ONE-DAY WORKSHOP
THE CONVERGENCE FACTOR: What You Need to Know About Shooting Motion With the Canon 5D Mark II and 7D with VINCENT LaFORET
Vincent LaForet has been at the forefront of the convergence of stills and motion since the Canon 5-D Mark II first made its debut last year.
The first part of the day will involve a basic introduction to HDDSL video (High-Definition Digital Single Lens Reflex); it’s advantages, challenges and basic film theory for photographers transitioning into motion. The group will be broken into two separate groups, each of whom will shoot the same theme and get hands-on experience with the hybrid camera systems as well as many accessories (made by such companies as Marshall Electonics, Redrock Mico, Micro-dolly and IDX). Each group will essentially shoot a short film. Everyone will have a chance to direct and operate the camera and fulfill the roles that are part of the average narrative production. This is what you’ll need to learn in order to create short film products for websites and client’s other promotional efforts. LaForet will then discuss post-production workflow- Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, converting footage and doing a basic edit of the film as well as a final section in grading the footage (color correction).
This workshop is going to be an incredible introduction to this fascinating new opportunity.
Thursday, April 1. 9:00am – 4:00pm
