A Half-Decade In And
We’re Just Gearing Up

Five years maynot seem like a long time in the entertainment industry (and, in truth,it’s not!) but it does mark a significant milestone for Below the Line.

In our debut issue, we published a mission statement: Below the Linestrives to be the editorial voice of the crew. A newspaper that mirrorsthe attitude of the below-the-line crew community – providing aninsider’s reverence for the craft of filmmaking with all the humor andintelligence of the craftspeople it celebrates.

We hope youfeel we’ve in some way succeeded in achieving that mission. Based onthe reaction of the crewmembers who read the paper, attend ourscreenings and events, and the advertisers reaching out to ouraudience, we think we’re off to a great start.

What follows is a brief look back at the brief history of Below the Line.We look forward continuing to serve the needs of our readers,advertisers and the entertainment industry as we move into our secondfive years – and beyond.

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.
