ACS QUEENSLAND PRESENTS
 

Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) and Griffith Film School (GFS) are proud to partner with ARRI Australia and Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival for the staging of the Outback Cinematography Masterclass 2020 in Winton, outback western Queensland. This Masterclass will attract cinematographers not only from Queensland, but also across Australia and internationally.

We are delighted to announce the guest master cinematographer is the acclaimed Oscar nominated Don McAlpine ACS ASC. Click the link below to read the achievements of this Hall of Fame inductee!

The Outback Cinematography Masterclass 2020 will focus on working in HDR and on large format sensors. Daily rushes will be graded in HDR by the highly experienced colourist Warren Eagles and screened in Winton’s specially set-up theatrette with HDR monitors. This is a deeply immersive Masterclass journey into working with the expanded colour palette and contrast range afforded by HDR whilst shooting in the spacious real estate of LF sensors.

Places will be limited. Stay tuned for details as they come to hand.

For those wanting to make or further their career in grading, or creatives and technicians who would benefit from the wealth of knowledge on offer, Warren Eagles' RG180 Intermediate Resolve Techniques workshop! From knowing what nodes to use to match shots to basic resolve editing and conforming from XML imports, this ICA workshop is a weekend intensive that looks to up participant's colouring game to a whole new level - and to make these techniques more accessible to those who need it, all ACS and ASE members, as well as those studying Film and TV, will receive a 20% discount.

Mick Fanning, member of the ACS Committee, is organising an exclusive one-time-only screening of The Camino Voyage, an award winning documentary on a diverse group of Irishmen determined to recreate the traditionally pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella from Ireland in a naomhóg. More information on this fascinating subject can be found at the link below.

This event is organised as a part of Demand Film's line-up of diverse and traditionally-impossible-to-distribute films. As such, this event requires a minimum of 46 tickets purchased for this film to be financially viable to screen. Assuming these tickets are purchased, the event will take place on the 1st of April at 6:30pm. Tickets are $22.00 with a $1.95 booking fee.

Whether you're going to Melbourne or Munich, the last thing you need is being held in a headlock with your hands ziptied behind your back. It's common knowledge that airlines restrict large lithium-ion batteries, but with Qantas and Virgin updating their Dangerous Goods guidelines over the new year, we thought it might be good to turn that general knowledge into specific knowledge!

Please note that while these guidelines are up to date as of the time of writing, you should always do your own research before travelling - especially to foreign destinations with their own jurisdiction - so you're completely certain you're not breaking any laws. If you're particularly unsure, you should contact your airline or travel agent for more information.
