BSC Expo 2025 is right around the corner, and we are pleased to announce that Cooke Digital will be hosting a seminar at the show on Friday 14, 15:45: The new collaborations that empower the cinematographer’s vision.
The Cooke Digital team will be joined by an array of experienced guests from a range of skill sets covering pre-vis, cinematography, and postproduction workflows for a discussion around the importance of collaboration between these different departments.
With ever growing technological advancements, it is now possible to streamline much of the workflow between these departments, making the transition of key decisions and information seamless. This helps ensure that the cinematographer’s artistic vision remains fully understood and intact throughout the complex production process.
In November 2024, Cooke Digital hosted their debut seminar at the Camerimage Film Festival. To get a preview of what to expect for the BSC seminar next week, you can watch the seminar from Camerimage below.
