In 2007 TransISTor offers three intensive
training sessions that combine practical
workshops, case studies and theoretical
presentations by renowned professionals from
Europe, USA and Japan. Among the presenters there will be:

Session 1: Game modifications and machinima films
From combination of comics and video games to
films created with game engines. This session
will provide an overview of tools and
techniques used for customizing and expanding
computer games. We will examine issues of game
design and game play in the context of cross
media production. The goal is to explore the
basics of how to create and modify game levels.
In the intensive 4-day workshop your will create your first machinima film.
Session 2: Motion capture and stereoscopy for games and film
During the intensive 4-day workshop you will
investigate different motion capture techniques
and carry out a collaborative project.
Experienced tutors will explain the different
motion capture systems, the process of setting
sensors, recording sessions and the computer
data post-processing. The goal is to experience
the latest technologies, to integrate them and
to create your own stereoscopic film with special effects.
Session 3: Serious games, web 2.0 and future cinema
This session is focused on the alternative forms
of games and web 2.0 applications that are used
for entertainment as well as for
non-entertainment purposes such as art,
edutainment, marketing, simulations, management
and public policy. We will look closer at how
these technologies are used for non-gaming
events and processes, including simulations of
business and military operations, psychotherapy
or medicine. In the workshop you will create
your own serious game scenario and experiment
with web 2.0 applications, e.g. Google map mashups in art, business and cinema.
