The force is with the moving image Many moving images and a little bit of Star Wars at photokina: the MOTION STAGE in hall 5.2 makes it possible and will, in addition to many technical novelties of the exhibitors in the moving images segment, form the linchpin for professional filmmakers, video enthusiasts and hobby filmers at photokina 2016. At the VLOG CON on 24 September, the director of Darth Maul: Apprentice, among others, reveals how this no budget production became a viral hit.
The moving image continues to boom, on all channels: 400 hours of video material was uploaded every minute on average on YouTube. Germans spent 223 minutes each day in front of the television and watched 4.5 films on the big screen in the cinema (Source: Statistisches Bundesamt (Federal Statistical Office). Many consumers have long since become producers: easy access to high quality and nonetheless affordable cameras and editing programmes makes it easy for both amateurs and pros to record videos and present them attractively.
Tips from the pro
That this is even possible with the smartphone is shown by Pavel Kaplun on all days of the trade fair at his stand in hall 9: Photograph and film like a pro - with the smartphone is the name of the workshop that provides simple tips for also making good photos and videos with the smartphone. Pavel Kaplun is one of Germanys leading photo artists and is known for his complex, surreal compositions and his artistic travel photography. Pavel Kaplun is represented throughout photokina with a special action area in hall 9, in which, among other things, a variety of sets are available, which visitors can photograph with their smartphone and with competent instruction to achieve top results. In his open film studio, Pavel Kaplun shows how anyone can produce short films with the simplest means that get noticed and inspire.

Also represented at the VLOG CON: AlexiBexi, who recently produced the video series The World of Cameras together with photokina, which can be seen on the YouTube channel of photokina: www.youtube.com/photokinamesse
The web video artist with nearly a million subscribers on YouTube knows what the channel lives from: namely, to a certain extent from professional productions that have appropriate companies and budgets, and thus the corresponding equipment at their disposal. However, the rest lives from experimentation, from the comprehension, usage and combination of available things that dont cost countless thousands of Euros and at the same time have a personal or inspiring value for users.
