Kevin Perry will discuss the postproduction process on the Art of Flight, the 2011 epic snowboarding documentary featuring Travis Rice. Dolby collaborated with Brain Farm Digital Cinema and Red Bull, utilizing some of the best-of-the-best creative assets of the Bay Area to finish this film, shot on everything from GoPro Hero and 7D to Phantom and CineFlex, to finish and master a 1080p Blu-Ray and Digital Cinema master with 7.1 sound for worldwide exhibition.
 
John will explain and demo Atmos, Dolby's powerfully-immersive new listening experience with more natural, realistic cinema sound that envelops the audience and allows them to hear the whole picture, while allowing for more powerful storytelling by giving content creators unprecedented control of the placement and movement of sound within the movie theatre.

Kevin Perry's background is in recording engineering and video/film post-production. His current duties include developing workflows for production, encoding for digital delivery, system design and integration of new rooms and equipment, and digital cinema mastering.
 
John Loose is a leading authority on 7.1 channel high-resolution audio production. His conservatory education in percussion and background in game audio have given him the skill to edit, mix, master, and encode hundreds of video and film projects in stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and beyond for Dolby, including such diverse artists as the San Francisco Symphony, Wilco, and B.o.B. A long-time Pro Tools mixer, he also contributed the surround section of the ìPro Tools Overdriveî instructional handbook.
