Lighting through the Lighting Board: with DP Richard Bluck NZCS, Gaffer Giles Coburn, & Lighting Console Operator Abby Clearwater

NZCS and Xytech Group invite you to an afternoon in Auckland exploring 'Lighting through the Lighting Board' with DP Richard Bluck NZCS, Gaffer Giles Coburn, and Lighting Console Operator Abby Clearwater.

This session is designed to give cinematographers and crew working on productions of all scales valuable insight into this evolving space, focusing on how lighting board workflows can streamline time on set and be integrated into future projects.

The panel will delve into how productions can harness the power of lighting control systems to achieve creative vision, optimise workflows, and secure budget support for the process. Richard, Giles, and Abby will share their experiences across high-profile projects, examining both the advantages and challenges of integrating a lighting board into modern production.

Expect discussion around:

• Practical strategies to plan and manage lighting board workflows on set.
  
• How to communicate the creative and budget benefits of a lighting board to production.
  
• Pitfalls to avoid when adopting this approach.
  
• Real-world insights from recent projects, supported by stills, clips, and lighting setups.
