AGENDA CINE GEAR EXPO
The Cine Gear Expo in Los Angeles is where the world’s top moviemakers and independent filmmakers go to meet and check out the latest kit Hollywood goes to Expo!
I t may not be the biggest show in the world for filmmakers, but it’s one of the most high-profile for sure. We’re talking about the prestigious Cine Gear Expo in sunny Southern California – and it’s on from 9-12 June.
VOCAS The Dutch accessory manufacturer is on a mission to create innovative, high-quality and ergonomic accessories for video professionals, producing both universal tools and dedicated extras for specific cameras. On show will be a range of new accessories, including the Level Marker – a clever instrument that helps you correctly align your camera’s horizon – alongside new add-ons for the Sony Venice 2 and Red V-Raptor, among others. Vocas will also display the exhaustive line-up of its popular accessories for the Sony FX6, FX9 and Red Komodo cameras. vocas.com
The event has been running since 1996, in recent times in the backlot of a genuine Hollywood film studio. Its new home is the LA Convention Center, but it still attracts genuine moviemaking moguls, as well as filmmakers from around the globe. There are awards shows, screenings, lively panel debates with industry experts, workshops to learn from, networking to be done and – of course – the latest cool kit from some of the best manufacturers on the planet. There’s often brand-new gear unveiled, too. The trade show area will be open from 9-11 June, while the final day is set aside for workshops – as well as some serious SoCal networking. To register, go to cinegearexpo.com. If you do attend, here are just a handful of the manufacturers whose gear you should definitely check out.
