Profile: Mark Evans Cinematographer / Director / Location Manager / SA Branch Committee Member & Vice President
Mark lets begin with 3 easy ?s:
Well, I have been around for quite a while!! Started in TV at Channel 7, in the days before Colour!! Lots of live telly, game shows and kids TV. The first camera I operated was a Black and White tube monster with 4 x rotating lenses. You needed to rack a lens to change framing .after a bit of practice you could rack a lens and have it focused before the lens was in place. (see file pic above - and NO it is not Mark behind the camera!) I worked in 16mm for location work with a cinematographer named Roy Wooding. He was a real character using an old beat up CP16 and B&W Reversal film stock which was 100ASA I think. Then along came the video backpack camera, which was a bulky camera tethered to a reel to reel tape recorder that was carried separately. This was the start of shooting single camera TVCs with Gaffer Trevor Toune. This is still a few years before the first all-in-one video camera The Sony BetaCam. Went freelance wayback in 1980! Then taken under the wing of Mentor and Legend Milton Ingerson ACS where I learnt the finer points of lighting and framing from the Master .His teaching style was more yelling abuse when it was not to his liking! Worked as Director / DOP for a few Production Houses that have been and gone: Pro-Image, Great Southern Films, Network 8 .Since 1992 I have concentrated on Producing / Directing / DOPing along with Location Managing which was more of a stop gap for when things were quiet .Well it seems as if the quiet is more on going .Started with the feature Rabbit Proof Fence with numerous others along the way; working earlier this year on the David Michod Feature The Rover .with a small, basic crew of only 100 people! I have used and operated most of the new digital cameras, from the Alexa and Red, to the dreaded DSLR .which I used only a few weeks ago. I do not know why we bother trying to rig stills cameras to be film friendly .I had bits hanging everywhere, trying to see thru a make believe viewfinder! and forever checking to see if it was sharp .of course the cheaper the camera the smaller the crew so assistants were not part of the agenda!! And Mark, how did you come to be on the ACS SA branch committee? Way back in the 80s when Milton Ingerson, who was the SA President, told me to join! .I dont think he asked me? more like sign this. you are now a member! So from 1982 till now I have been associated or a Committee Member of the SA Branch. I also did my stint as President from 1988 to1990. I have been involved in putting together the Awards Reels for more years than I can remember and they are coming up again .but dont panic we will not have me as a live Presenter or Julia Jillard!! Mark, why are you still involved in the ACS? Good question .over all these years and with the Ghost of Milton still appearing at some of our Meetings! it has always simply been about the Craft of Cinematography. It is this Craft or Art that binds us together and the SA Branch has always had people that are passionate about keeping this together. With Mylene, JoAnne and you at the helm .just to name a few, we are still in very good hands and now with the young bloods stepping up I hope we have a strong branch of the Society that will continue for many years to come. Thanks Mark for agreeing to be interviewed and for your commitment and dedication to the SA branch for all these years. Well I wonder who well learn about next
till then, cheers from the Pres, Ernie Clark ACS.

We don't have a opening date just yet, but Werner has said NegLab will be up and running by late September or early October 2013 and processing services will include ECN 35mm & 16mm. So if you are one who has lamented the demise of the film labs there is only one way to keep NegLab (and Kodak or Fuji) going. SHOOT FILM whenever you can and have it processed in Australia. Unpaid Membership FeesIf you haven't paid your fees by this September 30, I am sorry, but we will have to close your membership file.

So if you wish to stay as a member you can pay by eft direct debit or visa, (the banking details are on the invoice) or via the website.
