Following the survey ”Requests to manufacturers”, the IMAGO Technical Committee (ITC) is pleased to present the analysis of this survey. The ITC wants to thank the 597 cinematographers, filmmakers, post-production managers/supervisors, colorists, DIT’s, AC’s who gave their inputs through more than 12000 answers on several important proposals designed to simplify the situation they are currently facing.

The ITC thinks that this database will be helpful to establish stronger links with camera manufacturers and colour grading companies.

We are also pleased to inform you that many camera manufacturers and colour grading companies will follow the ITC’s invitation to a panel discussion at Camerimage.
ARRI, SONY, PANAVISION, PANASONIC, CANON, RED & FILMLIGHT confirmed their attendance.

We will discuss, without an audience, several selected questions and proposals contained in this survey and imagine together a way to improve the work of our community.
We hope that it will be the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between Imago and the manufacturers in the future.
