This session will be about repertoire, resources, and techniques to incorporate film in concert. Through the discussion of several completed projects incorporating film with concert music, we will explore current repertoire that utilizes film and the techniques to sync the film with the performing ensemble. We will discuss different sync technologies and propose new ideas for utilizing film in the future.
