GTC To Present 2010 Awards At BFI Southbank

The Guild of Television Cameramen (GTC) will shortly be celebrating this year's best TV camera-work as nominated by those who really know good camera-work when they see it - television cameramen.
GTC Awards are the only awards recognising excellence in television camera-work where the nominees are recommended entirely by their peers. The GTC Awards ceremony will be held on Tuesday September 28 at 18.00 at BFI Southbank, London SE1 8XT.
GTC Awards for Excellence categories are:
  • Drama
  • Factual
  • Entertainment
  • Multi-camera (studio or OB)
  • Extreme conditions
  • Innovation in shooting
  • Natural history
  • Sport
Preceding the event, the GTC will deliver two Talkback seminars for Guild of TV Cameramen members. These include:

3D Giving a New Dimension (14.00 to 15.30)
An introduction to this years hot topic, 3D television, from cameraman Alister Chapman. This will include a discussion of 3D technology, camera rigs and ways of shooting 3D television, human depth perception, convergence and interaxial distance, and presenting the stereoscopic image.

How to Get More Work (15.45 to 17.00)
Tips from the experts and employers on how to promote and present yourself in order to improve your chances of landing more work. Joe Mahoney of Production Base, Donall McCusker from the Production Managers Association and Stuart Hatton of The Crewing Company are the invited speakers.

Owen Roberts will also be in attendance with his Steadicam Pilot. Members are invited to ask questions and get in the rig to get the feel of some of Steadicam's latest technology. The Pilot is specifically designed for light weight television cameras.
The GTC and its sponsors will also be out and about in the BFI throughout the afternoon. Sponsor companies will set up their stands in the Atrium and Foyer areas of the BFI.
