THE PRODUCTION SHOW GOES LIVE WITH WEBCASTS

THE Production Show 2001 will enjoy truly global exposure via live webcasts from the show.
The footage is to be streamed to the broadcast news portal at www.produxion.com and also newly launched media streaming company Metro Digital’s website at www.metrodigital.tv.
The content is expected to include exhibitor features, exclusive VIP guest interviews, and features on the show, plus in-depth coverage of behind the scenes activity.
Commenting on Metro's involvement Nicholas Taylor, MD said: "The Production Show's focus this year on creativity meeting technology is what Metro Digital is all about: providing a simple, fully integrated package of webcasting services that seamlessly combine technology with creativity, from capture, through post-production, right through to streaming. We're delighted to be putting our expertise into action at Olympia, streaming content from The Production Show live direct to www.produxion.com and
www.metrodigital.tv."
This year's show brings together last year's partnership of FOR A and The Production Show to present 8 x 20-minute shows entirely made and broadcast live from the FOR A 3D Digiwarp stand on the exhibition floor.
Two key new partners in the project this year include, Metro Digital who will be supplying webstreaming technologies, camera crews and together with Tyrell will also be supplying an Avid editing system.
KPM music will be supplying the show with a selection from their atmosphere music library.
The live show, which will run form March 13 to March 15, will be presented this year by Telewest's Countyfocus Presenter, Cory Sams, with sets designed by Star Wars 1 and 2, 3D animator Caine Dickenson. (CD)
