Like true geeks, the fathers in the community will find themselves waking up on Father’s Day at a conference, not with their children.  Remember to wear your favourite Father’s Day tie to the last day of PAB2009.

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Because of the success of the impromptu Pecha Kucha session at PAB2008, we’ve decided to make it part of the informal program of PAB2009.

We have allocated the same time block as last year — 8:00am through 8:45am — on Sunday, June 21 for a community-organized Pecha Kucha session.  Anyone wishing to participate should regulate their Saturday night partying, wake up fresh on Sunday and head to the conference facilities to get involved.

We will be publishing a PDF booklet with a full schedule and descriptions of the PAB2009 sessions.  In the meantime, we are publishing the schedule online.

We are in the process of finalizing the PAB2009 program.  Among the delays in publishing the program is a series of changes, several of them have come about in the last week.

The first of the significant changes is with the video production workshop.  IMAX Cinematographer and Director of Photography, Mark Poirier, was scheduled to conduct that workshop.  Unfortunately (for us), Mark has been called away to capture the maiden flights of Boeing’s new Dreamliner on IMAX film.  Our very own Paul Lyzun (who was looking forward to attending Mark’s session) is stepping in to take over the workshop.

If you’re interested in telling stories through video and you want your camcorder to produce footage that looks better, come to this session, Friday afternoon at PAB2009.  Paul will cover topics including getting the most out of available light, framing the best shot, shooting for the edit, creative editing techniques  and lots of other dos and don’ts that will turn surveillance footage into something watch-able.  Bring your camera and any video you would like to share.

You’ve heard of 6-packs, Backpacks, Party Packs and the ever famous Canadian 2-4.  PAB wants to popularize a new concept.  We’re introducing the 4-pack.

The 4-pack is designed to help friends and organizations attend PAB2009 and save a few dollars in the process.  If you register as a 4-pack, you’ll save $100 on the package price ($25 savings per person).

Register your 4-pack using this link.

We’re busy tweaking the schedule and making some last minute changes to the program.  Thanks for your patience.
