EVENT: 2011 Imaging & Entertainment Expo - 24-26 June

From all you photography, lovers to creators, from hobos (hobbyists) to pros, this event is just for you! This weekend over the Saturday and Sunday the 2011 Imaging & Entertainment Expo is on at the Sydney Convention Centre.

So far my time on the TV production of “Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta” has got me mind boggled about the state of the art gear, from reds vs verso and also going out the field for “reccies” (location rehearsals/ blocking) with some of the finest in Australia’s industry of filmmakers who are pedantic about “getting the right shots and framing”.

So I’m looking forward to bringing out my Film Club crew to this event to learn a few more things or two about industry standard equipment.

What’s also great is that its FREE! If you register online. Click here! (Otherwise its $20 at the door).
So book your ticket and join me on the Saturday program. It looks like this:
