    NZCS and Xytech Group invite you to an insightful afternoon with DP 
    Dave Garbett and Gaffer Phil Totoro, discussing the evolution of camera and lighting over the past decade.

    Join us as they share their experiences with the latest technologies that have transformed our industry, producing stunning results for an ever-demanding audience. With a combined history of working on major projects like Spartacus, Ash vs Evil Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Dave and Phil will explore how advancements in lighting and camera technology have shaped their craft.

    We’ll dive into topics such as:

    • The dramatic increase in lighting resources and techniques used today compared to 10 years ago.
    • The impact of LED lighting and advanced control systems on production efficiency.
    • The balance between legacy techniques and new innovations in the industry.
    • The essential skills for modern camera operators in today’s fast-paced environment.

    This is a unique opportunity to engage in an enriching discussion with leaders in the field and to understand how New Zealanders are excelling on the international stage.

    RSVP required. Free for NZCS Members & Awards Attendees. Non-members $35. Coffee & afternoon tea provided.
