NZCS and ACS are members of IMAGO, the The European Federation of Cinematographers and they've come up with a simple but powerful idea:

The idea is to find out what cinematographers, camera crews, colorists, and post production supervisors want in equipment and software and then pass that information to manufacturers and software engineers.

Of course manufacturers and designers do this anyway, but by gathering  information systematically and as widely as possible from around the world, manufacturers and the community itself will get insights that were never before uncovered.

As a member of NZCS you can be part of this survey and you should participate if you work with cameras, camera equipment or in the post process.  

The survey takes around 10 minutes but it is worth taking a look before you start to get a feel for the technical questions.

When the Survey answers are received, the results will be evaluated, discussed and concluded during meetings at IBC 2018.

The finished result of the Survey is planned to be presented to the major camera and equipment manufacturers during Camerimage 2018.

Deadline for completion 10 May 2018.
