Breaking Old Silos with Virtualized Prep
Traditional approaches to prep have changed little since The Great Train Robbery in 1903. Today, tools developed for VFX and Virtual Production are opening the door for productions of all types to reimagine their approach to prep and realize substantial efficiencies by merging the once separate steps of creative and technical planning. Local 600 Directors of Photography Bruce McCleery, ASC, and Mark Weingartner, ASC, discuss how they're using these techniques to see problems before they occur, the impact of having more specialists on prep teams, and what a cinematographer's deep imaging experience brings to the dialogue. Discover the practical impact on crewing, scheduling and safety.
Panelists: Bruce McCleery, ASC, Director of Photography, Mark Weingartner, ASC, Director of Photography, Additional Panelists TBD
Moderator: Michael Chambliss, ICG IATSE Local 600 Asst. Western Region Director/ Production Tech Specialist
