Ben Nott ACS - Q&A on Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan
On the 14th October, Ben Nott ACS took a few hours out of his busy schedule to chat to an eager crowd of members, guests and aspiring cinematography students at Griffith Film School about what went into making a $40m war epic in Queensland. Amongst the carnage and mayhem, Ben was able to highlight his creative and pragmatic solutions to all the regular problems that arise when filming at this scale, all the way from camera and lens choices, to practical and computer-generated effects, and even to how he got such a large volume of shots with the use of a gimbal and a rickshaw! This immensely popular event would not have been possible without the generosity Griffith Film School for the use of their venue and projection system, as well as Ben for going the distance to provide his insight.
