturers (cameras, in particular) absent, along with associated production products, and the seminars so dull and uninteresting.
Today they sent an excited link to their site where you can watch the seminars, and read mostly understandable transcripts of what was said. I get left with the idea the video production is now the province of marketing speak MBA holding dullards. They talk with buzzwords and often used meaningless phrases. The only emerging feature seems to be IT and IP. For me, with a pocketful of cash to buy some new products to make videos, it was deeply disappointing. Only JVC had cameras on display - Sony, Panasonic, Blackmagic and Canon missing. Camera supports - another thing for me nowhere to be seen.
even worse were the display stages where we watched video of dancers with so much distribution latency that made you feel nauseous seeing real limbs move and then all the monitors move half a second later. Embarrassing. A lighting discussion of how to do it (verbal, not practical) conducted in a murky half light.
God it was boring. My last. Have a look at their videos and see if any of these talks would have interested you? Some have enough in the first few lines of transcript to make even pressing play pointless.
