Ever wonder if
test patterns are really necessary?
Hollywood thinks they are:
On Wednesday April 24th,
the Hollywood Section of SMPTE

Test Patterns, Science and
. . . Art?
Joe Kane headed up
presentations by Lucy Raven, the well known artist, writer and
editor based in New York,
Dan Sherlock of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and
Vince Roth of Fotokem.

Lucy Raven discussed her interest in test patterns as an
art form, while
Dan Sherlock and Vince Roth of Fotokem, explored the
history and
evolution of test images in film and television, analyzing how they
improve and enrich our media experience. |
