Pro Video + Pro Photo = ProFusion 2011

That’s right! In addition to an ever-expanding number of Pro Video exhibitors & seminars, ProFusion 2011 will be broadening its scope to include the complimentary world of Pro Photography, creating a blissful marriage of digital mediums.

This means that ProFusion 2011 will be TWICE as big (literally!) as last year’s event!

Now, who would want to miss that?

Stay tuned for more in-depth details… coming SOON!

Congratulations Shiva Pararam!

ProFusion Presents: John Filomena talks to Rod Aaron from Rotolight!

ProFusion in Marketnews’ Here’s How!

Marketnews was there — were you? Check out what Gordon Brockhouse had to say about our inaugural event:

The weather in the Greater Toronto Area on the last weekend of spring was gorgeous, but that didn’t keep local videographers from heading indoors to take in the ProFusion 2010 Pro Video Expo. The two-day event was held at the Toronto Congress Centre on June 18 and 19, and produced by Toronto-based Vistek Ltd. After the show, Vistek President Ron Silverstein told Marketnews that over 2,000 people attended the event.

Sliverstein said the idea for a pro video show had been germinating at Vistek over the past couple of years, after VP Kevin Parker and other members of the management team attended NAB conventions in the U.S. “We thought it would be good for these manufacturers to talk to our customers,” Sliverstein said, “but there is no venue for this.” Six months ago, Vistek began early preparatory work on the project, and intensive work began about four months ago.

Rotolight RL48-A ‘Stealth’ LED Ringlight at Profusion 2010

Rotolight RL48-A ‘Stealth’ LED Ringlight Revolutionizes HD-DSLR Cinematography at Profusion 2010

New ‘Rotolight Stand’ Mount gives HD-DSLR users a HD ringlight that provides the ideal solution for both HD-Cinematography and Photography.  Profusion also sees launch of world’s most portable, self-contained 2-light ‘Rotolight Interview Lighting Kit’ with Color FX Filters.

Toronto, June 2010: Profusion 2010 saw Rotolight’s Canadian launch of the upgraded RL48-A LED Ringlight and Rotolight stand. Featuring soft, natural and ‘shadowless’ continuous light output, as well as an expanded operating range of studio accurate colour temperatures, Rotolight has proved to be a huge hit with cinematographers using the next generation of HD-DLSRs.  The RL48-A was described by the British Journal of Photography in its ‘Ultimate Guide to HD-DSLR Accessories’ (June 2010) as “an ideal solution” for HD-DSLR Photography, being “surprisingly low cost… and good colour quality“ .    Having perfect colour & ease of use in a lightweight, highly portable package is a huge advantage.    Being able to mount the ringlight below a matte box, over a shotgun mic or an accessory shoe, on a spare tripod or via an articulated arm gives the DSLR user a superb lighting solution for any shoot.

A Big ProFusion THANK YOU!

We would like to send out a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you who attended the first-ever ProFusion Pro Video Trade Expo this past weekend and helped to make it a resounding success!

The Toronto Congress Centre was jumping with activity right from the word go – and things didn’t slow down until we closed the doors Saturday evening. Between the jam-packed Trade Show Floor (our vendors must have laryngitis after talking to SO many people!) and our wildly successful seminars (we had to move two events to larger rooms in order to accommodate everyone who wanted to attend) – it’s safe to say that ProFusion 2010 was nothing short of a hit!

And for anyone who missed out on the excitement – worry not: next year will be bigger & even better!
