New York-based filmmaker, designer and author Hillman Curtis, music video director Chris Milk and video and feature film director Mark Romanek have been added to the line-up for PAUSE: Ideas in Motion, a new two-day event for the broadcast and film industry, which takes place November 10 – 11, 2008 at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Centre in NYC.
The three award-winning directors join previously announced presenters BTRY, Brand New School, BUCK, Digital Kitchen, GMunk, Hush, Joseph Kosinski, MK12 and UFO. Mark Romanek and Curtis Milk (Kanyne West, U2, Green Day, Modest Mouse) bookend the event with end-of-day sessions on Day 1 and Day 2 respectively. Romanek will host an “in conversation” presentation that touches on his career as a music video and feature film director (“One Hour Photo” staring Robin Williams). Hillman Curtis will also take a personal approach to his presentation by talking about the creative processes he’s developed while making short films. Each day of the event opens with a one-hour tech and tool presentation by Autodesk.
PAUSE is open to anyone who works with 3D and motion graphics technologies — whether 3D Max, After Effects, Combustion, Maya, Motion, or a combination of these and other bold new toolsets. All PAUSE NYC attendees will be entered to win a prize pack, which includes a copy of Avid Media Composer software valued at $2,500.00.
