"Rodney Charters ASC CSC - the son of a still photographer from New Zealand who studied Film at the Royal College of Art in London and who spent 15 years as documentary filmmaker. For the last 15 years he has worked as a drama director and cinematographer shooting features and television in Hollywood. He is currently the Emmy nominated cinematographer on the Fox Hit Series 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland. Rodney has shot film or tape in over 59 countries.

Rodney will demonstrate some of the tools which he adopted on his recent trip to North Korea where he was able to shoot with a RED (very appropriately) in the capital of Pyongyang. He will also discuss comparative tests that he did 9 months ago on the set of 24, between the 35 mm Panaflex XL and a Prototype of the 5DmMKII (with the help of a support system from Red Rock Micro). He will also talk about how he was able to use 5DMKII's on a pilot for CBS entitled Washington Field where they integrated well with the RED and his experience shooting drama on the Genesis Sony F35,900, PD150, EX3, and the Red One.
