CITY TV 10 Producers Move To The Big Screen
Two
CITY TV 10 video producers have moved from the TV screen to the
movie screen.
Zlatko Cosic, a part time video
producer for the Communication Division, had two films shown in
this year’s St.
Louis Filmmakers Showcase. He was the producer, together
with Paul
Guzzardo, and editor of “buildbetterbarrel:
nine events in new media” and the producer, director
and editor of “The
Capsule”, an experimental documentary.
Anthony Mueller, CITY TV 10
Video Production Specialist, was an assistant editor on “Ghost
Image,” a psychological thriller featuring Hollywood
talent that was shot in St. Louis.
Cosic’s
“buildbetterbarrel:
nine events in new media” is a series of short vignettes
that trace the media heritage and folklore of St. Louis. Backdrops
include Cahokia Mounds, the Chicago lakefront, the Pulitzer Foundation
for the Arts, and a street front media lab that operated on September
11, 2001.
It
remembers St. Louis’s Marshall McLuhan and Father Walter Ong.
And it considers why McLuhan and Ong were the first “to hear”
how electronic media would turn streets into stages for storytellers
and myth builders. The documentary is also an epilogue to another
story, another myth - one about Josephine Baker, Walter Winchell
and J. Edgar Hoover.
“The
Capsule” is a two minute visual documentary about
an unusual medical treatment.
Both of his movies were shown July 24 at the
Tivoli Theatre.
Cosic has worked part time for CITY TV 10 since
2002. He owns his own production company and also designs and
puts Newsgram online.
Zlatko Cosic has had a busy summer. Read more

Anthony
Mueller worked on “Ghost
Image” in post-production as the assistant editor,
the visual effects supervisor and a compositor.
“The assistant editor helps the real editor by
doing a large part of the grunt work, such as digitizing footage,
organizing the project, syncing audio to film, and anything else
that allows the editor to concentrate on the creative editing
rather than the busy work. Visual effects are effects 
that
are done in post production (special effects are done on set or
in camera)... this leads me to compositing, which is basically
combining two or more layers of film to make one image. I also
did the credits,” Mueller said.
He met the director, Jack Snyder
about five years ago, when he cleaned up some footage that he
shot with a dirty lens.
Mueller has worked for CITY TV 10 as a Video
Production Specialist for almost 4 years and have been full time
since November 2005. He was an intern in 2001.
