Olivier Derivière
Olivier Derivière
The role of audio department in dev teams. Panel discussion
For more than a decade, Olivier Deriviere has been scoring music for video games and has been praised for both his composition and his way of connecting his music with the game experience. He started studying classical percussions at the age of 5 and went on to study harmony, counterpoint and instrumentation under the guidance of Mr. Jean Louis Luzignant at the Conservatory of Nice, France. As a teenager he learned a lot about the technical aspects of writing music for interactive media when he attended many coding parties where passionate people would compete in creating code, graphics and music on computers. In 2000 he won a scholarship to Berklee College of Music to study film scoring and jazz. There in Boston he had the incredible opportunity to spend an entire season with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and interact with renowned musicians, composers and conductors. His experience with the BSO taught him more about music scoring than ever before. and fueled his vision to bring great performers to video games.
In 2002 he moved to Paris and began scoring short films, TV ads and documentaries. During this time he wrote both the script and the music for the critically-acclaimed short movie "The Toast," for which he won many awards. In 2003 he was hired by Hydravision to score their first game, Obscure, a survival horror game. His decision to engage the talents of Children's Choir of the National Opera of Paris for the production of Obscure earned him his first piece of press ("It sounds terrific" - IGN ). For Obscure 2: The Aftermath, Deriviere added the Boston String Quartet (formed by BSO members) to the choir and once again attracted exceptional press attention ("Where the audio does shine... is the soundtrack" -Total Video Games). As a result of reviews from such distinguished publications, Eden Games approached Deriviere to score the reboot of the franchise Alone in the Dark in 2008. For Alone in the Dark he wrote original songs that were performed by the Grammy ® winners The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices and the score was released worldwide by the Hollywood music label Milan Records as an original soundtrack that has been recognized by Billboard and The New York Times.
In 2009 him and his sister Marion Deriviere founded Ameo Prod Inc. which is based in San Francisco and devoted to provide services for music productions. In 2010 Deriviere composed the original score to the video game Tangled (adapted from the feature film of the same name) for Disney Interactive Studios and then returned to darker lands to score the music for Of Orcs and Men, an action RPG set in a fantasy world where an orc is sent on a suicide mission to save his entire race. To capture the harsh climate and melancholic mood of the game, Deriviere hired the Boston Cello Quartet from the BSO and the soundtrack was released by Wayo Records. In 2012 Capcom and Dontnod Entertainment asked Deriviere to provide them with a unique score to support their new game Remember Me, set in a futuristic and dystopian Neo-Paris where the memories can be digitized, shared and hacked. This mega-production was performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra and recorded in London by Grammy ® winning legendary recording and mixing engineer John Kurlander. The Remember Me soundtrack made a huge impact and garnered such enthusiastic praises as MTV's Miguel Concepcion soundtrack review, which called Deriviere "game music's eclectic daredevil." In 2013 Deriviere was hired to score Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry, a stand-alone story about Adewale, a former slave-turned-assassin who attempts to save his enslaved people in Haiti.
In September 2014 Olivier Deriviere became part of Hollywood based agency Evolution Music Partners where Seth Kaplan represents his work for movies and video games.
His main focus continues to be enhancing the player's interactive experience through music

November 25, 2015
SAN ANTONIO (May 7, 2009)--Troy Neel, a former professional baseball player who owes $763,059 in unpaid child support, pleaded guilty today to a federal criminal non-support charge in San Antonio. After entering his guilty plea with U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez of the Western District of Texas' San Antonio Division, Neel faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
"Troy Neel failed to make more than $750,000 in court-ordered child support payments," said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. "After retiring from professional sports, Neel had the financial resources to purchase an island resort in the South Pacific - but he failed to support his children. Today's guilty plea marks an important chapter in the state's lengthy effort to hold Troy Neel accountable for violating the law."
Attorney General Abbott added, "We are grateful to the Dallas Regional Office of the Department of Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas and the U.S. Marshal's Office for their tremendous assistance with this case." Federal agents arrested Neel last December at the Los Angeles International Airport as he exited a flight from Sydney, Australia.
The arrest reflected an eight year long joint state-federal effort to bring Neel into custody. Neel played football at Texas A&M University from 1984 to 1985 and played professional baseball for the Oakland Athletics from 1992 to 1994. Later, Neel also played for professional baseball clubs in Japan and Korea. In 1998, Neel was ordered to pay $5,000 a month in child support for the care of his son and daughter.
The court order was based upon Neel's earnings as a professional athlete. After retiring from professional sports, Neel purchased a resort island in the Republic of Vanuatu, where he has resided since 2000. On March 2, 2005, a San Antonio-based federal grand jury indicted Neel. The non-support charge stems from Neel's foreign travel in an effort to avoid paying child support since December 1998.

Can I use millet flour as a substitute for almond flour.? I usually use coconut or sunflower seed flour, but I currently have no access to either of the products.
Nut & alternative grain flours are totally icing on the proverbial paleo cake. Their only advantage is that they are gluten-free. If that's your primary concern, then go for it.

David Odess has prices on his website for CLA's. Other vendors are probably similar. Without looking it up, the cost is roughly $200.00 for each component.
The back is probably the least likely to need service, and the lens/shutter perhaps the most likely, especially for a C series lens.
Since you are in the west, some folks have recommended Samy's camera in L.A. as a good repair source, they have a Hasselblad trained tech on staff, so I understand.
Also in the west is Steve Choi at Steve's Camera Repair in Culver City CA.
I put together just such a kit from KEH years ago for around $500 (w/ the old style back) and had excellent results w/ it. The 'blad did not suit my style of shooting, but I appreciated the camera, once I figured out all of the interlocks! Mine had the old focus screen w/ the circle spot in the middle and I liked it just fine (I'm 62 and wear bifocals). My chrome 80 Planar was not as sharp as the Rolleiflex cameras I was used to, but it was plenty sharp enough, and had a nice way of imaging. I even tried a reflex prism in an attempt to shoot it like a 35mm camera and it was a lot of fun, although a side grip would have really helped. One thing to mention is that these cameras get a LOT more attention on the street than a TLR.
You will do well to start w/ the camera and lens that you stated, and I always recommend KEH for just about anything photographic. These are old cameras, but I've had good results just shooting them w/o an expensive CLA or anything, knock on wood.
The testers Alan mentioned are very good, but I make do w/ a $40 one and it's on the money. If you have the time you can bracket, keep notes, and figure it out w/o a tester, but that's not necessarily a lot of fun.
While I'm actively pursuing my 500C/M setup, questions regarding filters suddenly surfaced in my cranium. Accordingly, I'm looking for a continuation of the sage counsel given thus far.
As I intend to shoot black and white film exclusively, I wondered what filters are recommended?
Does Hasselblad have a unique method of attaching filters?
Again, thanks in advance for the help.
If I was buying a Hasselblad again, I would skip KEH and go straight to http://www.david-odess.com/
A polarizer is very handy to have.
The more I use my Blad the more comfortable I'm becoming with it. For practice I chase my dogs in the yard with it. I'm getting used to the long focus throw and focusing with the flip up magnifier. A left hand grip made handling easier, I was always afraid of dropping it before. I'll likely pick up a PME prism which should make chasing the dogs easier. I like the ability to configure the system for whatever I'm going to shoot, and the optics are excellent. It is my most used system, at the moment.

Video: Willy Foote of Root Capital at TEDxBYU
Since TEDGlobal took place this week, it is only appropriate to share a TED Talk relevant to social finance for this week's Video of the Week. Willy Foote, founder and CEO of Roote Capital, took the stage at TEDxBYU, hosted at Brigham Young University in Utah in February. In this inspiring talk, he described the importance of supporting agriculture by filling "the Missing Middle" (the segment of capital that is too small for traditional institutional investment, yet too large for microfinance). He also talked about how creating social change does not necessarily entail deep social innovation, one of many things he learned in his experience of forming Root Capital.
Root Capital (profiled at SocialFinance.ca) is a nonprofit social investment fund that is pioneering finance for grassroots businesses in rural areas of developing countries. It provides capital, delivers financial training, and strengthens market connections for small and growing businesses that build sustainable livelihoods and transform rural communities in poor, environmentally vulnerable places.
We invite you to share your thoughts about this video below. How does this fit with your work? Are there any inspiring stories of your own that you would like to share? Please let us know!
