This invaluable workshop, taught by working professionals for professionals, is designed to enrich, inspire and educate members of the feature and production industries and ready them for the next generation of creative tools.

Steven Poster, ASC, President of the International Cinematographers Guild, commented on the workshop, "During this difficult time, one of the most important services Local 600 can offer our members is training. The generosity of Panasonic, HD Expo, Panavision, Fujinon, and Birns & Sawyer is an overwhelming gift to all of us. I hope many of you take advantage of this offer. This kind of training can keep us ahead of the curve which is just where we have to be."

Panasonic’s Russ Walker, Director of Business Development for Production, noted, “We recognize the need to support our community during this difficult time and the P2 Workshops provide sophisticated, in-depth training in the revolutionary data centric workflow offered by the P2 line of products. These workshops will equip cinematographers and other key members of the production-post production teams with knowledge and skills that will be invaluable when they go back to work. Panasonic is committed to supporting the men and women who use our equipment and want to ensure that they are well prepared to face the challenges of the future.
