Events Digipost held a well attended evening for members on the 3rd of July where we got a chance to see new workflow's and meet with some of the Digipost team as well as tour of the facility which was appreciated by many present. |
Many thanks to Garry Little of Digipost for hosting this evening and laying on refreshments for those attending. As always these events also provide a chance for new members to meet with the rest of us and put faces to the names. |
Dean Semler - Apocalypto:
On Queens Birthday Monday we had a marathon screening of Apocalypto followed by Q&A with Dean Semler ASC,ACS. After the relentless pace of the movie, most present were grateful for the refreshments laid on by Panavision before going into a very interesting Question and Answer session. We were extremely lucky to have Dean attend this as he was only in this part of the world to attend the ACS 50th events and awards. It was good to hear that Dean was very happy with the quality of HD projection at the Albany Skycity Cinema. We hope to be able to use this facility again in the future. Also in attendance was John Galt of Panavision who is credited with the development of the Genesis camera. Many thanks to Panavision for making this happen.

30 05 2008 Sydney
Here a couple of photos from Kodak's friday night dinner in Sydney. In these shots Daryn Okada ASC tries to impress me with his wine collection and pleads for nzcs membership. Although cornered, I remain professionally unimpressed pending a full wine tasting evening.
Cheers Kevin |

NZCS Special General Meeting
The first official meeting of NZCS as an Incorporated Society was held on the 30th of January at the Drake Tavern in Auckland. In attendance were many of the original 15 members who signed up to form the society. It did not take long for a robust discussion to start up on key topics. The committee was nominated and voted in including Leon Nareby as President with unanimous support. A note of thanks to Simon Raby for being the DOP with the foresight to bring a camera to record this moment above.
