The camera and lighting equipment used in student productions and courses of ELO Department of Film are coordinated in Aalto Studios Takeout. Cinematographers compile their camera and lighting lists and send them to cinema-takeout at aalto.fi.
Studios Takeout faculty creates the bookings and resolves all the overlapping requests, collects the equipment ready for the production teams’ check and preparation day, is present in the preparation to assist with going over the equipment and to make sure productions have every item they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tight scheduling and resources create challenges in supplying each production with the equipment they need, which is why we request productions to send us their preliminary lists as soon as possible. This will help us map out the calendar and better serve information to all students about the availability of our equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment is booked by sending us the list as an email attachment. While equipment is booked by cinematographers, please keep producers included in these email chains.
Links to the available equipment are on the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production Name – Number \/ Workflow test<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Production sends us two separate lists as an email attachment, one for camera equipment, one for lighting equipment. The lists need to include the following details in the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
