HOW TO CREATE ARTFUL MOVIES ON BUDGET --- THE EFFECTS
OF NEW TECHNOLOGY ON CINEMATOGRAPHY presented by the American
Society of Cinematographers
World-class cinematographers will
discuss the role they play in the constantly evolving
collaborative art of visual storytelling. They will talk
about their experiences with new film and hybrid postproduction
technologies that are opening frontiers for creating artful
movies for both the cinema and television. Chances are
they will also shatter some myths propagated by technology
vendors. Most important: They will answer questions that
you didn't know you had.
