Kneece also worked as the main camera operator on the Foo Fighters most recent concert which was shown live in 3D in over 80 theaters across the US back on April 5th. Jeb JOHENNING, and son Jimmy JOHENNING will be giving a brief demonstration at our workshop of the Brainstorm/Qtake HD 3D Video Assist system, followed by a comparative look at the workflows used by his son on the Pirates 3D film vs. what's being used on the Spiderman 3D film. In 1994, Jeb Johenning, an industrial designer, and Richard Goodman, an award winning production sound mixer, created the first company in the film industry that specialized in the emerging technology of Digital Video Assist. What is now standard practice on nearly every film production, was pioneered by Ocean Video in feature films such as “The Matrix” and “Alien Resurrection” Today, Ocean Video leads the industry with cutting edge solutions for every type of video and film production including 3D digital cinema. Most recently, Jeb has created world-class 3D video assist systems to support 3D filming of "Pirates of Caribbean" and "The Amazing Spiderman."
