FACULTY OF CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AND BUSINESS 2. CURRENT RESEARCH ACTIVITY

My current research activity is focused on integrating newer technologies with more traditional modalities of cinematic storytelling and promotion. I am also looking into the effects of new and emerging technologies on a culture and on the individual in terms of programme delivery and consumption. I have been Director of Photography on 3 projects which utilise a ground-breaking delivery vehicle (faux holographic projection of life-sized human images into storefronts to create the impression that the person is actually inside), and also on a short film shot with the RED ONE, a new-generation of super-high-resolution camera (much higher than High Definition). The film is still in post-production, for an early 2010 release. I’ve had an article published in OnFilm, the New Zealand trade magazine for the motion picture industry. This article was about the necessity to teach traditional film theory and technique in order to properly prepare students for shooting in High Definition. I have been invited to contribute additional articles on related topics, and have a few in the works. I coordinated and established the technical infrastructure on the Film & Television end of the Rod Oram Forums for the Future, and will do the same next year, when we hope to establish a live webstream of the events, including online interactivity (on an international level) with the Forums as they are occurring.
