IT, Security & Surveillance Concerns January 31, 2006 New Century, New Risks? • Development in information technologies has fundamentally changed the global environment for individual & state security: its perception, maintenance and the nature of its threat. • Ontological insecurity: a profound emotional uneasiness about one's safety and security, or even one's existence. A term coined by R.D. Laing. • A new feeling of fear and impending catastrophe. • Security has become a central political, societal and economic issue. • The need for safety vs. the need for freedom: How to balance between the two? IS 376: Information Technology & 2 Society Lecture Notes Changing Nature of Surveillance in the Information Age • A heavy (in some cases, exclusive) reliance on modern information and communication technologies (ICTs). • Shift from centralized state informational power to dispersed assemblage (although the state keeps its powerful presence). • Shift from targeting specific individuals to categorical suspicion, and from individuals to networks and organizations. IS 376: Information Technology & 3 Society Lecture Notes Social Sorting • Categorical suspicion: someone is in the suspect category because he/she belongs to a particular category or group. • Social categorizing: a discriminatory mechanism to classify people based on superficial social-demographic or other criteria. • "Racial" profiling: typically along "Arab" lines • Other types of profiling: e.g., particular behavioral patterns; communication & purchasing activities; religious groups. IS 376: Information Technology & 4 Society Lecture Notes Perspectives on Surveillance (1) • Big Brother (by George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Published in 1949): A dictator in Occana, a totalitarian state, that keeps everybody under complete surveillance (via a telescreen) at all times. The "thought police" co- ordinate the monitoring effort of the state in order to maintain social order and conformity. • Panopticon (Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish, published in 1975): a prison design in which visibility of inmates are maximized by enabling the guards in the central tower to watch the prisoners at all times without being seen. – New surveillance technologies, some argue, have created an "electronic panopticon" for modern societies. IS 376: Information Technology & 5 Society Lecture Notes Perspectives on Surveillance (2) • Surveillant assemblage: a term proposed by Haggerty and Ericson (2000) to describe the evolving mechanisms of surveillance techniques and technologies. • With the latest developments of new information and communication technologies, discrete electronic monitoring systems can be combined to provide for exponential increases in the degree of surveillance capacity, both by the state and extra-state institutions. • The "disappearance of disappearance": it is increasingly difficult for individuals to maintain their anonymity or stay away from monitoring mechanisms. • A series of discreet flows about individuals is reassembled in different locations to achieve an unprecedented level of surveillance over those individuals. IS 376: Information Technology & 6 Society Lecture Notes Surveillance is Omnipresent • CCTV cameras in public places – There are about 3,000 surveillance cameras in Manhattan, NYC – The city of Chicago has at least 2,000 surveillance cameras in its neighborhoods. • Iris-scans at the airports • DNA databanks by law enforcement agencies • Fingerprint databases by federal agencies • Other technologies: smart cards, face-recognition, biometrics, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), etc. IS 376: Information Technology & 7 Society Lecture Notes Surveillance: Important Legislations • Espionage Act of 1917 • Communications Act of 1934 • The Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1968 • Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 • Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 • Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 • USA Patriot Act of 2001 • Homeland Security Act of 2002 IS 376: Information Technology & 8 Society Lecture Notes Espionage Act of 1917 • Passed shortly after the United States entered WWI. • Intended to suppress dissent in time of war. • It authorized the surveillance and wiretapping of German delegations to the United States. IS 376: Information Technology & 9 Society Lecture Notes Communications Act of 1934 • "No person not being authorized by the sender shall intercept any communication and divulge or publish the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect or meaning of such interrupted communication to any person." • Federal agents, however, argued that the law did not apply to them because they were not divulging information. • The Supreme Court ruled in 1937 that wiretapping prohibitions did apply to the Federal government. IS 376: Information Technology & 10 Society Lecture Notes Court Rulings Against Wiretapping: Two Milestone Cases • In Berger vs. New York, the Supreme Court sided with Berger in ruling that the New York State wiretapping statute was unconstitutional because it did not provide for adequate supervision. – The statue did not specify the crimes for which wiretapping was permitted, the places or the people that could be tapped, or the time limitation on wiretapping. • In Katz vs. U.S. of the same year, the Supreme Court declared that wiretapping was a violation of the Fourth Amendment. IS 376: Information Technology & 11 Society Lecture Notes The Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1968 • In response to the decisions in the previous two cases, Congress passed the Act to allow wiretapping in domestic circumstances under very limited conditions. – To protect the nation from attacks and protect national security from foreign powers; – To protect the Government against any clear and present danger. • Wiretapping was allowed for the first time with a court order. • Agents had to prove "probable cause." IS 376: Information Technology & 12 Society Lecture Notes Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 • Allowed for electronic surveillance and physical search of a foreign power. • It limited its application to U.S. persons. • No "probable cause" was needed if it involved a foreign power. IS 376: Information Technology & 13 Society Lecture Notes Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 • ECPA stipulated that online (electronic) communications are protected. It extended government restrictions on wiretapping to transmissions of data by computers, cell phones and other electronic devices. • It also protects messages stored on computers. • The Act, however, is significantly weakened by the USA Patriot Act. • Only against government agencies, not private institutions. IS 376: Information Technology & 14 Society Lecture Notes CALEA • The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). Passed by Congress in 1994, and came into force in 1995. • It is intended to aid law enforcement in its effort to conduct surveillance of citizens via digital telephone networks. • The Act requires telephone companies to make it possible for law enforcement agencies to tap any phone conversations carried out over its networks, as well as making call records available. • The act also stipulates that it must not be possible for a person to detect that his or her conversation is being monitored by the respective government agency. IS 376: Information Technology & 15 Society Lecture Notes USA Patriot Act (1) • Passed 45 days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. • The Act gave government investigators the ability to look into personal phone and Internet records on the basis of being "relevant for an on going investigation concerning international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities", rather than probable cause as outlined in the Fourth Amendment. • So government agencies do not need "sufficient evidence" (i.e. probable cause) to show that somebody is involved in some kind of terrorist activities in order to wiretap or collect other information in relation to the person. • Several amendments have already been made by Congress. IS 376: Information Technology & 16 Society Lecture Notes USA Patriot Act (2) • The Act greatly expanded the scope of traditional tools of surveillance. – Traditionally, pen register and trap and trace are used without having to obtain court order to intercept phone calls. The Act allows more sophisticated tools to trace personal communications. • The type and amount of information the government can obtain has been vastly increased. • Increased information-sharing between law enforcement and intelligence agencies. • Secret searches: the government can conduct secret searches without notifying the subjects. • Several provisions of the Act expired on Dec. 31, 2005. The government is seeking further renewal. IS 376: Information Technology & 17 Society Lecture Notes TIPS • Terrorism Information and Prevention System: an initiative proposed by the Bush Administration. • Designed as a national system for reporting suspicious, and potentially terrorist-related activity, and originally intended to be started in August 2002. • TIPS volunteers, to be in the millions, were to be recruited primarily from among those whose work provided access to homes, businesses or public transport systems. • However, Congress voted this initiative down in November 2002. IS 376: Information Technology & 18 Society Lecture Notes HSA (1) • The Homeland Security Act was signed by President Bush on November 25, 2002. • It created a new Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that consolidated 22 agencies into one department with 170,000 employees. • One of the Department's main roles is to access, receive and analyze information collected from sources including intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and the private sector in order to identify and assess terrorist threats. IS 376: Information Technology & 19 Society Lecture Notes HSA (2) • It will also produce "watch lists" which contain names of persons suspected of some involvement in terrorism, though not wanted for arrest. • The HSA included the Cyber Security Enhancement Act, which has a provision that expands the ability of ISPs to voluntarily disclose information to government officials. The content of e-mail messages or instant messages can be given to a government official in an emergency, without requiring a factual basis stated for the emergency or imminent threat of injury IS 376: Information Technology & 20 Society Lecture Notes ECHELON (1) • Created by the US National Security Agency (NSA) • A global electronic surveillance system that captures and analyzes virtually every phone call, fax, email and telex message sent anywhere in the world. • Other countries participating in the system include: Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. IS 376: Information Technology & 21 Society Lecture Notes ECHELON (2) • How it works: – Intercept stations are positioned all over the world to capture all satellite, microwave, cellular and fiber-optic communications traffic – The information is processed through the NSA super computers using technologies like advanced voice recognition and optical character recognition (OCR), and looking for code words or phrases – Intelligence analysts at each of the "listening stations" then analyze the messages and forward the results to the headquarters • In addition to being used for anti-terrorist purposes, ECHELON has been knowingly used for political spying (on the opponents and unpopular groups/activists) and commercial espionage. IS 376: Information Technology & 22 Society Lecture Notes Carnivore • Was developed by the FBI to intercept any suspicious online message. • It uses a common technology called packet sniffer to monitor network activities. • As of 2005, the FBI has opted for more sophisticated commercial software for the same purpose. IS 376: Information Technology & 23 Society Lecture Notes TALON • A database created by the Pentagon to track domestic terrorist threats against the military. • It contains "raw, non-validated" reports of "anomalous activities" within the United States. • Its stated purpose is "to assemble, process and analyze suspicious activity reports to identify possible terrorist pre-attack activities." • It provides a mechanism to collect and rapidly share reports by "concerned citizens and military members" regarding suspicious incidents. • Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA, created in February 2002 by the Pentagon, funds and manages this system. IS 376: Information Technology & 24 Society Lecture Notes Campus Surveillance • In August 2005, the U.S. government (FCC) extended the reach of CALEA passed in 1994 that requires hundreds of universities, online communications companies and cities to overhaul their Internet computer networks to make it easier for law enforcement authorities to monitor e-mail and other online communications. • The law requires institutions to become compliant within 18 months of the decision. • Estimated costs for college campuses come at $7 billion, which will come at the expense of student tuitions. • Fiercely resisted by university administrators. • Compliance with the law is estimated to increase college tuition by about $450 annually. • Still an ongoing issue. IS 376: Information Technology & 25 Society Lecture Notes General Concerns and Criticisms The government wants us to believe that seeking superior technologies is the best solution to fighting terrorism. But many experts argue that these measures will only result in pervasive surveillance of the general public, yet they will not actually enhance security in the purported campaign against terrorists. Here are an incomplete of common criticisms: – Not effective, and easy to exploit; – Subject to abuse and misuse; – Too much information; and the information already existed in one form or another already prior to these measures; – Lack of oversight from independent parties over these programs; – Unprecedented scope of domestic surveillance; – Lack of justifications for most measures; – Lack of openness and public involvement; – Crucial resources are wasted to pull away law enforcement from key tasks; – Unconstitutional.

General Comments
The Siemens C45 is my favourite phone so far, unfortunatelly I've lost it, but definitely considering buying one again, even second hand.
Phone does not have many features (compared to newer phones), it simply works, and is very easy to use. It is a mobile phone, not a media player, camera, GPS or anything. My favourite feature that I've never seen at any other brand is the automatic switch off function at a preset time of the day.
I've just got a newer phone with bluetooth, camera, MP3 player, color display, etc., but since these features are hardly ever used I still want my C45 back for its excellent SMS typing.
(BTW: I gave 10 points for "Value for Money", but I have no idea how much you have paid for it. It was definitely worth for me.) Very robust. Dropped many times and never broke.
Most convenient SMS typing I've ever used.
Automatic switch off.

Texas' win over Oklahoma should silence Brown critics... for now
OCT 12, 2013 5:47p ET
The 36-20 beatdown his Longhorns delivered Oklahoma in Saturday's Red River Rivalry is vindication enough. Soaked head to toe from a celebratory ice water shower on the sidelines, Brown told a TV camera on the field all the win did was get his team to 3-0. He reiterated that stance on the podium in between a handful of wise cracks in a room full of reporters.
After all that was over, Brown got honest about what a win meant after a 1-2 start and mounting discussion about whether his 16th matchup against Oklahoma at the State Fair of Texas would be his last.
The only thing rarer than a brave soul who picked Texas to pull an upset as a two-touchdown underdog was an Oklahoma fan in the stands as the final seconds ticked away at the Cotton Bowl. To borrow a phrase, in the mecca of fried foods, crow was the only entree Brown and the Longhorns had interest in handing out after a brief dip in hot oil.
Anyone who watched on Saturday would be welcome to a serving, but Brown had no interest in shoving the dish in front of anyone's faces after it was over.
"I'm past that," Brown said. "You know, when you win, they shut up. And that's kind of fun. But it's not what I want to win for. I don't care. I really don't. I just want to win."
That's not Brown's style, anyway.
He enjoyed a parade of hugs (including one from Texas president Bill Powers and) on the way to a joyous rendition of "The Eyes of Texas," and walked off the field with little fanfare. He put his arm around his wife, Sally and flashed a Hook 'Em Horns hand sign to a group of fans before leaving the stadium bowl beneath the shade of the tunnel.
Brown knows the feeling of leaving Dallas embarrassed, frustrated and angry. Until Saturday, he hadn't known the feeling of coaching with unemployment (until TV networks blow up his phone minutes later) hanging over his head.
"I couldn't do it 10 years ago. I'm older. It really doesn't matter. I don't have anything to prove," Brown said. "I'm just trying to win."
Does Saturday's win mean Brown's job is safe? Likely not. Anything other than six more Big 12 victories and a BCS bowl win to give Texas a satisfactory 11-2 season will likely make the conversation Brown's return in 2014 a short one. The impending departure of Brown's boss, athletic director DeLoss Dodds, before the 2014 season makes the odds even longer.
Saturday, though? That was one for the scrapbook. It was the culmination of three years trying to piece together a dominant offensive line to clear the way for a power running game.
The Longhorns bruised the Sooners with 255 rushing yards, including a pair of 120-yard days from Johnathan Gray and Malcolm Brown, who were both the nation's No. 1 running backs in their respective recruiting classes in 2011 and 2012.
"Three years ago. Three years ago," Brown said with an exasperated sigh. "That's what I want. That's what I want to see, and we did that. We did it at Kansas State and got away from it at Iowa State. Part of that is my fault, because they had a young freshman corner come in and I said go get him."
This year, it was the Texas fans who stayed, filled the stadium and celebrated. It was Texas who made the game-breaking special teams plays and scored a defensive touchdown to grasp control early.
That had been Oklahoma's duty in the past two meetings, but Brown was quick to remind that Texas has now won five of nine games against the Sooners here.
Former running back turned 295-pound defensive tackle picked off Blake Bell and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown to put Texas up 10-3 and give it a lead it never gave back.
"As he ran it back, had it high and tight and dove in the end zone. We said if it'd been 40 yards away instead of 30, he wouldn't have made it," Brown said.
Entering Saturday, it almost seemed like Texas was bracing for impact. Even the Texas band's halftime medley of Les Misérables tunes made you wonder if there was anyone in burnt orange who thought the Longhorns could avoid a third consecutive beatdown. Brown insisted after the game he thought Texas would win and knew his team would play well.
"We've got a chance to win the Big 12 and go to the BCS. We really do. We're not in the grave. We're crawling out," Brown said. "We're actually alive and have a chance here at 4-2."
In a media-saturated world, it's a near-impossibility to avoid coming to Dallas without hearing some discussion about why Texas needs a new boss, when it'll be official and who it'll be. Plenty of Texas players denied it, but offensive coordinator Major Applewhite struck a more honest tone.
"Some people had us fried, died and laid at the side," he said. "Some of that stuff will filter through and you'll hear about it, but you'll realize that's just football. Those type of people are going to be those kind of people. To hell with 'em and continue to focus on the team."
Granted, Applewhite could only smile when asked if there's a level of satisfaction in shutting up that talk, if only for awhile.
"Hell yeah," he said. "You're not going to be vindictive and go find every single person that's wrote something bad about you, because like I said, their inconsequential. They don't matter. It's just what they do. Let them do their jobs. We'll do ours."
Brown challenged a question about a supposed display after the game that was more "emotional" than most games.
"I didn't think I was very emotional at all," Brown said.
He wasn't. He didn't shed a tear. He didn't let out a triumphant scream. He simply called his players over for a traditional fight song, accepted the Golden Hat Trophy ("Which I hadn't done in awhile, so I needed somebody to tell me what to do," Brown joked), and handed it to his seniors before leaving the mass of burnt orange jerseys and yelling for his wife, Sally, to join him.
"I think you all wanted me to be emotional. I had 97 cameras in my face. I couldn't see the band," Brown said. "I like winning football games. That's my job."
That won't change until somebody tells him it's not his job anymore.

Meat Mallet
This is my first time to post. I'm in the market for a meat mallet (pounder). Was wondering what kind to get. Any suggestions? I once had a wooden mallet but think a metel one would work better.
Thanks, Mary
Mary, I have this one. I like it for the offset handle, and it's heavy enough to do a good job. I also have a rubber mallet that works almost as well, that I picked up in the camping department at Wally World...
Here is a link that might be useful: Norpro meat pounder
I use an OXO.
Here is a link that might be useful: meat mallet
I've never used a meat mallet but I always had the perception they had these knobby things that lightly punctured the meat. I guess that's why I've never understood doing this in plastic wrap. I can see being able to do this with a flat mallet. So it works well???
I don't use the mallet (pounder) to tenderize -- I use it to flatten the meat into a thin cutlet. Using the plastic wrap keeps it from getting messy. I use something else to tenderize -- don't know what the name of it is since I bought it years ago in England.
By the way, I was using a wooden mallet/pounder which I'm replacing. I just ordered the metal one Clare recommended.

This unique line is handcrafted original, elegant, and eclectic gemstone jewelry for women who like to lead in style, not follow. In life I like to be very free spirited and I am passionate about creating looks that reflect that inner essence. I also craft custom pieces for special occasions like weddings and bridesmaid gifts.
What was your motivation? I was in a car accident that left me disabled with a spine injury and unable to continue working at my office job in Commercial Banking. After a bout with depression and feeling completely lost I decided to pull out my jewelry tools and see if I could follow a dream I had let go of years earlier for a stable income. What happened has blown me away, the joy that creating beautiful unique items has brought me is truly amazing and the reaction from people motivates me to push AstridLily Designs to the next level.
Biggest Challenge: My biggest challenge has been believing in myself and really putting my creations out there for all the world to see. The response has been overwhelmingly positive!
Best decision I ever made? The very best decision I ever made was simply following my creative dreams.
How has the internet changed the way I do business? I originally created jewelry and sold at private parties, then when I discovered Etsy I opened an online shop. Having a website is so beneficial to a business, it is a great way to really get the word out.
What is your best source for new business? Definitely word of mouth. My customers are so loyal and they tell all of their friends who then come and check out AstridLily Designs online or at shows and in the stores our jewelry is now found in.
What is the one thing I need right now? I need a studio space! My apartment has become a jewellery store.
The biggest sale of the year, on now! Find almost $4 million worth of items such as cars, trips, furniture, gift cards and more at discounts of up to 50% off. Don't miss out as savvy shoppers will move fast to take advantage of these deep discounts. Sale ends Wednesday, April 1, at 9 p.m. Like it? Buy it before its gone.

The Malik Report
Boycotting NHL merchandise in song and requesting lockout 'protest'/coping strategy ideas
by George Malik on 09/14/12 at 02:20 AM ET
Comments (0)
Over the next couple of...Um...probably weeks to two months, we fans are going to have some time on our hands, and while there's quite a bit of time to think about the possibility of organizing protests at NHL rinks to support local and "average" rink, team and broadcast employees and businesspeople who'll get most acutely screwed by this lockout, possibly showing up at negotiations in Toronto or New York to be annoying, perhaps engaging in the creation of lockout merchandise (my favorite idea remains, "I went to my NHL team's rink, and all they refused to do was take my money) or other forms of positive fan insurgency--knowing full well that it won't affect negotiations, even if we show up in persno to remind Gary and co. that we're people and not walking dollar signs whose discretionary income the NHL and NHLPA are arguing over (Wings fans and Penguins fans, chanting together, mass hysteria), but knowing that protest will at least help us cope and maybe give us some sense of hope during what is likely to be a painful time without hockey.
In that spirit, Yahoo Sports' Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski provides us with a wonderful inspiration for an entry I hope will encourage you to throw some ideas on the wall and see what sticks, or what's meaningful to you, via Arun, an incredibly talented YouTube user who turned a Jason Mraz song into a rallying cry, encouraging fans to hang up their NHL teams' jerseys, t-shirts and merchandise while also agreeing to not purchase a damn thing from shop.nhl.com until the lockout is over:
Again, from the srart, I get that these protests aren't going to change the course of CBA negotiations, not one bit, no matter how cleverly anyone can show up with 1,500 of their closest friends outside the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and sing the lyrics to Ben Folds Five's "Song for the Dumped," for example.
But this lockout, especially for those of us who love the game, love our teams and love our players too much to leave, is going to be a grieving process, and we've got to find a way to cope together and help each other through what is likely to be a long and uncomfortable process.
If you're not keen on signing up to comment (we don't do anything with your information: Paul has users register to dissuade trolling, that's all), you can reach me via Twitter, Facebook or email at georgemalik at kuklaskorner dot com. And we've got a while to bounce ideas off each other. How long, we don't know yet.

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

text: I Celebrated Christmas in a Detention Center by Jacob G. Hornberger March 10, 2006 Some 30 years ago, I celebrated Christmas in a detention center outside my hometown of Laredo, Texas. The center was entirely devoted to holding illegal aliens, almost all of whom were from Mexico. Before I share this experience with you, I need to place the situation in a larger context.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/19/14
If Jeremy Lin were Ray Allen, he would be headed to Houston. Allen took advantage of his status as an unrestricted free agent to go where he felt wanted, signing with the Miami Heat for less money than he could have received from the Boston Celtics. Lin, as a restricted free agent, does not have Allen's freedom, which is why last season's biggest pre-Finals headline-maker will probably be back with the New York Knicks this fall. The Knicks were not as aggressive in their early offseason pursuit of the box office sensation as Lin's camp would have liked, according to...

Dreamworks Animation has announced that they will be producing all movies in 3-D starting in 2009.
With the growing number of digital-cinema installations, it is now possible to project 3-D features in more theaters. Dreamworks expects that there will be several thousand 3-D capable screens by 2009.
My experience with 3-D has not been something that makes me look forward to entire feature-length movie done in three dimensions. The most recent experience was in Superman Returns: An IMAX 3-D Experience, where the viewer was expected to wear specialized glasses for certain segments of the movie, donning and removing the glasses on cue.
Granted, Superman Returns was not designed from the beginning as a 3-D movie, but I think it will be quite some time before audiences will see 3-D as anything more than a gimmick. Given the amount of attention 3-D is getting from the industry (James Cameron stated last April that he only wants to do 3-D from now on), I might be wrong. Either that, or 3-D will prove to be short-lived as a feature of full-length movies and relegated to specialized use.
Press Release
DreamWorks Animation Goes 3D
GLENDALE, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (NYSE: DWA) announced today its intention to produce all of its films in stereoscopic 3D technology starting in 2009. To best take advantage of the technology, the company will now be creating films utilizing stereoscopic 3D from the beginning of its creative process.
"I believe that this is the greatest opportunity for movies and for the theatrical exhibition business that has come along in 30 years," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation. "Advancements in sound have dramatically improved the auditory experience, but there hasn't been a corresponding breakthrough in the way we see movies until now. Stereoscopic 3D technology gives us a real opportunity to significantly enhance the theater experience."
To date, most films shown in 3D have been created for traditional projection and then rendered into 3D in post-production. In order to take full advantage of the new technology, DreamWorks intends to make films with the stereoscopic 3D concept in mind from the beginning of the production process. The company believes that this approach will increase its storytelling opportunities and create a more immersive movie-viewing experience.
"Historically, 3D has been used primarily as an add-on or a bonus feature," Katzenberg said. "And while audiences have enjoyed that, they haven't really seen the true potential of this technology. We're going to use the latest stereoscopic 3D technology to build our movies from the ground up. We believe that this will create more opportunities for our artists as well as more compelling experience for the audience."
The growth in the number of theaters capable of projecting 3D films has dramatically risen in the past two years. It is expected by 2009 that there will be several thousand screens equipped for 3D. DreamWorks Animation believes that the rapid deployment of digital cinemas by exhibitors around the world and the latest technology developments will allow the company to take advantage of this new platform. The company has started production on its first film in this format, Monsters vs. Aliens (working title), intended for release in the summer of 2009.
"I believe CG animation is in the best position to take advantage of the latest advancement in 3D technology," said Katzenberg. "Since our films are made digitally, it presents numerous opportunities for our filmmakers. And by moving into this area now, DreamWorks Animation is developing expertise that will differentiate our films and provide a lasting competitive advantage."
The exhibition industry sees a major opportunity from this new format.
"Theater owners are excited by this technology because it not only provides a more special movie-going experience but also a meaningful growth opportunity as research suggests more people come to see 3D movies, and ticket pricing has more flexibility," said Jim Tharp, President of Distribution for Paramount Pictures, distributor of DreamWorks movies. "The advancements in home entertainment products, especially flat-screen TVs, have made it more important than ever that exhibitors offer a unique and special theatrical experience, 3D does that in a big way and film goers have already seen that this can be a premium experience."
DreamWorks is assembling a world-class team to drive its stereoscopic 3D vision.
Jason Clark, who most recently was Executive Producer on Monster House 3D and Jim Mainard, who for many years was the head of DreamWorks Animation's Research and Development, will both be leading the launch of DreamWorks Animation's stereoscopic 3D efforts.
Phil McNally, Stereographer on Chicken Little & Stereographic Supervisor on Meet the Robinsons, will be the Stereographic Supervisor on DreamWorks Animation's first stereoscopic 3D movie, Monsters vs. Aliens.
"I'm thrilled to welcome Phil and Jason to the DreamWorks team," Katzenberg said. "Along with Jim, we will have tremendous leadership for this initiative. By combining their talents and expertise with our resources and commitment, I believe we will be able to tell better stories and create a totally new and special experience for movie goers."
