Author Topic: Ken Burns - Chat Sponsored by Kodak John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-04-2002 07:18 AM                        Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns will receive the International Documentary Association (IDA) 2002 Career Achievement Award. The presentation will be made during the 18th Annual IDA Awards Gala Benefit in Los Angeles on December 13 at the Directors Guild of America Theatre. http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/forum/documentary/burnsIDA.shtml Burns has produced 19 documentaries beginning with Brooklyn Bridge in 1980. He earned an Oscar nomination for that effort and has subsequently received an array of Emmy®, Peabody, People's Choice and other awards and tributes. His eclectic body of work includes The Civil War, Huey Long, The Statue of Liberty, Baseball, The West, Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Thomas Jefferson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Not For Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, Jazz, The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God, Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio and Mark Twain. Kodak will be hosting an online chat with Ken Burns on Friday, December 13th from 10:30 - 11:30 Pacific Time. I will post details when available.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-04-2002 02:23 PM                        That chat will be here at Film-Tech, correct?

With the upcoming addition of Film-Tech Jr. there's going to be quite a bit of usage, with the movie downloads and all. You know maybe that's what John was talking about when he mentioned Kodak's involvement with Digital Cinema Networks.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-04-2002 04:18 PM                        Maybe we should have Film-Tech host or at least mirror the entire Kodak website? What's the annual cost per petabyte?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I'm sure that someone would be willing to charge you more though. Heck, I'll do it for $210k/month, Canadian or US, you pick. For the moderate user, 1PB a year would be about $17k month. I hope AT&T isn't charging Kodak that much... but I wouldn't doubt it. Of course even a petabyte a year would work out to about 2.8TB a day... Kodak could only hope the online store was that busy.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-04-2002 05:06 PM                     John, how many people are expected to attend the online chat?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-04-2002 06:58 PM                        Brad asked: "John, how many people are expected to attend the online chat?" I don't really know, since it is coordinated by our folks in Hollywood. I suspect several hundred participants will try to access it. Since it is a moderated chat with one principle subject, obviously not everyone will get to have their questions answered. Kind of like a popular call-in radio show.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-04-2002 07:23 PM                     It would almost seem to me like it would make more sense to have a "view only" chat and have viewers email their questions in to a couple of moderators who would then paste the questions one at a time into the room in real time.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-05-2002 03:05 PM                        Here's a link to information about the Internet Chat session with filmmaker Ken Burns on Friday, December 13: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/news/burnsChat.shtml  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-13-2002 06:44 AM                        Just a reminder of the on-line "chat" with award winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns today (Friday December 13, 10:30am PST, 1:30pm EST ): http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/news/burnsChat.shtml http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/threast/pdfs/thre1213.pdf  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-06-2003 11:03 AM                        For those who missed the "chat" with Ken Burns, the Kodak website now has a transcript of the discussions: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/news/reelTalkBurns.shtml  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-07-2003 08:45 AM                    No one asked him about his hair?  |  IP: Logged
