9:00PM - 9:30PM - "The Making of Harbinger Down" - Benjamin L. Brown
“Harbinger Down” is a practical creature effects film including miniatures, and a “love letter to the monster films of the 80’s.” While options abound for digital cinema cameras, Benjamin chose the 2.5K Blackmagic Cinema Camera for principal photography, and the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K, Pocket Cinema Camera and URSA were also used on this project. Benjamin will be discussing why he chose the cameras and how he shot this project. Workflow, challenges and results will be discussed and viewed.
 About Benjamin L. Brown
Benjamin L. Brown became a Cinematographer through the circuitous route of music. With his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music, he started in the film industry as a mixer and composer. Always wanting to learn more, Benjamin started shooting and editing video projects and developed the ability to see how picture and sound can be used together to create stories. His abilities as a one-stop shop give him the ability to truly immerse the viewer inside the world of motion pictures.
With his sights set on becoming a filmmaker rather than merely a technician, Benjamin began shooting, editing and producing industrials and short films. He developed a philosophy of total self-reliance that proves you don’t need a bloated budget in order to make a highly visual film. Harbinger Down is Benjamin’s first feature as both Director of Photography and Editor, and his no-nonsense, high-impact style is on full display.
