The 2017 DCS Cinema Lighting Expo took place at the IATSE Grip’s Local 80 stage in Burbank on March 4th. The annual event included a full day of presentations from some of the industry’s most prominent cinematographers along with a host of vendors showing off their latest technology.

Academy Award winning cinematographer, Russell Carpenter, ASC, (Titanic, Ant Man, True Lies), reportedly gave advice gleaned from his long career, about how to deal with both rejection and success. He also stressed the importance of showing respect for one’s collaborators and the need to maintain a relaxed atmosphere on the set where actors can feel safe to create their best performances.

David Stump, ASC made a presentation on behalf of the Science and Technology Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on their new Spectral Similarity Index, (SSL), a comprehensive system to measure the spectral characteristics of various motion picture lighting technologies.
