Who’s Your Digitech: Image is everything, who is handling yours?

Location: MCAD

Once upon a time you had a trusted lab to which you sent your film, and they in turn sent back your great pictures on pieces of plastic. They knew the difference between your 1/2 stop push and everyone else’s 1/2 stop push. Life was great. Then you started shooting digital and had to put clean, beautiful files (as they were called) in your client’s hands all by yourself. No sweat, you thought, you knew how to use a computer. Then you got busy, or suddenly your clients needed finished files before the set was even taken down. You tried asking your assistants to do that, but they were too busy taking down the set, or packing your gear or getting ready for the next shot. Then, right on cue, you got a call from a digital tech, and life was great again. Come find out who these folks are who are helping you focus more on making great pictures. A panel of local and national Techs will have an open ended discussion about this new, changing field and how it relates to what you as a photographer do. Kat Andrews, a Tech from Smashbox Digital in L.A. and Todd Schweikert, the V.P. of Industrial Color in New York City, the largest digital capture and post production company in the country. The panel will collectively share their experiences and allow questions from the audience.
