SOC MEMBER NEWS ARRI Academy Interview w/ Art Adams ARRI Academy offers a wide range of training courses to help users of all abilities to gain hands-on knowledge of ARRI products and workflows and build their on-set confidence. We sat down with Art Adams, an experienced camera operator and DP, to talk about the upcoming ARRI Camera Classes. Q: Tell us about your background and why you decide to work with ARRI and become an Academy instructor? I’ve worked in the camera department for over 30 years—first as a loader/second camera assistant, then as a first assistant, operator, second unit DP and first unit DP. At this point most of my work has been in broadcast and web commercials and marketing, as well as visual effects, but I started out in features and episodic TV and also spent some time in broadcast television. I spent my first ten years in Southern California, and when I left I thought I’d never shoot film again. I had no idea that my years spent shooting video would pay off so well. When those worlds merged, I was better prepared than most. Click here to read the full interview...
