Folks, This is a reminder of the brown bag presentation today. I would recommend that you get there a little early as Benjy has a limited number of 3D glasses (39) for the presentation. Benjy is an award winning videographer, director, photographer and story teller. He has produced works for National Geographic, the Discovery Channel, and PBS. He will show some 3D images of the cave where 37 Jews hid out during WWII which was documented in the book and movie “No Place on Earth” He will discuss the concept and techniques for the use of 3D images for educational and documentation purposes. He has developed a number of techniques and photo equipment for creating 3D images.

Abstract Adventure Documentary Filmmaker Benjamin von Cramon has reinvented himself as an inventor, will present on his pioneering work in the emerging field of reality capture and share some of the fruits of his efforts in 3D, virtual Priest’s Grotto Cave in western Ukraine. Priest’s Grotto was used as a hiding place for Jews during the Second World War. This presentation will introduce the audience to 3D film and photo techniques utilizing cutting edge technology. Biography Benjamin von Cramon, flim maker — His body of work defies clean titles and easy categories. In 25 years of writing, shooting, and editing for broadcast, institutional, and private industry, von Cramon recalibrates between wildly disparate projects, from documentaries filmed in prisons to stories in Fourth World homesteads to intensely visceral adventure docs deep underground. The auteur is as comfortable developing content around issues of great social import as he is problem-solving advanced technologies used to innovate the art of story-telling. A Fellow of the National Speleological Society and The Explorers Club, a qualified stereo rig tech for Element Technica, and a developer for Autodesk Labs, Reality Capture Group, the arc of his dynamic career reflects a sustained effort to elevate the latest technologies in their usefulness to education for highly visual learning experiences. Each of von Cramon’s projects are informed by broad humanities education, grounded in highly physical experiences, and are inspired by unbound curiosity and tempered hope for the human condition. Thank you.
