SAG Pow-wow last night — what strategy in a "non-strike" atmosphere?

-

So word has to come to BTL of a big SAG Pow-wow last night, at a proverbial undisclosed location: Board members, A-listers, etc. Some of whom signed a recent “start the talks now!” ad that’s been making the rounds.

And while there’s a certain mum-ness about the details, suffice it to say there was spirited talk about how to proceed and what to ask for, specifically, in this post-WGA no-collective-stomach-left for a strike atmosphere right now. And what do we do about AFTRA?, etc.

Once SAG and the WGA decided not to have a joint strike — the writers couldn’t wait that long, due to the stockpiling of scripts that would’ve occurred — the “thesp” position became much trickier, especially now that their erstwhile allies have settled.

More as it happens.

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.
