Canon Workflow Event Dublin, sponsored by Wacom
Giant recently took part in the Canon Professional Services Workflow event held in the Guinness Store House in Dublin. This event was one not to be missed and our trusty Wacom Intous 4’s and Cintiq 21″ screens were there to learn and play with.
For those of you that have a Canon professional camera – the experts were at hand to take you through everything needed to get the most out of it.
I have posted below some of the photos from the 2 days but there were over 2000 images taken and well over 13gb of HD video content shot. So not all is going on this blog.
One photo that was taken by myself on the day (with an iPhone 3g) is below. We are calling for all catchphrase lovers out there to send us you best catchprhase (NOT RUDE) We might even organise a prize for the best.
In case you are wondering, David was talking about lighting & flash settings
Before you look at the rest of the photos below…remember…its all work and no play…or did i get that right…
Topics covered on the day are listed below:
- basic principles of shooting video
- A practical field trip around the Storehouse
- low light capabilities and depth of field features of shooting on a SLR
- capture, editing and processing stages (key points and issues around standard definition and HD recording)
- key software packages (Photoshop CS5, Premiere Pro CS5, Encore and After Effects and Final Cut Studio)
- output formats
- producing video for different mediums (web, TV etc.)
- Canon Speedlites, adjust functionality in camera and an in-depth overview of the system
- Basic principles of studio lighting – from setup to ratios, positioning of lights and accessories (the use of softboxes, snoots etc)
- RAW processing
- output, print/web/video
- and lots more…..

Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes. The eyes. The eyes. Not around the eyes. Don’t look around my eyes. Look into my eyes… You’re under … You do not need to go to the toilet.
Camera man: “you can’t look as Chuck Norris is here and no one can look at him in the eyes only he can upon request.”
Model: “why?”
Camera man: “because Chuck can get anyone pregnant just by looking at them”
”Here! Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the hand of invisibility, Look!…oh…it’s faulty….”
