The country’s top cinematographers such as Santosh Sivan, Kiran Deohans and Alphonse Roy, will feature in these webinars, and dish out nuances of cinematography with OTT content being in vogue during the lockdown.
C Sukumaran, Director of Consumer System Products and Imaging Communication Products, said, “Consumers are extremely delighted with the ongoing webinars, and we have received an amazing response so far. The lockdown has given a rise to the consumption of OTT and digital content, and we believe that this has also led to curiosity around the use of cinema cameras.”
