Facility Tour, Networking and STUCCO Panel at the New ZEISS Cinema Lens Demo Center
Join Los Angeles Post Production Group for our September 11th meeting at the new ZEISS Cinema Lens Demo Center in Sherman Oaks. We’ll have the opportunity to network, tour the
facility, enjoy light refreshments and we’ll be treated to a panel where we’ll have an inside look at the making of STUCCO, a thought-provoking short film produced in partnership with RED Digital Cinema and EFILM.
The panel will explore the emotional and technical aspects of making a film with heavy practical and visual effects and how to leverage RED DSMC2 with ZEISS lens metadata technology (eXtended Data) for a streamlined workflow from production to post.
Moderator:
Snehal Patel, Director Cinema Sales, ZEISS
Panelists:
Joachim Zell, VP of Technology, EFILM/ Stucco Imaging Scientist
Barry Goch, Senior Finishing Artist, Foundation Post/Stucco Editor
Dan Duran, Post Production & Workflow Specialist, RED Digital Cinema
As at all LAPPG meetings, we will have our popular end of the evening raffle, where we will be giving away thousands of dollars of prizes from our supportive partners.
Join us for this special evening and see what a great resource ZEISS has created for filmmakers!

SUBSCRIBE TO LAPPG'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO CATCH UP ON MISSED MEETINGS
To get you excited for our next ZEISS meeting, take a look on our Youtube channel for a highlight video from when Snehal Patel and Scott E. Anderson were at LAPPG discussing the new XD technology originated by Zeiss. As you will see, this technology allows the shading and distortion characteristics of lens data to be stripped and reapplied for use in visual effects work. An open source technology, Zeiss extended data is being embraced by the lens and post community worldwide. The next meeting will be a great time opportunity to ask any questions about this!

In celebration of the end of summer we decided to hit the road and leave Santa Monica behind and we traversed the wild LA terrain of freeways and traffic jams to land at a brand new filmmakers’ oasis in Glendale, CA, the Sony Digital Media Production Center (DMPC). We’d like to offer a big thank you to the team at Sony Electronics for hosting such a special
meeting - from tours of this beautiful new facility, to the generous food and drink they provided and for allowing our members to explore this amazing educational resource for filmmakers. The facility includes a production stage, a workflow suite, and a photo studio, as well as a theater with a 23’ wide, 6K Crystal LED display, having a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 for stunning HDR playback! After networking and touring we were treated to an informative seven person panel moderated by Sony’s Dan Perry. We learned what it takes to post a one-hour drama using the X-OCN codec of Sony’s VENICE camera with the post production team from the upcoming Freeform show, “Motherland: Fort Salem” Finally capping the evening off was our popular monthly giveaway, which culminated in an terrific prize supplied by Sony of their RX0 ii camera.
