Tiffen Steadicam Sponsors Julian Chojnacki, SOC Workshop

Tiffen Steadicam is proud to sponsor Julian Chojnacki, SOC for his workshop in 3D technology on Saturday July 11, 2009. Chojnacki, who recently finished working on The Final Destination as both the steadicam operator and camera operator, will be discussing techniques and tricks of the trade in working with this emerging technology.

Chojnacki actually learned and developed his skill as a steadicam operator from its inventor, Garret Brown. Since then he has worked on numerous films and television series including Final Destination, Inconceivable, Rebound, and the popular Nash Bridges.

Hilary Araujo, Vice President of Marketing for Tiffen believes their product is a perfect fit for this workshop. “If you look at the list of films Julian has been involved in as both a steadicam and camera operator, it is important that we support these efforts. This is a wonderful time to bring our product forward.”

Tiffen’s commitment to student filmmakers is another prime motivation for Tiffen’s sponsorship.

“This workshop is perfect for students who are aspiring film and video makers and we want to support their efforts,” Araujo said.

Tiffen will even be distributing complimentary Steadicam DVD’s to the first fifty sign-ups for the workshop. Kim Welch, founder of Welch Integrated, Inc. and Studentfilmmakers Magazine, is thrilled to have Tiffen as a sponsor.

“The quality of Tiffen Steadicam is top notch and widely used within the Motion Picture Industry. I’m excited to have them on board with this event,” Welch said. Julian Chojnacki’s educational session on 3D will be an all inclusive workshop. Commencing at 9:30am for a half-hour networking opportunity with Chojnacki, attendees will then participate in the two hour workshop, followed by an hour for questions.

Julian will be discussing a wide range of topics including how we see in 3D and how the camera reproduces the images. He will also cover the process of making alterations to a film and the limitations with shooting in 3D. He will even display images from Final Destination and share some of his experience working on the production set.
