In this month’s WorkPrint, DP Kevin A. Fraser tells us about his time shooting TIN CAN, fresh off its FIN award win for Best Atlantic Cinematography. Plus AFCOOP’s Abner Collette takes us through the trade-offs of 1080p vs. 4K!
AFCOOP acknowledges that we are located in Kjipuktuk in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaw, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaw and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all treaty people.
