Speaker Information:
John D McHugh
Afghanistan - The First Multimedia War
John D McHugh has just returned from Afghanistan (again). But this trip was different. McHugh explains “this was the first time that I was using the same camera to shoot my stills, my video, and record all my audio,” the camera, of course, was the EOS 5D Mark II.
“I have often carried more gear, more weight, on patrols than the soldiers I am reporting on,” says McHugh, “because I work in multimedia. I would have a couple of stills cameras around my neck, a video camera in one hand or on my shoulder, and an audio recorder in my other hand, or taped onto my helmet.” McHugh will show a selection of stills, video, and audio slideshows that he produced in February 2010 in Afghanistan, using only the EOS 5D Mark II. He will also talk about the benefits and challenges of using a single camera for all his work, he will share his thoughts on why he believes multimedia offers so many exciting possibilities to all photographers, not just photojournalists.
Byron Wijayawardena, Pro-Apps Product Specialist Apple (UK) Limited
Byron will be giving an Aperture 3 demo to show how photographers can use the new Slideshow tool with pictures and video as a storyboarding tool, or to create simple narratives using high quality imagery and video, all on Canon cameras of course, and Final Cut Studio Demo to show how you can take your projects to the next level.

Calumet at Focus on Imaging 2010
The stand at Focus on Imaging before the crowds arrived.
An excellent 4 days at Focus - busy throughout the show and a very good result for the vendors we had on the stand - Powerstation, LaCie, Steadicam, Edirol/Roland, Sennheiser, Tiffen DFX, Genus and Calumet Own Brand.
We had printer demos going on using Epson and Canon printers which proved very popular. All the vendors on the stand were kept busy all day everyday providing their pearls of wisdom and tips and tricks on how to get the best use out of their particular pieces of equipment.
Genus were popular with their new HD DSLR rig and the swanky all-in-one ND filters, that can be rotated to produce the desired amount of density - and they are threaded so no need to add clumsy adapters!
We liked the winning Panasonic stand and those of us that got a chance to check out the new 3D TV were very impressed and we were delighted the Bowens stand won a Highly Commended - congrats guys!
Lots and lots of album/image mounting stands at the show this year, seems to be a very cutthroat industry there! Rather a saturated market now we think.
Thank you to everyone who made it onto the stand and supported us, we hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did and look forward to next year!
