The Vic/Tas Awards for Cinematography are just a few weeks away. Good luck to all Tasmanian members who've entered. Don't forget to book a ticket if you intend to be there. It's always a fantastic night and great way to celebrate some outstanding technical and creative cinematographic achievements across all genres.
Of course these Awards would not be possible without the backing of some generous sponsors. Once again TT Line and the Federal Group have offered up a fantastic major door prize - a luxury return trip for two aboard the Spirit of Tasmania (with car included) and accommodation at the brand new and spectacular luxury hotel Macq01 in Hobart awaits the lucky winner! Thanks to ACS Tas stalwart Robert Heazlewood for making this happen.

A couple of weeks ago local ACS member Damon Heather discussed his recent adventures filming a documentary on the Canning Stock Route. Over a dozen ACS Tasmania members, enjoyed a drink and some pizzas while Damon described the varied and many challenges he and a very small team faced as they drove a 1975 short wheelbase Series II Land Rover 4WD north from Kalgoorlie towards Halls Creek in the Northern Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Damon's understated and pithy delivery kept us amused, amazed and impressed as did the stunning short preview video clip he put together for us. Using a range of cameras, including RED Epic MX, Panasonic G7, GoPro Hero 5and a DJI Mavic Pro drone, Damon certainly captured the wild beauty of the area, as well as the difficulties of driving along the challenging track. Thanks Damon for sharing some of the 'highlights' and 'lowlights' of the hot and dusty journey. We look forward to seeing the final product when it goes online. No doubt there will be some serious Land Rover fans around the world who are going to love seeing what transpired in the middle of Australia's wildest desert region.
Congratulations to ACS Tasmania member Pawel Achtel who was one of eight ACS members across the country to be granted ACS Accreditation at the recent judging screenings held the ACS HQ in Sydney.
This is well deserved recognition for Pawel's amazing technical and creative achievements in the specialised area of underwater cinematography. It was great to see Pawel's work stun the judging panel, some of whom had never seen a frame of it before. We are very proud of you Pawel!
Pawel joins a list of a dozen Tasmanian members recognised with ACS Accreditation stretching right back to 1976.
