Christian Filmmaking Students to Receive Training on 35mm Film Equipment from New Sponsor Panavision

By Douglas Phillips — September 19, 2006

Panavision, the motion picture industry’s leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of high-precision camera systems has joined the San Antonio Christian Filmmakers Academy as a sponsor. We are pleased to announce that, this year, Panavision will be sending James Finn to the Academy to lecture on cinematography and the future of high-definition technologies. Finn will be bringing one of the famous Panavision cameras with lenses so that students can learn about proper setup and handling of industry-standard 35mm film equipment. This presentation is a must for serious students of filmmaking.

Academy faculty believe Panavision is well positioned to take advantage of the emerging markets for the capture of images in digital format and the use of digital technologies for post-production work. In addition to 35mm film support, Panavision offers a complete state-of-the-art high definition digital camera system comprised of a modified version of Sony’s 24P CINEALTA™ high-definition digital camera, coupled with Panavision’s series of specially designed PRIMO DIGITAL® lenses and other accessories for use in the motion picture and television industries.

Space at the Christian Filmmakers Academy is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
