From the President's Even More-Messy Desk

MoPictive Friends,

We're moving our April 27 meeting to the SLC Conference Center, 752 7th Avenue, 16th Floor. This venue will also allow us to feed you, hence our $5 admission to help offset the cost of the event space and the refreshments.

Last month we took a look at the Panasonic AF-100 camera. In our continuing program on large sensor cameras, we started with several sessions on using DSLR's, continued with the Panasonic AF-100 and this month we will have a close up look at the Sony PMW F-3. Ron Yoshida owns and rents several of these cameras and he will answer your questions, show footage and generally do the hardware thing with us.

Our featured speaker of the evening is Timur Civan. You will find is bio below. As a DP, Timur owns and shoots a Canon 5D, a Red and a Sony F-3. He will be sharing the perspective of a DP on how to choose a camera for a specific shoot. In the process, Timur will show us clips from his documentary, commercial and cinematic accomplishments.

The rest of our evening will be evolving dynamically. It all depends upon what is announced at NAB, what will be relevant to our group, and who we will be able to find to present to us. In any event, NAB 2011 promises some exciting product introductions and workflow innovations. We'll just have to wait.

I'll announce a final agenda before the meeting.

Once again, our Platinum Sponsor AJA Systems is donating the amazing KiPro for us to raffle. The KiPro lists for $3995 and one of you will be taking one home on April 27. See below for the rules.

Hope to see many of you at NAB and of course on April 27.

With pre-NAB preparations, my desk is even more messy than before our last meeting!

Sincerely,

Ned Soltz
President, MoPictive


This month's lineup:

The Sony PMW F-3

Imagine a Super35 sensor camera with a PL lens mount and third party mounts to use virtually any lens. Imagine a camera so low in noise that you can shoot ISO 6400 with barely any noise. And imagine a camera with 3G SDI, dual link SDI and an option for S-Log and 4:4:4 output to HDCAM SR. Ron Yoshida will show us this camera suitable for your high end productions or even as a B camera for shoots with the highest end gear. It might be out of some our price range at a street price of $13,300 body only ($18,950 with 3 Sony PL primes) but rental is often the way to go on gear such as this. Ron Yoshida shoots and rents his fleet of F-3's and will have a show and tell.

Check the PMW F-3 here.


Timur Civan

The Perspective of a Director of Photography

Choosing the Right Camera For the Job

Timur Civan is an acclaimed Director of Photography and fine artist. He has the natural ability to take a seemingly impossible, logistically nightmarish photographic demand and turn it into an award-winning piece of art.

In his years of undergrad at New York University he honed his talent for creating visually stimulating art; he left the school with an appreciation for the capacity of the moving picture.

Initially Timur was a showing visual artist. Upon receiving praise for video artistry at several gallery showings in New York and Istanbul, he was offered the opportunity to shoot his first music video. This early display of an eye for the medium led to a series of videos by acclaimed directors and recording artists. This cemented his love of telling a story with the camera. To date has several dozen short films, music videos, corporate videos, commercials and documentaries under his belt. He is currently shooting a feature film.

Clients include:

BCBG / NYC & Company / Emeril Live / Elle Int'l / IKM productions / Little Marvin Big Media / Home Shopping Network / Discovery Channel / Oceana / Whole Foods Inc. / Raging Nation Films / CNN / Mtv / Sundance Channel / Food Network
