Taking place at 20:30pm on Tuesday November 14th, CKK Jordanki Seminar Room, this unmissable session will provide crucial insight into the importance of look-creation and look-management through the lifecycle of a project – from prep to final post production,
and beyond.

Moderated by senior colourist/lecturer Dirk Meier BVK CSI, Yedlin and Wegner will be joined during the session by French DP Pascale Marin AFC and colourist Kevin Shaw CSI, president of the Colorist Society.
Developments in camera technology, lighting, LED volumes and post production mean that cinematographers now have more opportunities and choices than ever before in how they create and manipulate moving images for visual storytelling. Understanding the landscape and the impact of when, and when not, to exercise those opportunities and choices is of vital importance to cinematographers.

At Camerimage 2015 Steve Yedlin ASC (Glass Onion, Knives Out, Star Wars Vol 8) presented his display preparation demo in an effort to end the debate about the look of a specific digital camera. Instead, he demonstrated that high-end digital cinematography cameras can capture enough information to create all kinds of looks, including the emulation of photo-chemical filmstocks.

Joining live from L.A. Yedlin will discuss the situation in cinematography eight years after this demo, and will clarify his approach to categorising the image attributes that describe the look of an image, whilst also speaking about his personal approach to preparing and finishing a project.

Ari Wegner ACS ASC (Zola, The Power Of The Dog, Drive-Away Dolls), joining live from Melbourne, together with Pascale Marin AFC on-stage, will also give precious insight into how they create and manage the look of their work, as part of a wider panel discussion that will also cover technological developments such as in-camera texture application, higher-resolution/dynamic range capture, virtual production, and the importance of preparing and communicating the intended look of a project.
