Panels & Speakers
Bringing Cinematic Storytelling to Broadway Performance Captures
Innovations in live performance capture are emerging, using cinematic cameras and techniques in multi-cam environments. Our panel will bring together the filmmakers, producers, cinematographers, and crew who are pushing these creative and technical boundaries on projects including American Utopia, Come from Away, Hamilton, Diana: The Musical, and Jersey Boys.
Panelists will discuss their experience utilizing large sensor digital cinema cameras and broadcast interconnectivity to capture live Broadway performances. Using these tools, as well as a cinematic approach, these creative teams have been able to realize their artistic visions within the technical and logistical constraints of these projects.

Painting with Light: How Today’s Lens Offerings are Expanding the Cinematographer’s Creative Palette
With camera imaging and lighting technology at such an advanced state, some of techniques that cinematographers are using to add personality and subtle characteristics to their images is through their choice and application of lenses. Catering to this trend, many of today’s lens manufacturers are defying the notion of “perfect” glass and now offering a new generation of bespoke and customizable optics.
Our panel of cinematographers will discuss the creative opportunities that are opening up for them, thanks to today’s lens choices, and how they are harnessing these tools to elevate their creative expression.
Participants: Vanja Cernjul, ASC; M. David Mullen; Antonio Riestra, ASC; and Jay Holben (moderator)
