Get your copy of Shane's book signed in person and spend a little one on one time talking shop. It is an open chance to meet Shane and the rest of the Filmmakers Academy team in the flesh, so come say hello.
The acclaimed NAB Show talk returns, bridging the art history of light with modern cinematography, from Rembrandt and Caravaggio to the seven foundational lighting positions. Expect live demos of hard to soft quality and DIY diffusion, a book signing after, and first hand education rather than a product pitch.
Shane breaks down the communication mastery that sets top tier DPs apart, based on the popular Filmmakers Academy series "Design Your DP Cart Like An ASC Cinematographer." Real workflows refined across features and series, and how the Hollyland Solidcom system operates at the highest professional levels.
The fastest lens swap challenge at Cine Gear is back and bigger, running all day both days at the Kondor Blue booth with a DZOFilm, Filmmakers Academy, and Kondor Blue prize package worth over $3,000. Swaps run all day to set your time, then the fastest challenger faces Shane Hurlbut, ASC in the Face Off at 6:00 PM PT.
Fourteen years after Shane smuggled a DSLR onto a Navy SEAL base to shoot Act of Valor, the next revolution arrives. He pushes the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF and PYXIS 12K through brutal exposure, frame rate, and skin tone tests against industry titans, proving elite images no longer need a studio budget.
Missed Friday? This is your second chance at the same deep dive into the art and craft of cinematic lighting, tracing light from the old masters to the seven foundational positions, with live demonstrations and a book signing after.
The lighting console was never built for filmmakers, so Blackout rebuilt it for the way a set actually works. Join CEO Jeff Brink with Shane Hurlbut, ASC and gaffer Thomas Sigurdsson for the first public look at V3, featuring a new FX engine, an advanced color engine, and a console that runs entirely on an iPad.
More announcements coming for additional engagements throughout the weekend. Connect with the community and get the most out of Cine Gear. See you at Universal Studios.
