recording (4:4:4:4 XQ, 4:4:4:4, 4:2:2

opposed to working solely on green- or bluescreen. Enhanced Environments options include Vehicular Amplification, Set Extension and
Mediated Reality. DPS Cinema's fully customizable Enhanced Environments also allow productions to move from daylight to night
environments at the touch of a button.
DPS has also announced the addition of Bobby Finley III to the

than 35 years of experience as a cinematographer, lighting designer,
gaffer and stage technician, with credits including a 20-year tenure
at Industrial Light & Magic.
