Show floor highlights Aputure Stand 210
The headline over on the Aputure stand will be the recently released STORM XT52, the latest addition to the STORM range and the brightest tunable white point source LED on the market. Featuring the revolutionary BLAIR light engine, the STORM XT52 delivers a wide range of excellent white light, but it’s also the brightest light in the world to offer colour adjustability, with more than 70% of the Rec. 2020 colour space covered. Stop by to get hands on with it, meet the team and explore the rest of the range. Astera has added two groundbreaking offerings to its line of premier lighting solutions, displaying the colour science of the Titan LED Engine. The QuikSpot – a battery-powered, highly versatile zoomable LED spotlight – is designed for flexibility. Its QuikTurn zoom delivers a clean, hard light in spot position or a broad, even beam in flood position – both free of colour shift and multi- shadow issues. Also on display is the popular LunaBulb, a cine-quality light with the form factor of a classic light bulb. Screwed into standard AC sockets, LunaBulb delivers flicker-free, natural- looking light perfect for skin detailing, while its covert shape allows seamless practical use on-set. Astera Stand 336 Blackmagic Design will showcase the URSA Cine 12K, which balances large format image quality and production flexibility. Features include an RGBW sensor with 16 stops of dynamic range, interchangeable PL/LPL mounts, Lemo and Fischer connections, 8TB of internal high-speed storage and 10G Ethernet for streamlined data management. For larger-scale projects, the URSA Cine 17K 65 extends the platform’s large Blackmagic Design Stands 244 & 246
A WORLD OF KIT Numerous Motorworld stalls will showcase all manner of new tech
questions, explore new tools and take part in international discussions on the challenges and solutions facing the sector today. It’s also a great spot for relaxed networking over coffee. Expanded show zones, meanwhile, will span the full production process – from location services through to pre- and post-production – giving visitors a chance to connect with experts across every area of filmmaking. One of the most anticipated elements of the 2025 programme is the return of the IMAGO Technical and Educational Committees, which will lead an intensive two-day symposium across two theatres. With over a dozen sessions planned, the programme will explore everything from the evolving role of AI in cinematography to look management, colour workflows, lighting requirements and production methodologies. Designed to go beyond surface-level insight, these sessions offer in-depth technical and creative perspectives, making them truly valuable for cinematographers, gaffers, colourists, DITs, post professionals and crew alike. Among the respected voices taking part in the symposium are academic and cinematographer Marijke Van Kets, who will share her research-driven approach to how cinematography is perceived, particularly in her work with stop-motion animation. David Stump, ASC, BVK, co-chair of the IMAGO Technical Committee, brings decades
showcasing cutting-edge cameras, lighting and grip equipment – as well as pioneering tools in VP and post- production. In the Camera & Lens Zone, you can test out the latest kit and accessories in real shooting environments, with major players like Canon, Sony, Blackmagic Design, Fujinon/ Fujifilm and RED in attendance. You’ll also find a host of top lighting brands, including Aputure, Godox and Kino Flo Lighting Systems. New for 2025 is the Rental Village: a dedicated space for the industry’s top kit hire companies to show off their latest gear and expertise. Pop by to ask
