    LOS ANGELES --

    Two experts from the International Cinematographers Guild (ICG, IATSE Local 600) will be on hand at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences NAB Show booth (C9132) on Tuesday morning, April 14, at 9:30 a.m., as education partners with the Academy’s ACES program (the Academy Color Encoding System). DP Theo Van de Sande, ASC, and digital imaging technician and DI colorist Bobby Maruvada will be explaining how the system works.

    Van de Sande was recently nominated for a ASC Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for John Amiel’s Deliverance Creek, which was produced entirely with an ACES workflow. After working on more than 25 features in his native Holland, he moved to Los Angeles and has worked on more than 30 features since then.

    Maruvada has spent the last three decades bridging the worlds of production and post-production. After many years as an underwater photographer, he began work as a telecine colorist on feature films and soon expanded his palette to include DI work. He has worked with DPs Peter Schusitsky, Seamus McGarvey and Vilmos Zsigmond.

    The ICG will also be conducting a tour of selected NAB Show booths on Monday, April 13 at 2:45 p.m., under the guidance of camera technologist Andy Romanoff in concert with Stephen Lighthill, ASC. The theme of the tour is “Innovations in Acquisition.”

    As part of NAB Show’s Keynote Creative Master Series, Tom Stern, ASC, AFC, the cinematographer of Oscar®-winning film American Sniper, will discuss “Heroes, Legends and American Sniper” with moderator David Geffner, Executive Editor of ICG Magazine in South Hall, Room 220 on April 14 from 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.

    ICG’s cocktail reception, co-hosted by Band Pro, will be held between their adjacent booths (C10306 and C10408) on April 13, starting at 5 p.m.

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
