Join us at Canon Burbank for brunch, lighting presentations, hands-on gear testing, and networking across all departments!

Lighting is at the heart of visual storytelling and the cinematic image. It sets the tone, builds the mood, and defines the world your characters live in. This knowledge is essential for everyone on set, from camera and producing to directing, design, sound, and post.

You’ll put Canon’s latest cinema cameras—the EOS C400, C80, and C50—through their paces. You’ll also test Profoto’s newest cinema fixtures in a hands-on production environment.
