Professional Camera Techniques - by a working pro

What You Will Learn!

NOTE! This classic course in camera use was created in 2006. The equipment used is not the latest. But this is NOT an equipment based course. It is informative, conceptual and hopefully motivational. The equipment gets better every day, but the visual concepts remain the same.
You will finally understand the difference between wide angle and telephoto lenses - beyond the obvious. You will understand when to use each to achieve spectacular results, and beautiful graphics.
You will learn shots, tricks and techniques that you will use every day of your career.
You will learn how to use close-ups and cutaways.
You will learn how to produce airworthy TV commercials on a local budget.
You will learn how to use silhouettes and smoke.
You will get a solid understanding about how to get good sound, including the mikes and gear you need.
You will learn how to setup and shoot night exteriors, so that they look beautiful and professional.
You will get dozens of tips that can only be learned from years on the set or from someone who has already been there and is willing to teach you.

Description

You won't find a rehash of all the things you can learn everywhere else; the Rule of Thirds, Histograms and basic composition. No, they are not here, and you've heard all that stuff many times before. You need something different than the usual garbage. Something that will set you apart.

I will teach you how to use that camera as an artist vs. a "snapshooter". The techniques, tips and professional tricks that I teach are things that you will use every working day. Study this course and your footage will never be the same.

This is not so much a "how-to" as a motivational look at how a successful cinematographer thinks. You will be encouraged to experiment in many ways, and broaden your cinematic experience.

And you will be urged to have FUN! And to make unique imagery for the amazement of your clients and enjoyment of your public.
