A big thank-you to all the guests, partners and sponsors who came to the Televisual Village Fete yesterday, June 23rd, and made it such a great day.
For the second year, the fete was set in the beautiful gardens of Regent’s University in Regent’s Park with 700 people from across the post and VFX community enjoying the five bars, three excellent street food vans, a table tennis tournament, a table football competition, a slot car circuit, giant wirebuzz, tetris and jenga, roulette, giant chess and a revolving photo booth as well as tech demos and a raffle with fantastic prizes, raising money for Medecins Sans Frontieres, with the guests enjoying each other’s company, and the games and activities, into the evening.
As you would expect, Televisual worked with the latest camera technology and workflows to capture the event (click on the main image to see the pre-grade film) including a Sony FX3 mounted on a Cyclops helmet (which has to be seen to be believed) and a Sony Burano both with the PDT-FP1 on board monitor / data transmitter showing camera to Sony’s Ci Media Cloud where we edited the wrap film as if on the other side of the world (but actually only yards away on location).
A very big thanks to all our sponsors for providing the food, drinks, entertainment and raffle prizes on the dayand making the event possible.

The raffle prizes included bottles of English sparkling loveliness from Arthur at FilmLight, magnums of fizz from Guy from AKA, Simon from AJA with Marc from DigiBox, Matt from Digital Garage and Matt from GB Labs. Simon from Dot Group gave a magnum of Dom Perignon! Duncan from Tuxera brought a Finnish Hamper with three bottles of Finnish spirits and other goodies.
