BBC Creative Archive: Fuel For A Creative Nation

18:45 for a 19:00 start

Since Greg Dyke first announced the BBC’s intention, in 2001, to give access to some of the BBC’s huge archive there has been fevered speculation about the implementation and boundaries of this exciting, world-leading idea.

Using a computer, the British public will be able to download programming and programming excerpts at no cost. The hope is that this material will then be used to fuel their own creative endeavours, which will in turn be shared – creating new content from old. It is a bold project, with many obstacles to conquer.

Cut through the hype – come and hear the facts from Paula LeDieu, joint director of the BBC Creative Archive project. Paula’s presentation will be followed by Q&A.

Speaker: Paula LeDieu, joint-director, BBC Creative Archive

Colour Technology For Digital Cinema

Digital technology has recently become an alternative to film for the origination of motion pictures, for colour grading (in the form of the digital intermediate) and for display in exhibition. Each of these developments is advancing independent of the others, leading to hybrid film-digital workflows. However, film and electronic media capture and reproduce images in fundamentally different ways. Film uses subtractive colorants (CMY),but digital cinema uses additive primaries (RGB). Film is characterised using logarithms, but digital video and computer graphics is characterised using power functions. Film and digital cinema have different colour gamuts and are optimized for different contrast ratios. Digital Cinema Testbed at
