In 2007 TransISTor offers three intensive training sessions that combine
practical workshops, case studies and theoretical presentations by
renowned professionals from Europe, USA and Japan. Among the presenters
there will be:
Viktor Antonov (FR) http://www.vulkanbros.com/
Friedrich Kirschner (AT) http://www.zeitbrand.de/
Julian Oliver (NZ) http://www.selectparks.net/~julian/

Session 1: Game modifications and machinima films
From combination of comics and video games to films created with game
engines. This session will provide an overview of tools and techniques
used for customizing and expanding computer games. We will examine
issues of game design and game play in the context of cross media
production. The goal is to explore the basics of how to create and
modify game levels. In the intensive 4-day workshop your will create
your first machinima film.
Session 2: Motion capture and stereoscopy for games and film
During the intensive 4-day workshop you will investigate different
motion capture techniques and carry out a collaborative project.
Experienced tutors will explain the different motion capture systems,
the process of setting sensors, recording sessions and the computer data
post-processing. The goal is to experience the latest technologies, to
integrate them and to create your own stereoscopic film with special
effects.
Session 3: Serious games, web 2.0 and future cinema
This session is focused on the alternative forms of games and web 2.0
applications that are used for entertainment as well as for
non-entertainment purposes such as art, edutainment, marketing,
simulations, management and public policy. We will look closer at how
these technologies are used for non-gaming events and processes,
including simulations of business and military operations, psychotherapy
or medicine. In the workshop you will create your own serious game
scenario and experiment with web 2.0 applications, e.g. Google map
mashups in art, business and cinema.
