Over the weekend of Nov 15 & 16 we staged I Like To Move It at the Docklands Studios
ACS Victoria and Tasmania was very proud to play host to 500 people who came through the I Like To Move It expo on the weekend of our Awards.
With the support of Docklands Studios Melbourne (thanks Rod Allan), ACS was able to lay out a feature-packed event that showcased all the professional equipment and services available to DPs to move and support a motion picture camera. With the expo attended by top-level exhibitors, our ACS Members, visitors and VIPs were afforded the opportunity to view and try out some state-of-the-art gear and were able to meet crew and facilitators.

Some of the equipment was professional industry-standard tools of trade that younger cinematographers may not have had a chance to work with before, and some was cutting edge technology that just about everyone has not had the chance to try out yet!
The idea of the show was to provide an arena to interface cinematographers, crew, services and equipment together so that people could now put a name to a face, introduce themselves and get a better and clearer concept of who and what is out there for the next job. Equipment could be tried and demo'ed in detail without time pressure and then compared to similar products and services.

In a style different from some of the International trade shows, our expo was not a hyped up, expensive sales pitch full of give-aways and potentially empty promises. This was a down-to-earth, no gimmicks event put on in a sound stage where the equipment might normally be put to work. There was no carpet, models or mirror balls.
The response was overwhelmingly positive as we were fed back that the honesty and low key nature of the expo made it accessible and allowed visitors to engage in set-like analysis in a what you see is what you get environment.
