Reprise! 2023 HBO Camera Assessment Series Screening

Saturday, July 29th, 2023

ZEISS Cinematography, SMPTE Hollywood Section and the Digital Cinema Society invite you to a special screening of the HBO Camera Assessment Series. The HBO Camera Assessment Series, started over 10 years ago, was created to assist producers, directors, and cinematographers across the entire Warner Brothers Discovery family to select the most appropriate capture system for their productions. The goal of these highly objective and format agnostic tests is not to determine which camera system is “best”, but which best matches the needs of each individual production. 

DCS Founder James Mathers will moderate a Q&A following the screening with the HBO CAS team including: Suny Behar, Director/DP, HBO Camera Assessment Series, 2011-2023, Stephen Beres, HBO SVP of Production Operations – HBO CAS Executive Producer 2011-2023, (WB-Discovery), & Erik Hansen, HBO VP Media & Production Services - (WB-Discovery).
