Experience Aputure lighting up close. Meet the brand-new NOVA 9° and NOVA II, powered by the BLAIR Light Engine, the next evolution in high-output LED panels.

Our moderator will chat with the Cinematographer and CLT of hit HBO Series, The Pitt. Our conversation will focus on lighting the ER of The Pitt and capturing the chaos of such a high stress environment of Season 1 and 2. We will dive into camera and lighting workflows, unique challenges of the shoot, and fun never-before-heard stories from life on set of The Pitt.

Today’s creators aren’t choosing between “the big screen” and “the second screen” - they’re working across both. This panel explores how visual storytelling shifts across platforms and formats, and how three very different filmmakers pursue the same goal: crafting compelling images for a media landscape that’s rapidly reshaping traditional production, distribution, and viewing habits. From a 30-second vertical reel to a full cinematic sequence, we’ll examine what changes, what stays the same, what creators can borrow from each space, and what it all signals about the future of filmmaking.

Come visit us at SXSW this year! We will be hosting 2 incredible panels on Saturday March, 14th as well as the Film and Television Happy Hour on Sunday March 15th. Hope to see you there!
