THEATRE D would like to invite the members of the Toronto section and their guests to attend a presentation of the conceptualization, design and execution of Theatre D located in Toronto's Midtown.

The new environment is Toronto's first new post facility for picture and sound editing, finishing, screening, and exhibition in the last ten years. Innovative in both timing and concept, Theatre D was designed in consultation with established and emerging directors, producers and editors.

This will be a presentation on the conceptualization, design and execution of Theatre D at the location of Toronto's old Regent Theatre on Mount Pleasent. Guest speakers will discuss their involvement with Theatre D as well as the state of post production today and in the near future. The visual presentations will be in stunning Hi-Def with many practical examples from the presenters.

Guest Speakers: David Greene of UNLIMITED PRODUCTIONS - Music for 5.1 how and when and what is the current discipline now that digital has eliminated most tweaks

John Hallman of D-CINEMA - where is it at, and why is it being blocked from the exhibition market

Martin Pilchner of PILCHNER SCHOUSTAL INC.- Acoustic measurement and calibration for large rooms (including use of membrane absorbers and large room personality)

John Hazen of THEATRE D DIGITAL - Dialogue Lab; how to deal with the wave of dialogue recorded under bad conditions (systematic methods to clean dialogue)

Omi Craden - Mixing for Film; Control surface vs pass through console (ProControl vs console only automation)

Steven Barden and Jill Purdy of SOUND DOGS TORONTO - What's hip in digital audio workflow from set to mix. (metadata and the Nagra V)

Kevin Parker and Craig Lue of STEVE'S MUSIC - Introduce Steve's Digital and their commitment to post production

5.1 Music for Film - An Overview David Greene, VP Production - Unlimited Productions, Ltd. The recent acceptance of both the exhibitors and the movie going public of high performance audio playback systems in theaters has provided both composers and music producers with a broader sonic pallet. This brief discussion will outline some of the joys and pitfalls that have come with the territory

There will be Q and A after each speaker. Beer and finger food will be provided at the reception following.
