AWARDS FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR
This award is for best use of lighting – be it natural, ambient, artificial or a mix of both. Creative use of light makes a massive difference to the look of any project, and this award recognises where careful control of light has really paid dividends. LIGHTING MASTERING LIGHT FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT
The sign of films with high production values often lies in the critical area of lighting – a magic ingredient that can completely transform work. For professional-level lighting that’s surprisingly affordable, Aputure leads the way with its range of LED fixtures. At the very high end is the hugely powerful LS 1200D – good enough for Hollywood. But the brand also offers smaller and more affordable COB lights, plus large and small light panels, tubes, bulbs and modifiers.
A narrative sci-fi drama short in which a cash-strapped dad is offered a huge amount of money to ‘sell’ some years of his life to a corporate conglomerate is the idea behind a short film called Time Spent in the open category. Put forward by Rob Hutt of UK-based Flashbuzz, the crew usually shoot corporate videos for business clients. But this film was a chance for the crew to push themselves and showcase their dramatic skills. It’s an ideal entry to the open category, which is for everything from narrative drama to documentaries, long or short films. Commissioned or personal work, this class showcases the most ambitious and experimental projects. OPEN LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD
