Description:

The Pocono Mountain Workshops were established as a way to give film and Video professionals, as well as new-combers to the field, the opportunity to learn just how to establish a great production look for any program, regardless of the camera format or capture medium.

The Camera workshops are taught with a cinematic approach as a way to bridge the Film Look to Video (HD) capture gap. The workshop will delve into composing a shot for design and the psychology of the frame. Other topics include focal lengths along with the cinematic movement of the camera and what the move means. We will block and shoot a theatrical scene in order to experience common mistakes when shooting a small feature.

These NO BULL-NO FLUFF workshops will teach you what feature film DP's have known for years as we apply the same techniques for use with video (HD) formats. The weekend workshops are designed to give you as much experience as possible in the time frame allotted, so come prepared to work! The workshops are held in the studio at Tom Musto Productions Inc.

Other workshop topics include aspect ratios, lens focal lengths & depth-of-field, coverage and continuity and what they mean to a scene. The weekend is an intense journey into how the camera works as an extension of the creative film/video making process and is designed for the serious video/film maker.
