Canon begins new webinar series focused on
the art of cinematography.
Webinar flagship speakers include some of
the best cinematographers in India - Santosh Sivan, Kiran Deohans and Alphonse
Roy
With an intent to promote the
photography culture and build on the legacy of film-making in India , Canon India is all set to introduce its
latest series of webinars on the nuances of cinematography. For the same, the
brand has collaborated with renowned and established
cinematographers Kiran Deohans, Alphonse Roy and India ’s finest
DI Colorist Ashirwad Hadkar. The registration links and T&Cs for the
webinars will be available on Canon India ’s social handles.
Being one of the leading digital imaging
companies, the brand constantly aims at pushing the boundaries of photography
and cinematography. Moreover, while the mainstream and regional cinema industry
continues to evolve and grow, a massive splurge in the consumer engagement with
OTT led content has immensely contributed to the overall growth of the filming
industry. This has also led to a massive demand for innovative and cutting
edge products that can cater to the futuristic requirements of the filming
professionals.
In line with this attempt, Canon India is
kick-starting a new series of online masterclasses focusing on cinematography
and film-making. Through these webinars, Canon India aims at providing an
opportunity to all amateur and professional cinematographers to explore the
marvel of full frame cameras in the field of cinematography and film-making,
thereby leading to quality content production.
The first leg of this riveting cinema
webinars will be undertaken by one of the most acclaimed cinematographers and
Padma Shri awardees – Santosh Sivan. Mr. Sivan is the only Indian
cinematographer to be inducted into the American Society of Cinematographers
(ASC). His work in Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi cinema has been honoured with
National awards movies such as Perumthachan, Kaalapani, Iruvar and Dil Se.
