Orbiter is a revolutionary, ultra bright LED light that is both tuneable and directional and based on ARRI’s latest SPECTRA six-colour light engine and LiOS operating system. Versatile enough to go from hard-edged circle to omni directional source via ARRI’s new QLM quick lighting mount, Orbiter integrates position, motion and colour sensors to deliver controllable light where you want it with an unmatched CRI white light integrity and X/Y colour accuracy.
 
The complete ARRI SkyPanel range will accompany Orbiter on the night and there will also be a complete Stellar/Skylink wireless system for fixture control. This is a night for cinematographers, gaffers, TV lighting directors, theatre and lighting designers, and photographers.

Invitation | Re:Frame - Audience Engagement in the Attention Economy
When: Wednesday 30 October, 6:00pm
Where: AFTRS, The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park

Audience is a buzzword again. But no longer is it just bums on seats (or eyeballs on screens)  – we’re talking data, demand and drivers; changes in a screen and broadcast industry that is coming to grips with ‘big data’ and human-centred design, that are likely to have a serious impact over the coming decades.
 
Our third Re:Frame event seeks to unearth new thinking and to consider questions about how new technologies, new platforms and new demands are changing the ways that we conceive and create content.  

What do these rapid and dramatic shifts mean for Australian creatives today? And what new challenges do we face? What opportunities arise from this fast moving, digitising and increasingly global marketplace for stories?
 
Featuring keynotes from ‘data whisperer’ Elisa Choy and ACMI’s experience guru Seb Chan, and a panel of industry innovators to chew over the implications for creative and business practices, join us to discuss the challenges and opportunities for Australian storytellers and audiences  in this volatile digital age - and continue the conversation over drinks and nibbles afterwards.
