Description

 The world of cinematography has changed more in the previous couple of years than it has since it has in 1929, when sound recording was introduced. New technology, new tools and new methods have revolutionized the art and craft of telling stories visually. Even as some aspects of visual language, lighting and color are eternal, shooting methods, workflow and cameras have changed radically. Even experienced film artists have a want to update and review new methods and equipment. These change have an effect on not only the director of photography but also the director, the camera assistants, gaffers, and digital imaging technicians.
