It was really interesting class because Rory gave insight into the industry which I haven’t really gotten before. He basically gave us a history lesson of the industry and how its evolved and changed with the technology. The advancement in digital camera quality means you can achieve a higher exposure with less lighting and better and more affordable LED’s lights must have caused a positive disruption in the industry. Bulbs do still have a place on set but the controllably of LED, their life and energy performance definitely outweigh the benefits of bulbs. The L-series Arri light was amazing and it really out shines the lights we have at RMIT. We don’t really need the best lights anyway though so it doesn’t matter I found his advice about the industry very valuable. I never through that grips would own their own equipment but it makes sense because it adds extra perks to hiring them especially if they have an arsenal of lights in their truck ready to be used if needed. I kind of expected it to be the job of the cinematographer to own their lights but this makes sense.
