The Center for Communication
October 19, 2008 by Bill Sobel · Leave a Comment
I am a huge fan of the Center for Communication, an independent media forum, launched in 1980 by former CBS president Dr. Frank Stanton and Museum of TV & Radio president, the late Dr. Robert Batscha, to bridge the gap between the communications industry and schools.

FRONTLINE ON PBS Oct 14th “The Choice 2008″
October 12, 2008 by Bill Sobel · 1 Comment
For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of FRONTLINE on PBS. Since 1983, FRONTLINE has served as American public television’s flagship public affairs series. Hailed upon its debut on PBS as “the last best hope for broadcast documentaries,” according to Newsday, FRONTLINE’s stature over 25 seasons is reaffirmed each week through incisive documentaries covering the scope and complexity of the human experience, and this weeks episode “The Choice 2008″ is no exception.
Obama vs McCain; Red States vs Blue States: It is one of the most memorable presidential elections in decades. It is a race that pits the iconoclast John McCain against the newcomer Barack Obama; the heroic former prisoner of war against the first African American major party nominee. For two hours, the 20th anniversary broadcast of The Choice examines the rich personal and political biographies of these men and goes behind the headlines to discover how they arrived at this moment and what their very different candidacies say about America.
Watch The Choice 2008 on air and streaming free online beginning Tuesday, October 14, at 9 pm on PBS. Also, please check local listings for national television rebroadcasts on Sunday, October 26 and Monday, November 3, 2008.
Shoot 3D at the Beach: This Sunday Oct 12th
October 10, 2008 by Bill Sobel · Leave a Comment
For those of you who attended our event back in May all about Immersive 3-D video will certainly remember my longtime friend from the panel, Jerry (Gerald) Marks of PullTime3D Laboratories.
Jerry is an artist working along the border joining Art and Science. This means more than just technological innovation or use of technology. Far more important is the content emphasis on perception, knowing and questioning. Marks has a philosophy about art that influences all of his work. He wants people to question what they see. he wants them to think about the role time and space play in our perceptions. His visual illusions are his invitation for people to probe. It is his special hope that his work will inspire young people today and in the future to inquire about the way they see the world. Read more
