Subject: unwigged & unplugged Прошу помочь в переводе названия одного из семинаров на конференции IBC (http://www.ibc.org/page.cfm/action=Seminars/SeminarID=143/t=m/nocache=true).Keeping a straight face: The making of ‘unwigged & unplugged’ - Spinal Tap’s 25th anniversary movie Speakers: Jim Gabour, Writer/ Producer/ Director, Jim Gabour Moving Pictures, U S A, Harry Shearer, Actor, author, director, satirist, musician, radio host, playwright, multi-media artist and record label owner, U S ASession Details: Like many cult movies, This is Spinal Tap did not wow initial cinema audiences released back in 1984. It was only when it went to video that the documentary style and sharp humour of a rock band on tour triggered a rare level of fan worship that is now further fuelled by the web. The 25th anniversary is being marked by a new film, unwigged & unplugged, featuring the three original members Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer. In what is sure to be one of this year’s highlights, IBC is welcoming not just producer/director Jim Gabour but also one of the stars, Harry Shearer. Not just a founder member of the most famous spoof rock band ever, Shearer is now the voice behind many of the characters of the most successful television animation ever, The Simpsons. Most of it was shot in Milwaukee on the last gig of Spinal Tap’s recent three-month tour. Gabour used eight high definition cameras – all the theatre would allow – and finished the film and audio remix at Crawford Communications in Atlanta, while the band was on the UK leg of its tour. “Everything is a complete send-up done with a totally straight face,” Gabour said. This masterclass is a unique chance to hear from an actor as well as the producer and director on the challenges of complementing a cult classic. Given that this is likely to be a lot of fun as well as very informative, seats for this session are going to be in demand, so be there in plenty of time.
