SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
SATURDAY
MAIN THEATER
9:30 - 10:30 AM Introduction to Hybrid Shooting and VCS with Michael Britt
• Michael will provide an overview of the collision of stills and video including a look at the new equipment and technologies available to help photographers transition to shooting video with hybrid cameras. He will be presenting the Redrock Micro Image Mechanics VCS kit which allows photographers to shoot in vertical orientation (preferred format for print publications) while delivering video snippets to their clients. "The goal should be to provide some movement and sound to our print clients for their websites and other electronic media, not to try and deliver Citizen Kane." Skyscraper banner ads, digital signage, iPhone video and web video in general, have broken the constraints of the horizontal platform imposed originally by tube televisions and theater projectors opening up interesting opportunities for visual artists.

5:30 - 6:30 PM Keynote Address - by Shane Hurlbut ASC -Catch The Wave: How Still Photography Changes The Way We Make Movies
• Shane Hurlbut will provide a stimulating, interactive discussion about the Canon 5D Mark II camera and how it changes the way movies are being made. Hurlbut refers to this camera as a “game changer” because of its versatility. Important features include: compact nature of the camera itself, lighter still lenses, image stabilizing ability, and flexibility to accent the action in new ways with increased depth and sharpness. The camera gives a cinematographer the ability to capture shots spontaneously with an unprecedented depth of field. It’s greatest benefit is the small footprint: a compact, lightweight camera that travels easily, grabs stealth shots with amazing resolution, requires a smaller crew, works well with a minimal budget, yet provides unlimited creativity!
