Letter from the President Dear Members: Please join me in welcoming four fantastic SOC operators to our Board of Governors: Shanele Alvarez, Scott Dropkin, Simon Jayes, and Lisa Sene. It is my honor to begin my second term as SOC President, alongside 1st Vice President Dave Emmerichs, 2nd Vice President Simon Jayes, Secretary Dan Gold, Treasurer John “Buzz” Moyer, and Sergeant-at-Arms Gretchen Warthen. We are joined by re-elected Governors George Billinger, Mitch Dubin, Geoff Haley, Rachel Levine, Sarah Levy, and Jim McConkey. This is an outstanding group of people and I am both excited and humbled to be among them, leading the SOC into the future.

Matthew Moriarty SOC President

Of course, the state of our industry hasn’t made leadership easy. Many of our members are still either under-employed or out of work entirely and our longtime sponsors are feeling the squeeze as well. In response, we have adjusted our education efforts to emphasize low-cost and/or free events, and we’re staging as many of them as we can, all across the country, staffed by the top camera operators in the business. As always, information about our upcoming events can be found at SOC.org.

So hang in there and remember you’re not alone. We are doing everything we can to inspire you, to remind you why you love what you do and, most importantly, to help you become the best storyteller you can possibly be.

All the best,

Matthew Moriarty

Multimedia Feature Camera Operator spoke with camera operators Brett Hurd, SOC, and Sarah Mulholland, SOC, about seeing this series, which has been so impactful and influential, through to its final moments—from honoring and evolving the series’ cinematic language to shooting slow-burn tension as well as the moments where that tension gives way to explosive action.

After a riot breaks out on the train and the two of them are separated, June joins up with the growing revolutionary movement in Alaska to plan for a final attack against Gilead’s leadership. Meanwhile, Serena finds herself recruited to be the public face of New Bethlehem, Gilead’s supposedly liberalized new settlement, aimed to diffuse international outcry against Gilead’s history of abuses.

With 36 feature films since 2008 (not to mention numerous shorts, mini-series, and TV movies), it’s safe to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been something of a cultural force for the past decade-and-a-half. The downside, however, of such a successful run is that there is increasing risk of the product becoming stale.

2025 SOC Events This has been a landmark year for the Society of Camera Operators, with a record-breaking lineup of events—and the energy shows no signs of slowing down.

In response to the evolving needs of its members and the shifting landscape of the industry, the Education Committee made a bold and thoughtful pivot: moving away from multi-day, technically heavy workshops—often costly for both organizers and attendees— in favor of dynamic one-day and half-day sessions.

These focused gatherings offer accessible, high-impact learning and connection opportunities, ensuring members and the wider community stay inspired and equipped to advance their craft.

True to its mission of elevating the art and craft of camera operating, the SOC also brought its presence to marquee industry events like CineGear and the J.L. Fisher Industry Mixer, hosting lively panel discussions that sparked conversation and creativity.

So, let’s take a moment to look back at the highlights—and get ready for what’s next. With more events on the horizon for 2025, now’s the time to stay connected. Log on to SOC.org and be part of the momentum.

SOC at NAB CineCentral The SOC hosted seven workshops over four days, featuring more than 20 instructors and crew and providing hands-on education to over 110 attendees.

Industry Memories All in All, It’s Just Another Brick in the Wall

by Dan Hammond

At Cine Gear Expo Los Angeles 2025, the J.L. Fisher booth featured something far beyond the usual equipment showcase: a piece of music and film history. The Panavision Panaflex 35mm motion picture camera, serial number 57GII, was on display.

A LEGENDARY CAMERA, A NEW CHAPTER This wasn’t just any camera. It was the A camera used to shoot Pink Floyd: The Wall, the 1982 cinematic adaptation of the band’s iconic concept album. The film was directed by Alan Parker, with cinematography by Peter Biziou and camera operation artfully executed by John Stanier, BSC. On the first morning of the Cine Gear Expo show, Jake Stanier, John’s son, stopped by our booth. I told him we had something special to show him. As I removed the camera cover, I explained that this was the exact camera his father had operated decades earlier. The moment the cloth came off, Jake’s face lit up.

22

The camera had been transformed. Its body, magazine, and eyepiece were engraved and painted with custom artwork inspired by The Wall’s distinctive visuals. This is the story of how that transformation came to be and how it led to an emotional reunion between a legendary camera operator and his camera.

TRACING THE PAST Back in March 2021, while serving as Vice President and General Manager at Panavision Hollywood, I learned that Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, a large-scale immersive exhibition, was opening that fall at the Vogue Theatre. The venue was just a block from our office.

SOCIETY OF CAMERA OPERATORS · SOC.ORG

We moved quickly. I coordinated the loan agreement and logistics, and Po shared his vision: the camera and the Waters image would be displayed in the “Wall” section of the exhibit, an immersive recreation of the stage production complete with props and visuals from the concerts and film.

THE PINK FLOYD CAMERA IS BORN Once the camera returned from the film school, a new idea emerged.

What if the camera was customized to reflect the visual style of The Wall, something that would instantly tie the piece to the film and album.

Roger Waters on the set of PINK FLOYD: THE WALL The exhibition featured a treasure trove of rare Floyd memorabilia.

Items included Nick Mason’s 1968 diary, a 1975 tour rider, tour inflatables, the original masks from the 1980–81 Wall concerts, vintage instruments and recording gear. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to contribute something special and tie it in to the Hollywood community. What if we added the actual camera used to shoot The Wall film?

I began designing the artwork digitally, drawing from the brick motif that defines both the album and the film’s iconic imagery. On the film door, it felt only right to feature “Pink,” the story’s central character, crouched at the base of the wall exactly as he appears in the original artwork.

After researching Panavision’s archives, I identified the camera as PFX-57-GII. At the time, it was on loan to a film school. I contacted the owner of the Vogue Theatre, who liked the idea and connected me with the exhibit’s curators. While waiting for their decision, I searched for behind-the-scenes photos and found a great one: Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters looking through the same camera eyepiece in an MGM press kit photo.

Then came the response I was hoping for. The curators were interested, and I was surprised to see Aubrey “Po” Powell, co-founder of the legendary album cover art design firm Hipgnosis, copied on the thread.

I sent over documentation confirming the serial number, the Waters photo, and images of the camera.

Po’s reply was short and enthusiastic. “Incredible. Yes! How do we make this work?”

Engraver Eddy Vasquez (left) & Painter Wally Yenez Once the layout was finalized, I printed the designs and carefully taped them onto the camera system. From there, our precision engraver Eddy Vasquez laser engraved the artwork into place. Wally Yenez, our skilled in-house painter, then brought it to life by hand painting the bricks, the logo, and the “Pinky” character with meticulous attention to detail.

When I delivered the finished piece to the Vogue, I unveiled it to Po Powell in person. His reaction was immediate. “It’s amazing,” he said, pulling out his phone. He took a photo and texted it to Roger Waters on the spot.

The camera was installed in the “Wall” section of the exhibit, where it remained for the full duration of the Hollywood run.

CAMERA OPERATOR SUMMER 2025

After the exhibition, the Pink Floyd camera returned to Panavision Hollywood, and later moved to the Woodland Hills facility. Then came Cine Gear 2025, where the camera made a new appearance in our J.L. Fisher booth.

23

Once the camera was fully built and mounted on the PanaHead, I called out,“Camera’s ready!”

John stepped up, placed his hands on the wheels, and leaned into the eyepiece, just like he had done during the production of The Wall. After a moment, he looked up and said, “Thank you, Dan, for making this happen.”

Of course, he couldn’t resist. His hands instinctively began to roll the wheels, rehearsing his signature figure-eight camera moves. Jake smiled and said,“Dad, you still got it.”

From left, Jake Stanier, John Stanier, BSC & Dan Hammond When Jake Stanier saw it, he was visibly moved. He FaceTimed his father, John, and showed him the display. On screen, John’s eyes began to well up. “That’s the camera I used to make the movie,” he said.

Seeing how much it meant to John, I looked at Jake and said,“Let’s take it to him. Let him look through it again.”

Jake agreed immediately.

FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND: A CAMERA OPERATOR REUNITES On Saturday, June 14, 2025, which was Father’s Day weekend, Jake and I met at J.L. Fisher to load the Pink Floyd camera package into my truck. We took a two-hour road trip to deliver the camera to John Stanier, BSC. I hadn’t seen him since 2007.

When he opened the door, he greeted us with a warm hug.

“Thank you,” he repeated, again and again. “Getting to see my camera again means the world to me.”

After spending time catching up, we set up the camera outside in his garden. John chose the spot. As Jake and I pulled cases from the truck and began assembling the system, John watched with a huge smile.

Each piece brought back memories. You could see the anticipation building in his eyes. That unmistakable look of a cinematographer preparing to bring the frame to life.

John Stanier, BSC

THE FINAL FRAME Returning a camera to the person who once used it to help shape one of the most surreal and powerful films of the 1980s was a true honor.

Watching John reconnect with the craft he loves in such a personal and meaningful way was a powerful reminder of the lasting impact this industry can have.

This was not just a piece of cinematic equipment. It was a symbol of legacy, collaboration, and memory. For John. For Jake. For me.

All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall.
