We were very happy to host UCSD’s Digital Arts Center in the studio for two of their studio production classes. This video was produced as part of the class. Student Tom Antl set up some of the lighting elements, shot all of the clips in the opening sequence, and was the roving 3rd camera during the interview. He also edited & color graded the piece as well as created the simple animations at the beginning and end. The class was being lead by professional photographer David Max Steinberg.

What I find interesting about Mark’s talk is how wireless technology has infiltrated and improved industries that we don’t generally think of as high tech!
As he says, “It is just the beginning…”
