GTC Red, Alexa and 3D workshops

The Guild of Television Cameramen is organising day-long workshops on the Red One, the Arri Alexa and 3DTV.

Its Red workshop (A Red Day Out) will be on October 22, at Molinare, London, and will cover the technology and workflows involved, with camera shooting tests (including very low light) and an introduction to the Baselight grading facility with a demonstration of working with Red material. Talks and demos will be done by Molinare and 4K London.

The Alexa Camera workshop (16 November 2010), will take place at Arri Media, Uxbridge, near London, with morning and afternoon sessions (numbers limited to 15 in each), to allow everyone get their hands on the cameras, go through usage and workflow, and ask questions.

On December 7 there will be 3DTV – The Emerging Picture, at Telegenic, High Wycombe. It will cover: an overview of the development, principles and shooting techniques of stereoscopic 3D; and offer hands-on time with a range of 3ality active 3D rigs and, if available, a tour of one of Telegenic's dedicated 3D OB trucks.

The GTC workshops are free to GTC members – non-members are welcome, if there's space, for £80 (more than membership costs), but the 3D day is sold out.

[UPDATE: The 3D day has had to be postponed, because Telegenic has now been booked for a 3D production - however, it should be rescheduled at a later date].
