Event Overview
Which camera should you choose, which works for what situation and what other gear do you need to get.

Sony’s Cinema Line can often be a bit confusing. From Sony’s flagship Venice camera down to the low cost FX30 all offer a range of similar features and functions. So, it isn’t always clear which camera might be the best for which production. This webinar is designed for producers and directors or anyone else that needs to understand which camera to use for what application. As well as helping you understand the pros and cons of each camera this session will help you figure out what accessories you might need or which lenses you should consider for different types of work. The webinar will be hosted by Sony Ambassador Alister Chapman who has extensive experience with all of the Cinema Line cameras and has worked on a huge range of projects from blockbuster movies to low budget corporate videos. Who should attend:
This event is suitable for anyone who is interested in improving their basic knowledge of production equipment. It is particularly relevant to people who are tasked with renting or buying production equipment. Junior production staff, production assistant, production coordinator, production manager and assistant camera operators.

This event is a must for anyone interested in improving their basic product knowledge.
