ASC Hosts Fujinon Day for Hands-On Lens Demos
The American Society of Cinematographers recently hosted Fujinon Day at the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood.
During the event, Fujinon’s Cine Optics team used a workshop and educational approach to help attendees gain a better understanding of the creative, optical and budgetary considerations that are critical to modern optics design.
Bill Bennett, ASC moderated a discussion regarding the subtle and distinctive lens characteristics and qualities that can make all the difference to a production.
As part of the demonstration, a constant rotation of Fujinon Premier Series and Cabrio Series lenses were employed on an Alexa SXT camera shooting an actress in a scene lit in the Clubhouse Bar and shown on a Dolby HDR monitor.
Duclos Lenses transformed the ASC Board Room into a live lens projection space using Chrosziel’s new LED projector. A constant rotation of Premier Series and Cabrio Series optics were examined, offering an opportunity for both the novice to the experienced to learn more about lens projection.
New 2/3" format 4K UHD Box and portable ENG style lenses were showcased on Sony 4K HDC-4300 cameras outside of the Clubhouse. UA22x8BERD (8-176mm) & UA80x9BESM (9-720mm) were also shown.
Multiple Camera Set-Ups inside the Clubhouse showcased the entire lineup of Fujinon Series PL-mount zoom lenses, designed for a wide range of optical and budgetary performance applications.
