An Australian production house is the first local production company to have a pilot commissioned by MTV International.
The Feds has created a reality show, currently with the working title The In Crowd about people trying to break into a sub-culture or scene that they’ve always wanted to.
The pilot, shot in Sydney, will follow two people, a wannabe magician and a girl trying out on a roller derby team.
Should the pilot be picked up for a series, the shoot will go international to follow different hopefuls as they try to crack the Texan rodeo clown school, skateboarders in Los Angeles, and debutants in London.
Lisa Gray, head of content for The Feds told Encore: “We’re really enjoying this show and its the type of programming we’d like to work on in the future. Making it for a global audience is exciting. Hopefully it means more opportunities like this.

David Booth, VFX supervisor on Sanctum, discusses the challenges of shooting both in caves and underwater, while doing it all in stereoscopic 3D.
I was involved from pre-production right through to final VFX delivery, which gave me latitude in how the sets were prepared and what requirements were necessary for post. With most of the shots in darkness, we had to adjust our lighting to cover exposure for the green screens and also the foreground images. This enabled better keying and gave us a better range for grade matching.
In terms of visual effects, we needed to add, extend, or completely replace environments to look exactly the same as those shot on set and locations. We employed the talents of Iloura to undertake the 200+ VFX shots, with the company adding to the environments and also taking on a few extra special shots; all CG cave environments required rock structures that...

Arjuna, a regular reader and frequent commenter, emailed in with an editorial idea as a follow-up to my "Will You Pay to Upgrade to a 3D TV?" post wondering how much 3D has affected film piracy.
The question as Hollywood appears to be turning to 3D for more and more of their blockbuster releases, many of which are being converted from 2D to 3D such as the recently released Alice in Wonderland and the upcoming Clash of the Titans. However, to this point very few of these films were actually shot in 3D, which means the experience will likely differ from one film to the next, or at least that is the assumed logic from one to the next.
Outside of CG-animated films, which are already in 3D and for many years were actually just flattened for 2D releases, Avatar is the first (and really only) film that comes to...
