Wendy Creed, an industry leader in event & environmental design & production, recently tapped Radar Multimedia to produce media content for the New York City premiere of "The Dark Knight." Radar's Drew Lucas and Gorman Stanley created more than 30 minutes of original content for the 16-screen display in the middle of the room as well as projected content for the chandeliers around the room. The Radar team worked closely with Visions Lighting to make sure Wendy's vision could be technically executed flawlessly on-site.

Foursquare Live!

The Foursquare Church recently tapped Radar to help produce the Foursquare Live! event. With only three weeks notice, Radar helped TFC coordinate the lighting and live video elements for a live concert event on March 12th in Eagle Rock. The April 5th event was a combination of pre-taped concert footage from the 12th, and a 4-camera live studio portion that was broadcast to more than 200 churches nationwide in both English and Spanish. The 5-hour satellite event was transmitted live from HD Vision Broadcast Center in Studio City with the help of CCN and PACSAT. Radar's Matthew Warren directed the simulcast with Derek Williams and Drew Lucas serving as co-producer and stage manager respectively.

Old Radar 24P Reel

I found this video today. It's from September 2004. It made me want to go back to Uganda. This is a 24P showreel that Radar cut together featuring footage from the Panasonic 100A, which Radar had just purchased at the time. It was intended to show how video holds up in harsh sunlight, silked environments, available interior light and long lens situations. I'm looking forward to seeing the new showreel once we shoot some footage on the HPX3000.

HD DVD is Dead

So HD DVD is officially dead. Toshiba announced today that they would discontinue developing, manufacturing and marketing HD DVD players and recorders. The announcement ends a two-year-long battle with Blu-ray Disc to succeed DVD (even though Blu-ray still has a long way to go since most players are still experiencing incredible-long load times and glitches with the firmware). The move came soon after both Wal-Mart and Netflix announced they would only carry Blu-ray product, and Best Buy announced it would give preference to Blu-ray. Warner Home Video's decision in early January to only support Blu-ray left HD DVD with Paramount Home Entertainment and Universal Studios Home Entertainment as the only major studios supporting the format. Hardware sales data the week after Warner's announcement showed 93% of high-def players sold were Blu-ray, according to The NPD Group, and Nielsen VideoScan data has consistently shown Blu-ray software outselling HD DVD 3:1 or more. Toshiba significantly lowered its player prices during the holiday season, and Microsoft dropped the price of its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on by $50 earlier this month. Toshiba also bought a 30-second Super Bowl ad for a reported $2.7 million, but apparently was not effective in boosting sales or digging into Blu-ray's lead.

What do you think? Will you miss HD DVD or is it "c'est la vie"?
