Former ARRI workflow specialist will spearhead Cortex development.
MTI Film, a leading developer of software applications for dailies processing, media transcoding and film restoration, has appointed Jean-Dominique “J.D.” Vandenberghe as Product Manager. Formerly Workflow Project Manager at ARRI, Vandenberghe brings a strong background in engineering and mathematics, and broad experience with digital cinema camera systems and workflow technologies.
Vandenberghe will be representing MTI Film at IBC 2013, September 13-17 in Amsterdam.
At MTI Film, Vandenberghe will be responsible for the continued development of the company’s Cortex line of dailies processing and transcoding solutions, as well as other current and future products. He will oversee the development and launch of new product features, and work directly with third-party vendors, resellers and end-users on development-related issues.
“We are delighted to welcome J.D. to the MTI Film team,” says David McClure, Vice President for Product Development. “He brings tremendous value to the table in terms of his knowledge and passion. His experience with camera systems makes him an especially valuable asset to our customers in understanding their needs and translating them into new product features.”
Vandenberghe joined ARRI in 2010 as a digital service engineer and as such he helped introduce the ARRI ALEXA camera to North America. He later served in a variety of workflow-related roles and ultimately as Workflow Project Manager, overseeing the development of applications for integrating ARRI products into production and post-production workflows. Previously, he was co-founder and CEO of Escape Lab, a Brussels, Belgium post production and DVD Authoring facility.
Commenting on his new role, Vandenberghe says that he sees MTI Film‘s Cortex as a cornerstone for current and future production workflows. “Cortex offers solutions to many of the questions that have arisen since the production moved away from film,” he observes. “In a production environment that includes a multitude of cameras, camera formats and delivery formats, Cortex serves as a hub for all those inputs and outputs, and it does so with maximum efficiency and quality.”

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
