Just
like a real film set. That’s what’s promised
at Scottish Students on Screen at Dundee Contemporary
Arts on 23-24 March. The first thing a visitor to the
two-day festival of the best in student film work will
see, is a Lee Lighting van at the entrance powering the
lights to illuminate the large entrance hall, lit as it
would be if a film shoot was actually taking place there.
Lee Lighting is Scotland’s major lighting company
working across the board on films, television, commercials,
corporates, in fact anything to do with the moving image.
They are one of the main sponsors of Scottish Students
on Screen and will have some of their latest equipment
at the event to allow students to see and handle the new
and innovative equipment.
George Thomson, Lee Lighting’s Scottish Operations
Director is delighted to lend his support to Scottish
Students on Screen. "As a company, which works in
the industry, I feel it is very important for us to get
involved with students. They are after all
the future of the media industry and we want to give them
the chance to see the newest and best equipment and allow
them to question our technicians and get some real hands-on
experience. We have always supported the emerging talent
through the Scottish short film schemes like Tartan Shorts
and New Found Land, and Scottish Students on Screen is
an occasion to meet even younger filmmakers. Education
is vital in this industry and we are very keen to support
any initiative that encourages training. This is the reason
that Lee’s in association with Panavision Scotland
have presented the main award for Cinematography, because
we want to encourage these creative youngsters in their
careers."
The winner of the Lee Lighting Panavision Scotland Award
for Cinematography will not only receive a magnificent
trophy but also gets the chance to be trained on and to
use, state-of-the-art camera and lighting equipment on
their next film shoot.
