MANILA, July 12, 2013- Come December, all cinemas screening Metro Manila Film Festival entries will be presenting the films in digital format, as opposed to the 35mm of years past.
To aid in the transition, the Multimedia Entertainment Arts Foundation (MEA) held a three-day “Movie Production for Digital Migration” workshop at SM North Edsa where a panel of local and international digital workflow experts shared insights and techniques.
MEA officer John Tan, head of Outpost, stressed to workshop attendees the need for production outfits to deal only with “credible and trustworthy postproduction firms” to ensure consistency and “top quality service.”
Tan cited the difficulties experienced by movie outfits last year that were unfamiliar with the processes necessary for the processing, handling and packaging of their digital files.
Eight films will be competing for honors at this year’s MMFF, including "Be Careful with My Heart", "Torky and My Little Bossing”, "Boy Girl Bakla Tomboy", "My Super Kap”, "10,000 Hours", "San Pedro Calungsod, Batang Martir", "Pagpag" and the latest sequel in the "Kimmy Dora" franchise.
