Seminars
In conjunction
with industry service & equipment providers, I.A.T.S.E. Local 667 organizes
a number of seminars throughout the year to allow the I.A.T.S.E. Local 667
membership the opportunity to learn new skills and/or equipment, or to refresh
or enhance their skills. We try to schedule these seminars during times when
production has slowed down in order to optimize attendance and availability
for all interested members.
For the past
few years, annual one-day seminars have been held at rental houses offering
intensive training on all the camera systems (i.e. Arriflex, Aaton, Moviecam,
and Panavision). Special seminars that range from HDTV, Vista Vision to other
specialty equipment have been offered.
In keeping with
the latest technology, we have added HDTV Assisting to our curriculum and
are now developing a seminar for HDTV Technicians. An HDTV information session
for Producers, Directors, ADs and Production Managers is being developed.
In the past
we arranged for tours at the Kodak plant, film processing labs and
post-production
facilities, and this will be continued into the future.
Currently we
are developing seminars for PACE and Hydroflex (underwater camera housing
systems).
In addition
we are currently in the planning stages of designing 2 other new workshops:
- The first
workshop will be geared
to Camera Assistants which will be a very intensive camera testing workshop,
covering such topics as camera registration and lens resolution tests
- The second
workshop will be an information session geared to Producers & Production
Managers outlining procedures and protocol involved in camera and lens testing
The Camera Trainee
program has been revised and enhanced over the years. Currently we have added to the program an instructional clinic on
Darkroom Procedures which will be held at scheduled intervals for Trainees
who are on their 4th to 6th placement. This will be followed at a later date
by a mandatory session on Darkroom Procedures & Mag Loading and must be scheduled
prior to upgrading to 2nd Assistant.
Through our
Member Assistance Program we are coordinating
Wellness Seminars that will include stress management, balancing work and
home, identifying substance abuse and it's effects on everyone.
