COURSE #1 – CINEMATOGRAPHY – TAKING COMMAND OF THE CRAFT – FROM RECORDER TO CREATOR.

Posted by draperacs on

 

If you are a cinematographer on a plateau, an aspiring cinematographer or a student of cinematography you should take a look at my new online course.

Over a 40 year career I have seen and worked in film, video , HD and Digital. In many cases I helped in the development of the camera systems and filmstocks. All that gives me a pretty good insight into what you need as a Cinematographer to deliver innovative and creative work.

Setting up individual, great looking shots is easy but developing and maintaining lighting continuity and a strong visual style require a special understanding and set of skills.

This course teaches that. CLICK HERE to take a look at the course website.

I have been using the techniques for many years and have “taught” them, in workshops to more than 3000 DP’s worldwide.
