We've completed a stereographic short to be premiered at this years SMPTE conference. This was made possible with the expertise of Stereographer Leonard Coster and DOP Tom Gleeson. Bernie was at the helm, and he was nice enough to let Olly help out. Joe Morris jumped in the deep end and did an edit using realtime stereo display tech. The 3D rigs built by Speedwedge are the cutting edge of camera mount and control systems, the camera/post production technology is new from this years NAB. This combination is a technological first not only to Australia but the world. It's the start of a new era for 3D in ease of acquisition and delivery.

We've seen 3D used as a novelty, now that the technology has matured it's time to see it in sophisticated applications. Like the change from silent film to talkies, or black & white to colour, what was first dismissed as a novelty will become a key tool in a filmmakers arsenal. The first film to demonstrate this and use 3D as an emotional device will be a cinematic milestone. But the evolution is not limited to the big screen, live music and sport broadcasts in 3D will bring fans another step closer to the event while never moving from their living rooms. Film and television will be changed forever.

We've just finished a promo DVD for the launch of Southtrade's Green Fariy, Djabel, and Koruna Czech Absinth varieties. Here's a tongue-and-cheek clip revealing this mysterious drinks origin. This 'Directors Cut' is a little more risqué than the final version. Enjoy!

While Bernie jetted to LA and Vegas to talk shop, Oliver had the chance to shoot Fashion Week for our friends at Saint Augustine Academy. Look out for the video when they update their site with their new range.

We'd like to congratulate Bernie, XYZ and the whole team that worked on Sound Relief. It's great that so many people came together for a worthy cause. Here's a clip of Coldplay from their broadcast.

Bernie Zelvis shows some highlights from last year's the New Orleans Tales of the Cocktail Competition. Thanks to Michael from Ubertools for setting it up and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the tunes. Look out for our friend Manuel Terron at Tales of the Cocktail 09
