The Italian DP started by commenting some of his own photographs, and went on to discuss key films. I was particularly taken by his recounting of two collaborations with director Michelangelo Antonioni: the documentary China and The Passenger (Luciano discussed the famous one-shot finale at length).

Luciano also discussed his use of color in Dario Argento’s Suspira, and his bright night exteriors in Argento’s Tenebre.

Bravo to Alain Coiffier, Eric Guichard, the AFC and the entire crew of Cameflex for organizing a fascinating event.

Cameflex was produced in partnership with Cinéma Grand Action, K5600 Lighting, Panavision Alga, Ymagis, and the support of the CNC, CST and the San Sebastian Film Festival.

J’ai rassemblé ces 4 séries de photos de l’évènement Interaction proposé par K5600 Lighting, Transvideo et Little Grand Studio à Paris. L’idée de Marc Galerne était de faciliter des rencontres et discussions de gens de l’image autour du matériel lumière et monitoring. L’expérience est réussie ! Les photos sont de Jacques Delacoux, Jean-Noël Ferragut, Samuel Renollet et moi.

There was a space dedicated to measuring the light output, angle and color of different fixtures, which I found particularly interesting.

Il y avait un Espace Mesure, où l’on pouvait mesurer les plages, puissances et couleurs de différent projecteurs, que j’ai trouvé particulièrement intéressant.

Jacques Delacoux from Transvideo showed a range of monitors, including his new StarliteHD, the size of an iphone

I posted a video summary of the workshop that I organized with Eric Kress at the Gothenburg Film Studios during Gokinema. This 4-screen video offers a summary of the 12 lighting variations, showing the dailies from each set-up along with lighting diagrams.

You can see the post on thefilmbook blog on theasc.

I have also included links to download some of the 422 ProRes dailies !

The workshop was supported by Marc Galerne of K5600 Lighting and Jacques Delacoux of Transvideo, along with Anders Johansson of Media Teknik.
