WEARABLE VIDEO: HOW TO PUT A CAMERA ANYWHERE
Mark Zealand and Mark Hissett
PointofViewCameras.com
Point of View (POV) is a shooting technique that shows the perspective of a scene literally from a character or object's position in the setting. That's just a technical way of saying that it enables you to put the viewer into the scene first hand. With today’s latest crop of tiny HD video cameras, productions can now be more dynamic and fast-paced than ever.
Mark Zealand and Mark Hissett from PointofViewCameras.com (http://pointofviewcameras.com/) are two of the key players behind one of the largest online POV stores in the world. They will be demonstrating the top selling point of view cameras, how to mount them and how to produce fast, hard hitting videos with the footage.

COPYRIGHTS, LICENCES & CONTRACTS FOR VIDEOGRAPHERSSheena Mitchell, LL.B., Canadian Trade-Mark Agent
Today's Internet age has fundamentally changed the world of videography, making it both more simple and more complex at the same time. On the one hand, online video streaming websites such as YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook make it simple to share your videos instantly with your clients and the world. But at the same time, every second of the images, music, dialogue, and people in your video can expose you to legal challenges if you don't have the proper rights and licenses in place. And your work could be downloaded and used by others anywhere, without your permission!
Business lawyer Sheena Mitchell (http://www.sheenamitchell.com/) will deliver a primer on intellectual property, copyright, and business contracts. Called to the bar in Ontario and in British Columbia Sheena has had the unique experience of working in both private legal practice and working as in-house legal counsel as well as for the film industry. Sheena focuses on helping business owners grow and protect themselves with necessary, commercial legal advice, giving them her full attention and support.

SONY PMW-F55 CINEALTA 4K DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERAJohn Banovich, csc, BFM Producer/DirectorGreen Earth Films
Shoot, Record, Master and Distribute in 4K? Why? Because there are more than 13,000 theaters with Sony Digital Cinema 4K projectors, and a lot more screens with 4K projectors from the other major brands. Sony’s new 84” 4K TV is already on display in Sony stores.
John Banovich from Green Earth Films (http://www.greenearthfilms.net/team.html) will show off the Sony F55, described as one of Sony’s newest modular, compact 4K cameras. Green Earth Films has stayed at the forefront of the digital revolution by investing in tapeless cameras and post-production facilities that accommodate ‘all-digital delivery’. The same ‘green’ principles apply to all their processes - whether the project is intended for a thumbnail-sized internet window or for a 60 foot-wide digital cinema screen.
John from Green Earth Films has extensive experience in the production of documentaries, feature films, television and multi-media and he will be on hand to answer your questions.
