Cinematographer Robert Yeoman, ASC will headline the annual Kodak Focus program at this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival. The intimate conversation will spotlight Yeoman’s artistic and technical accomplishments by screening scenes from 35mm prints of Moonrise Kingdom, Drugstore Cowboy and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Yeoman has photographed all of Anderson’s live-action features, including Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom. Yeoman also photographed Wes Craven’s Red Eye, Roman Coppola’s CQ, Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale, Drew Barrymore’s Whip It, Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids, and the soon-to-be released The Heat.

Vicon Introduces Mobile Mocap at SIGGRAPH

1
Motion capture systems developer Vicon is previewing a futuristic new “Mobile Mocap” technology at SIGGRAPH 2011 in Vancouver. Moving mocap out of the lab and into the field, Vicon's Mobile Mocap system taps several new technologies, many years in the making. At the heart of Mobile Mocap is a very small lipstick-sized camera that enables less obtrusive, more accurate facial animation data. The new cameras capture 720p (1280X720) footage at 60 frames per second. In addition, a powerful processing unit synchronizes, stores, and wirelessly transmits the data, all in a tiny wearable design.
