CINE GEAR PREVIEW INDUSTRY.
Look out for: Vocas
The Netherlands-based camera accessories manufacturer is on a mission to provide high-quality, innovative and ergonomic accessories for film and video pros, producing both universal and dedicated accessories. Cine Gear Expo will be the first major exhibition of the year for Vocas, using it to showcase a range of new accessories, including the Level marker – a clever tool that helps you correctly align your camera’s horizon – alongside add-ons for the Sony Venice 2 and Red V-Raptor, among others. On top of that, its booth will also boast the complete line-up of
accessories for the Sony FX6, PXW-FX9 and Red Komodo. vocas.com
TRY FOR YOURSELF There’s no better opportunity for getting to grips with the latest technologies and techniques
Similarly, R&D departments were locked down, which gave them more time to focus on projects. Covid-19 forced people to sit at their desks. That’s going to result in a technology boom, at least in certain sectors. D: Given those comments, how do you feel Cine Gear is positioned to move forward? VS: It’s in the box seat. This is why plans are in place to continue with the Atlanta show, which was just picking up momentum when Covid-19 hit. People loved the idea of having a show
there, because it’s turning into another Hollywood. There are also plans to make it happen in New York. This has been done in the past, but now the production scene has changed there as well. There is plenty going on, with a lot of studios and stages opening up. D: Finally, for those people who haven’t attended Cine Gear before, tell us what they can expect – how would you describe it? VS: Cine Gear is the event I look forward to the most, because it has a unique vibe and DNA. There is no other show where you have so many production professionals in the same room at the same time – even people who are working come after their shift. For companies that exhibit, it gives unprecedented access to high-quality feedback on their products and services. But let’s not forget the educational and festival aspects. Brand-new premier seminars and masterclasses are being added all the time – Blackmagic, Zeiss and Arri conduct multiple sessions each day, Manhattan Beach Studios is doing one. There’s going to be a masterclass by Adorama, not to mention the student film competition. The festival side is certainly going to expand going forward, possibly as soon as next year. Julianne is looking to attract a completely different group of people from a production side; film buyers, executive producers, production companies. Cine Gear will no longer just be a production and gear show. cinegearexpo.com
Look out for: Tokina Cinema
The show is a great chance to get hands-on with Tokina Cinema’s line of Vista prime lenses, including the just-launched 180mm T1.9 telephoto, 21mm T1.5 and 29mm T1.5. Vista Primes have garnered considerable attention recently after being used on major shows for Apple TV+, Amazon, Netflix and the BBC. Designed to cover Vistavision-sized sensors, the lenses perfectly complement the latest generation of cinema cameras like the Arri Alexa Mini LF, Red V-Raptor and Sony Venice 2. David Rom, DOP for hit series Ted Lasso , said: “I loved the Tokina Vistas, absolutely loved them. The Vista primes do something special when you throw a light down them.” tokinacinemausa.com
