Prince of Persia Costume Designer's trade secret: A cement mixer
Thursday, May 27 by Julie Brown
A nondescript street in a Marrakesh neighborhood known as the Zone Industrielle has a building that could be a warehouse or factory. But in the months leading up to the filming of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” and during the duration of its Morocco
shoot, this building was a dream factory, housing a small army of cutters, costumers, cobblers, seamstresses, milliners, dyers, armorers and artisans, all working under the supervision of costume designer Penny Rose.
“There’s no one in her field like Penny,” says producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who enlisted her for the entire “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy. “Her attention to detail almost defies description, and her ability to find the exact right costumes to define characters is fantastic. Penny can organize anything, anywhere in the world. She’s a tough taskmaster, but we love her artistry.”

Friday, May 7 by Julie Brown
Take a look behind the scenes at the business behind the big screen in this popular case study designed for HSC Business Studies students.
The program was developed in repsonse to demand from teachers for an up to the minute case study for business studies that students could identify with.

The IMAX Theatre Sydney business story is a very interesting one, dating back to 1996 when the theatre opened with fanfare as the world's biggest screen.
