Alright, time to visit IBC, the international broadcasting convention! I am just visiting, and seeing what other industries are doing when it comes to tools. Starting off with this enormous camera crane that you can try out!

Next, this automated camera rig, with a spline animation tool that has the route and runs in.

Getting very Metal Gear vibes from this camera drone

This is the biggest drone I have ever seen, hanging over the DJI booth. (Also, I am wondering what other industries are milling about here.)

(So, my plan today was to cross-post the conference using Indigo by @anilineapps.bsky.social, but I am sad to report it is not up for prime time usage yet. It constantly disconnects accounts, fails to upload posts, fails specifically on video uploads, and has a very confusing interface for threads)

In better news: There is a Star Wars Zero Company physical maquette at this conference?? Looks really neat!

I would love to see more physical level design creations like this. Usually you only see characters, or vehicles, but this is a whole level! I also appreciate how silly it looks to have a bridge covered in chest high boxes. You can instantly tell it’s a videogame

Already spotted two emmys so far. Now that I am thinking about it, it’s kinda interesting how I only ever see awards displayed at IGF booths at game conferences. Makes sense I guess, because it’s the game winning it, and it’s only shown one time, one year I’d still like folks to rep their wins more
