2017 Master Lighting Demo, Digital Symposium and Vendor’s Fair By: Brother Richard Cohn, Local 52 (Electric Department) IATSE Local 600 Camera Guild in conjunction with Motion Picture Studio Mechanics, Local 52 I.A.T.S.E. in New York City conducted a two-day Lighting Symposium and Tech Fair at the Local 52’s Education and Training facility in Astoria, New York on June 17th and 18th, 2017. High attendance and collegial enthusiasm were evident throughout the event. The program commenced with remarks by Steve Poster, President of the International Cinematographers Guild, followed by Dejan Georgevich, co-chair of the Local 600 Education Committee. The entire event was dedicated to the memory of recently deceased Local 600 member Sol Negrin ASC who had been instrumental in many previous presentations. The proceedings then began in earnest with the first Master Lighting Class Demo presented by Stewart Dryburgh ASC/NZCS. Throughout the two-day event, four different respected cinematographers shared their insights, techniques and philosophy in four separate Master Lighting Demonstrations. They included Rodrigo Prieto ASC/AMC; Robert Gantz ASC and Lisa Wiegand ASC. Well attended were additional panel discussions and presentations on LED’s, Drones, New Technologies and Practices for Assistant Camera Persons, and Shooting for HDR. The Vendor’s Fair, open between scheduled events, created an initial impression of “A veritable mini city of light!” as one attendee exclaimed. In-depth demos, fascinating displays and a friendly interchange of data, ideas and experience were highlights throughout the two days. And swag. Dejan Georgevich organized the event with the aid of Local 600 members Dave Satin (Committee Co-Chair), Quenelle Jones, Tim Housel and Roger Grange. Chris Nowak designed a versatile set used in all four Master Lighting Demonstrations. Richard Cohn on behalf of the Local 52 Education, Training and Safety Committee acted as liaison with the various crafts, providers and vendors to insure a smooth and successful presentation. He was assisted by John Raugalis, Frank Proscia, Gary Pastore, and their respective Electric, Grip, and Prop Crews during the actual demos. CSC, Lee and Rosco all provided generous support as did Teamsters Local 817, Scenic Artists Local USA829, and the staff at the Local 52 facility. “A great example of the cooperation between members of the two Locals,” remarked Georgevich in reference to Local 600 and Local 52. The universal response of those in attendance was that the 2017 Master Lighting Demos, Digital Symposium and Venders Trade Fair was a great success in offering an opportunity to learn about new techniques and the latest gear. It was also a “collegial convocation” with a lot of warmth and professionalism manifested by the community of crafts who participated in two days of “Lighting Fun.” 48 OFFICIAL BULLETIN
