3D Camera Intensive Series

Featuring the Kernercam KC7000 3D stereoscopic camera rig

October 21 to the 23
| $200.00 ((includes registration for the 3D Exploratory Workshop)
Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film, University of Winnipeg, 400 Colony Street
*Registration deadline – Tuesday, October 18th

Participants will learn how to build, maintain and change the configurations of the Kernercam 3D Rig. The rig is an over/under front-surface mirror design, utilizing two Sony HDC-P1 cameras; each mounted with matching fujinon 18×7.6 c-series zooms. All the functions of the cameras, such as focus, zoom, aperture, etc., are operated by motorized wireless controls.

The Kernercam has been used on a number of feature films including 3D elements for Avatar and Pirates of the Caribbean IV and more recently action miniatures on Transformers III.

This workshop is designed for intermediate to established crew who are members of the camera department. Participants of this series will work with Marty Brenneis and Sean Arden to operate the Kernercam 3D Rig as part of the 3D Exploratory Workshop.

3D Exploratory Workshop
with Karl Herrmann, Marty Brenneis, John Reeve, Alan Goldman, Sean Arden and Denise Quesnel
Featuring the Kernercam KC7000 3D stereoscopic camera rig with two Sony HDC-P1 cameras and the Genus Hurricane 3D Camera Rig with two SI-2K cameras

October 22 & 23 | 10 am – 5 pm
$175.00 (Registration Deadline - October 18th)
Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film, University of Winnipeg, 400 Colony Street
*registration for this workshop will include registration to the IMAX 3D Presentation on Friday, October 21.

This is a two-day interactive workshop where participants will experience the nuances on set between 2D and 3D, using the latest stereoscopic image capture tools. Participants will learn how production and postproduction workflow is shifting, and how new technologies are changing how the industry produces, directs, and budgets for 3D.

This workshop will begin with a basic introduction to 3D filmmaking. You will be taught composition, and the different types of shots and blocking used exclusively in 3D filmmaking, as well as how important your lighting choices are when working in 3D. The instructors will review camera movements, how to adjust convergence, as well as pulling focus and zooming. The instructors will also deliver instruction on 3D camera rig types and working examples, and participants will be shown how a Stereo Image Processor can save valuable time by allowing you to converge in post-production.

This is an excellent opportunity for the local film and television industry to engage with experienced instructors in the field of 3D filmmaking. Both the Kernercam KC7000 3D stereoscopic camera rig and the Genus Hurricane 3D Camera Rig have never been seen in Winnipeg until this event.
