Mo-Sys to sponsor ASC Awards

Mo-Sys to preview revolutionary lens focusing solution at virtual ASC Awards event

Mo-Sys is proud to sponsor the 35th Annual ASC Awards event based in Hollywood and will reveal a unique lens focusing solution for LED volumes to the attendees.

The innovative, patent-pending solution will be detailed at the online cinematography gathering, ahead of its official launch on Monday 19th April.

Primarily known in Hollywood for precision remote heads and their StarTracker camera tracking system, Mo-Sys has invested considerable resources solving major challenges when shooting with LED volumes. The new solution will change how LED projects are currently shot, offering greater creative freedom to Cinematographers in terms of shot selection.

“Shooting in an LED volume offers significant advantages to production companies, that’s clear. But to date LED volumes still have challenges that limit Cinematographers compared to shooting on a traditional set. These are the challenges that Mo-Sys is addressing, starting with this unique focusing solution.”

Erica Manni, Sales Manager West Coast, Mo-Sys USA

A small contingent of the Mo-Sys team will be present at the event, ready to chat with interested Cinematographers about the new focusing solution, and their experiences of shooting in LED volumes.

“This new focusing technology, part of a larger Mo-Sys development of innovative cinematic LED solutions, will allow Cinematographers and Directors to use the full range of traditional shots they’re used to, enabling them to merge virtual and real elements into one seamless shooting environment."

Mike Grieve, Commercial Director, Mo-Sys
