The International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE, ICG Local 600) will host a production panel at the Virtual Reality Trade Show and Conference (VRLA) on Friday, April 14, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. (Time TBD) The session, which is part of the VRLA's professional programming, will be moderated by Michael Chambliss, a technology specialist and ICG business representative whose main focus is on production technologies impacting directors of photography and their camera crews for both film and television.
Eve M Cohen, Andrew Cochran, Andrew Shulkind, Michael Chambliss, Dane Brehm, Evan Pesses
Steven Poster ASC, National President of the ICG said, The VR world brings new and exciting ways of seeing the world. It also brings a sharper learning curve into the lives of the entire camera department which is why the ICG invests in training. As creatives, it is important for our craft that we stay ahead of the curve, expand the curve, and be a part of the conversation moving forward.
The Session Will Focus On Shooting Virtual Reality (VR) for Post
In live VR production, fixing it in post takes on a whole new dimension, impacting both the creative and technical decisions made on set. How does the Cinematographer collaborate with the Director to design shots and block action with the strengths and drawbacks of stitching algorithms in mind? How does the Cinematographer develop the look and manage color (with the DIT) in the absence of established color pipelines? What are some of the tips and tricks for shooting live action that will blend with 360-degree CG? What is the most effective way to design VR workflows from set to post?
This panel is focused on the practical aspects of VR production with leading VR filmmakers sharing how they combine innovation and years of experience to shoot the highest quality live action VR footage possible with today's technology.
Panel Participants include:
Dane Brehm, Digital Imaging Technician, ICG
Brehm has been trailblazing live action acquisition and workflows since 2003. His unique perspective on the Director of Photography's needs has helped him solve a wide range of workflow challenges on productions using modern array cameras.
