KOREA LAB designed a practical MV shooting section based on the local K-Pop culture. Through the perfect collaboration of APUTURE Lighting Controlling System, C-MOTION Wireless Follow Focus System, and ATLAS' brand new MERCURY Anamorphic Lens, operators experienced hands-on training with TRINITY for authentic dual-camera shooting, and discovered broader possibilities and unlimited potential within their careers.
MBC 문화동산, the training venue of Korea LAB is a captivating film industry park and cultural haven nestled in Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. This dynamic venue serves as the dedicated film set for renowned dramas like ’Dae Jang Geum (대장금),‘ ’Heo Jun (허준),‘ and ’Sangdo (상도).‘ In this exceptional production venue, we provide convenient living services and extensive training field, including using our custom-designed Rickshaw specifically for stabilizer operators, developed in collaboration with MOVMAX.
In Korea LAB we retained and expanded the online lectures sections with 6 master operators. They share various topics with the operators with their personal experiences and knowledges, including how their career got started, how to work with the directors, the DP and the camera crews, what to wear and how to keep themselves safe on set and more.
With equipment provided by DAYPAY and CINEMALL, and technical support from partners such as SMART SYSTEM, C-MOTION, MOVMAX, ATLAS, VAXIS, and APUTURE, Korea LAB offers operators a wide range of equipment choices. Manufacturer partners showcased the practical applications of their advanced technologies, including their lighting systems, Rickshaw, and Cinefade, across various shooting scenarios. Additionally, they provided classroom lectures for detailed explanations and demonstrations of these technologies.
In addition to online mentors such as Oscar-winning camera operator Ari Robbins, SOC, Peter Cavaciuti, ACO, and SOC CAMERA OPERATOR OF THE YEAR winner Neal Bryant, SOC, Dong-joo Kim, the camera operator of the 92nd Academy Awards Best Picture winner PARASITE, also visited TRINITY LAB in person.
