Do YOU Want To Learn
Digital Video Filmmaking??
Do YOU Not Want To Spend
Thousands Of Dollars To Do So?
Will YOU be the next big
Feature Film Or Web Series Hit?


I have a simple philosophy: If you want to learn a trade, learn everything that is necessary to succeed at that trade. Sounds absuredly obvious and simple, right? Then why, tell me why, so many of these big so called Film "acadamies" only teach you how to work a film camera, and if they do use a digital cinema camera, why don't they show you more than just how to turn it on and press record?

That's why i put together this 6 hour intensive on the technical aspect of digital video, whether it be for filmmaking, freelancing, home videos or whatnot. You will come out of this course packed with detailed info on the inner workings of digital video cameras. And since experience is just as valuable as knowledge, i interject lots of instances of where things come into play while in the field. I have been around the block enough to have run into numerous situations, which have given me insight as to how one should anticipate working with digital video in different situations. I will share these insights with you and prepare you for the field.

What will you learn in just 6 hours?

Learn in our classroom and studio environment. The theme of these courses is the technical workings of the digital equipment at our disposal in today's industry. Most film schools are stuck in the film days and have not added any technical teachings of today's digital video cameras. This technical knowlesge is crucial for any filmmaker who needs to take full control of the equipement they are using. But we don't just teach what things are and do, more importantly we teach why things work, for instance, why do cameras with bigger sensors have a shallower depth of field? Here's a hint: it's not actually the sensor being bigger that makes the DOF shallower ;) . When you leave this course your head will be stuffed with information, and don't worry about remembering every detail, we give you a detailed cheat sheet of everything you've learned.
