An Introduction to FreeFly?s MoVI Stabilization System
This four-hour crash course is an intensive, hands-on class designed to fully immerse an experienced camera operator on the core principals of the Freefly MōVI. AbelCine and Freefly instructors will discuss and demonstrate the technical aspects and basic fundamentals of operating the MōVI system. You’ll be able to get your hands on the M5, M10, M15 and the various accessories used for a successful shoot.

3pm – 6pm

Monitor Calibration for the Digital Technician
To truly judge your image on set and in post, it is necessary to have a properly calibrated monitor. From a small on-camera LCD screen to large home displays, most monitors offer some form of calibration adjustment. This three hour workshop demonstrates the methods and tools used to calibrate various display types. Focus will be on white point adjustment, color & contrast adjustment, and the software and hardware used to analyze and calibrate a monitor.

10am – 1pm

Using Small & Large Sensor Camera Systems in Today?s Productions
With today’s large sensor digital cinema cameras such as the Canon EOS C100 & C300 it would almost seem like small sensor based camcorders are irrelevant in today’s production environments. However, in this session, Jem Schofield of theC47 will discuss various applications when using cameras like new Canon XA25 and XF205 are actually better suited for the job. He will also cover A&B camera setups and using both small and large sensor camera systems together.
