MOTION CAPTURE Mixer/Program On September 1st, Motus Digital hosted a DPA mixer/program on motion capture/animation. Iron Dragon Productions and Fighting Stunts Association performed several live-action demonstrations in martial arts for the audience. While everyone was entertained by the martial arts action, Motus Digital's team turned the performance into a real-time previsualization and provided an enlightening motion capture demonstration. At the meeting, DPA Members picked up their FREE Texas Incentive DVD. A presentation on the new Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program by Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas Film Commission has been combined with Texas Incentive documents and website addresses on this DVD. It is an excellent source of information on the Incentive Program, what types of productions qualify, how to apply for incentives, and much more. The DVD was made possible by the generous efforts of Studios 121 and Replicopy. If DPA members were unable to attend the meeting, there is still an opportunity to receive a free DVD at upcoming meetings and events and at the DPA offices. Visit our Sponsors at:

A
packed house was on hand Tuesday, July 7, at Studios 121, for
an informational meeting with Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas
Film Commission. Bob discussed the new Texas Moving Image Industry
Incentive Program with local producers and answered questions
about how to apply. On April 23, 2009, Governor Rick Perry signed
HB 873 which established a new and improved incentive program
for media production in Texas. This new bill increases the amount
of funding that feature films, television programs, video games
and stand-alone post-production/finishing projects can receive.
It also lowers the minimum budgetary requirements so that the
program allows for local productions, such as commercials, industrials
and even independent films to apply.
