My focus is centered on West Africa with particular focus on Nigeria reputed to be the third largest producer of films globally. Films are predominantly shot on video, which footages downloaded and edited on Adobe premier Cs3 and very lately final cut. the emergence of the the canon EOS series, Panasonic P2 and JVC HD PRO has futher enhanced the shooting formats with producers and home grown cinematographers abandoning the SONY DSR series for the emergent smaller and less cumbersome cameras.
