DAC 2011 Was The Place To Be!

This past weekend, we traveled to sunny San Diego to film a video for the Design Automation Conference (DAC). For the past 48 years, DAC has been the premier event for the design of circuits, electronic design automation, and silicon solutions.

We started the trip by capturing shots of the Dodge Rock n’ Roll Marathon, an event with many DAC participants.

The next day, we woke up at the crack of dawn to drive to the beautiful San Diego Convention Center to spend the day filming the conference.

One of the highlights for us was using a new piece of equipment called the Glidecam HD. Unlike most camera stabilizers, the Glidecam HD is not harnessed to the body and is completely hand held. Because of the extra mobility that this provides, it is possible to achieve a much wider range of motion than traditional stabilizers.

We spent the morning getting a mix of footage from the showroom floor, educational sessions, and interviews with both exhibitors and attendees of the conference.

After a full day of shooting, we got right to work editing the video for presentation at the keynote address the following morning. As the crowd filed into the hall, our video was shown on the main screen. Altogether, it was a great trip and a great shoot.
