DOC Lab 2011

DOC Lab 2011
in association with CoLab

CoLab is proud to have been associated and supported the Doc Lab 2011,an incubator for cross-media documentary projects, which was held at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), last weekend.

Eleven teams attended the 3-day Lab led by Wendy Levy of BAVC (The Producer’s Institute, USA).
The mentors were:
    * Alexandre O Philippe, USA
    * James Franklin, NZ/UK
    * Jennifer Wilson, AUS
    * Daniel Cremak-Sassenrath (CoLab expert in Gaming and new media), NZ >
               and
    * Laurent Antonczak (CoLab - MoTec), NZ >

Together, they introduced, discussed, developed and worked on diverse cross platforms with the selected teams.

This was a significant opportunity for teams who recognize the urgency in developing new prototypes for content creation and delivery so as to fully maximize the potential of their projects as well as to compete internationally. CoLab is proud of the standards and interest of the final project's presentation which came out of 2011's Doc Lab.

CoLab is also proud to support the Documentary Edge Forum which was held during the weekend at Auckland University of Technology (AUT).

The Forum is the largest documentary industry event of the year and it will ran for 3 days. The DOC Pitch 2011 brings together our 19 panellists representing top funders and decision makers as 11 teams pitch their projects to them.
Master-classes by trailer director maestro James Brookman, internationally acclaimed cinematographer Tom Burstyn and social community/marketing expert James Franklin combine with mini workshops of 3D and cost effective effects and thought provoking panels on co-productions, documentaries and activism, TV formats, the changing face of documentary to name a few.
