| Colour Correction & Grading night with Dan PrincipeMaster grader, Dan Principe, will take members through the difference between colour correction and colour grading and what he does. He'll cover off how he prefers to work / how he think things should work (workflow / pipeline) versus how they usually work. Show us before and after examples and talk through the process, using examples from clients such as TV (Panda / Danger 5 working to a brief) and TVC's. Dan will also discuss the perceived / real differences of working with an ad agency versus creative (music videos, feature drama/short films). He'll discuss common issues / interesting problems that have come up and how to deliver an image most suitable for a colourist to work with. Compare flexibility / versatility of lower end footage (GoPro, 5D3) to higher end (Alexa, Red, Blackmagic) and how much the specs really matter. This promises to be a great, educational night so RSVP soon for Monday April 20 @ 1830 for 1845 start at RSP presidentsa@austcine.org.au Please enter RSP via rear gate, see attached map for directions. ACS members free, AADC members $20, RSVP & AADC members pay via http://www.trybooking.com/HLYC Drinks provided.
Legal Issues & D.A.V.E. wrap up
Well our Legal Issues & D.A.V.E. night was a success. Anna Jackson a partner from HWL Ebsworth gave a great presentation on what we can and can't do and she graciously answered the many questions from the gathered throng. If you missed it it's a shame as it was great session.
Dave Birrell demonstrated D.A.V.E. (his mobile DIT workstation) and again there was heaps of interest and all this topped off with a bit of pizza and a drink. Tickets to the ACS National Awards in May at Mona in Hobart on May 2 are booked out so I hope you got in early. If you are thinking of submitting for Accreditation it might be time to start getting your stuff together soon as submissions are only accepted in the month of July.

ProAV Solutions Opening Invite & NAB HighlightsOn Daniel Charlton's return from NAB he will be hosting an event at Pro AV Solutions covering whats new and what to look out for during the upcoming year. This event will be on Thursday April 23rd starting at 6pm and running until late, as it will also be the unofficial opening of the new office. The presentation will start @ 6.30 and all ACS members are welcome and ProAv Solutions will provide food and beverages for the evening too! Please RSVP to Daniel to daniel.c@proavsolutions-sa.com.au Profile ACS member & Gold Sponsor Kym Rogers
This is opportune since ProAV Solutions are having their opening event really soon. Kym I believe a lot of people think you are Canadian, is that correct? So Kym how'd you make a living in Canada? A few years later when I opened my own store, Sound Advice Audio, I specialised in the cutting-edge equipment of the day: valve amps, electrostatic speakers, and turntables. Over time, I diversified my business ventures to pursue other emerging technologies; I opened a video rental libraryBetamax only, of courseand later moved into satellite dishes and laser discs. In the early 80s, I also founded the city's first music store that only sold Compact Discsthough, the selection was admittedly pretty limited.
I hear you gave acting a nudge, please tell us more. A few years later, a former employee offered to buy my Hi-Fi business, and I decided it was time to bring my new bride, Carole the Canadian, back home to Adelaide. So now back in Adelaide where did you land? Tell us about Pro AV Solutions?
Working each day with equipment that's constantly improving, and an endless stream of new gadgets helps to keeps the job interesting. But, I think it is the people that I deal with that make my work so enjoyable. They're a highly creative, intelligent bunch who are fun to be around. I also get a lot of satisfaction from helping out younger filmmakers and seeing the great work they can produce. I've been involved in supporting young talent for a number of years, through local film schools, the ACS Awards, SASA, and a few Indigenous film awards in the Northern Territory. Im also very proud of the next generation here at Pro AV: they're a dedicated team of people that share my love of the industry.
Another side of Pro AV Solutions that our ACS friends may not know too much about is the corporate AV side of the company. This division is where the majority of the 35 staff work. A few years ago Pro AV Solutions formed a alliance with 4 other businesses in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and WA and those companies now trade as Pro AV Solutions in their states. As a group we jointly work on large national projects that require system design and installation across the country. There are 200 staff all up and projects we work on include national video conferencing systems, large video / audio exhibition spaces, boardrooms, lecture theatres and more. The new Adelaide Oval redevelopment has 1000 Sony commercial LCD screens installed by Pro AV Solutions SA as well as large 25 screen video walls.
Kym what's your favourite film? What's other interests do you have? I can't agree more, particularly the wine! I think Adelaide is very lucky to have you here Kym and on behalf of the ACS SA branch members can I thank you and your team for being a loyal Gold Sponsor for so many years. We really appreciate the support. If you know someone who should be profiled please email SA Pres presidentsa@austcine.org.au Motion Picture Industry Benevolent Society
Dear Industry Colleague, This has been my seventeenth year as Chairman of the Motion Picture Industry Benevolent Society, and during that time I am pleased to be able to report that I have overseen just on $1.625 million dispensed in direct financial aid to assist with the costs related to maintaining daily living standards, as well as contributions to the costs of funerals, to a significant number of retired and present members of our industry who have experienced, and continue to experience, difficult times.
