SUMMARY:Shooting A Remarkable Place To Die: A Conversation with Dave Cameron NZCS ACS
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Queenstown for a relaxed evening with cinematographer Dave Cameron NZCS ACS\, as he talks through his work on the TV series A Remarkable Place To Die. \nIn a rare opportunity\, the producers have generously allowed us to host this event on the actual set at The Remarkables Studio. Dave will walk through how the opening sequence from Season 1 was shot and share some of the practical realities of filming in one of the most beautiful\, and sometimes challenging\, parts of the country. \nWhile big international productions can throw huge resources at a project\, New Zealand drama often has to work a little differently. Dave will discuss how he approaches shooting within those constraints and the techniques he uses to achieve strong results on a local drama budget. \nFor our South Island members especially\, it’s a great chance to catch up in person\, hear directly from one of our leading cinematographers\, ask a few questions\, and spend a bit of time on a working studio set. There may even be a chance for a quick wander through the set if time allows. \nWHEN: Tuesday 17 March. Doors open 6 PM\, with presentation kicking off at 7 PM\nWHERE: Remarkables Studios\, Hawthorne Drive\, Frankton\, Queenstown \nFree for NZCS members | $40 for non-members\nAttendance limited – reserve your seat now. \nNot a member yet? Join now and attend this and other great events for free.\nLearn more about membership here. \nREGISTER HERE \nWith support from Film Queenstown Lakes and Film Otago Southland
