St Kilda Film Festival swung around once again this year - this time to celebrate its 30th year. As in previous years Lemac was there on opening night and also to partake in the industry open day at the wonderful Astor Theatre.

Throughout May and June Lemac was proud to supply and support the hugely successful and educational Geoff Boyle (FBKS) RAW Workshops - an ACS special event presented in six 6 cities across Australia.

Having recently completed a 22-minute short film shot on Red Epic, we take a moment to look at Charlie's work over the past couple of years while he has worked at Lemac.

Shot in tropical north Queensland on Lemac's Aaton Xterá cameras, Jonathan M. Shiff's new family drama "Reef Doctors" premieres this Sunday on 10.

After a series of fantastic NAB Review events for the ACS & SMPTE, we have now uploaded our 2013 NAB reel to Vimeo for all to see. A big thankyou to all those who attended the nights in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and contributed to the interesting discussions about the latest in motion picture technology. In all we screened to well over 250 people from the industry and had a good chinwag on the way.

The Silver Workshop is a syllabus evolved over the last 20 years to enable rapid instruction, and is for students with existing camera experience looking to expand their career options by adding stabilisation operation to their armory.

A Place to Call Home, the Seven Network’s upcoming television drama starring Noni Hazlehurst and created by Bevan Lee and the producers of Packed to the Rafters and Winners & Losers, is the first Australian series to be shot exclusively with Sony’s flagship F65 4K camera.

Sony’s new PMW-F5 and F55 cameras are now available to rent from Lemac. Combined with Lemac’s vast rentals fleet including new PL-mount 35mm glass from Canon (30-105mm T2.8 Cinema Zoom) and Zeiss (70-200mm T2.9 Compact Zoom), filmmakers have more options than ever before.
