ICG President Steven Poster, ASC, Finds Cinemills Cinesoft an Effective Tool

Steven Poster, ASC

"Now that I am almost done with this episode of what I know is going to be a fantastic series, I have one more day, I have to say that the Cinesofts have been a very effective tool for us," Poster wrote while in production in Canada.

Cinemills was very excited to hear the latest testimonial from one of Hollywood's top cinematographers, International Cinematographers Guild president,  Steven Poster, ASC.

Poster wrote, "The broad, soft quality and the punch of the light makes it a terrific tool for this new era of shooting at higher acceptable exposure indexes. The Cinesoft becomes a "big Light" in these circumstances, without much footprint and without much power needed. That's important."

Cinemills first met with Steven Poster, in Cinegear 2012, at the Paramount Studios. He was discussing with the team about the up-coming project he had that was going to be filmed in Canada.
