What's the BuZZ?

John Schellenger - VP of Production, GlamourKey

Stock footage is, generally, full-screen images. However, GlamourKey.com shoots all their material on green-screen which allows you to customize otherwise stock footage. If you are looking for glamour, fashion and beauty, you can pick your model, your background and customize your media before you buy. We thought that was way cool. So, we invited John Schellenger, vp of production, to discuss how they make their stuff look so good.

The BuZZ Beat

Animation BuZZ -- Paul Reeves, Technical Support Engineer, Aardman Animations -

On our recent trip to the UIK, the BuZZ stopped at the Aardman Animations studios, home of Wallace and Gromit, as well as feature-length films like Chicken Run. There, we met Paul Reeves, who is one of the lead technicians responsible for moving all the data from one place to another. This week, we talk with him about the IT challenges of the move to tapeless media, maintaining projects that take years to complete, and what its like to work at a company where everything moves in stop-motion.
