REQUEST to ACS Members from the The IMAGO Technical Committee
Dear Colleagues,
The IMAGO Technical Committee is laying down a great amount of work with the aim to influence camera manufacturers to make the design of menus and cameras to optimally suit cinematographer´s daily needs.
Therefore, we launched a Survey earlier this year, asking all IMAGO members to fill out the Survey. 12% have already answered, to whom we are very grateful, but we need answers from a greater number of our members to be able to conclude how our work and collaboration with manufacturers best can proceed. Therefore, we today relaunch the survey, and I hope those of you who have not yet answered will take the time to answer.
By filling out this survey, IMAGO will have a most valuable platform from which we with manufacturers can discuss and find solutions on subjects of importance for us all.
I thank you for your kind help.
Best regards,
Paul René Roestad
President IMAGO
