What You'll Learn
Understanding Cameras
I think as artists understanding how to manually control cameras will elevate our painting and drawing skills even if we don't direct use the photos we take. Just by taking the time to explore the shots and observe the real world will gain us understanding through curiosity. But during this course I will show you everything you need to know about cameras and how to use it as an artistic tool.
Still Life, Portraits, Landscapes and more
I will show you how to craft, light and capture compelling subjects including still life's, portraits, landscapes, macro (tiny things), astrophotography (night shots of stars), and textures to use in your art. This course is amazingly practical to allow you to apply what you learn to your other arts directly.
Videography and Cinematography
As someone who has worked on dozens of films and shows I really wish for my students to explore the realms of storytelling with video and cinema. So we'll start by teaching how to shoot compelling stills and then move on to videography and cinematography. What is the difference you may ask? In my mind videography is capturing life as it is... weddings, trips, events, animals in nature. It's all about how to sort through the chaos of reality to find subjects that are clear and beautiful in motion. Cinematography on the other hand is the craft of manipulating the real world in order to tell a specific story. This is where we bring in actors and lighting gear and make movie scenes and short films. I'll teach it all in this course.
Postproduction and Editing
I will also show what to do with your RAW photos and how to process them in a way that shows their most potential. When we get to video i will also show how to craft scenes.
Making Short Films
The best way to learn to make films is by making films. It's not about sitting in a class, which is ironic as this is a course. But, we're not just going to talk at you, but encourage you to get up from your desk and go make something. Many somethings actually. We'll start simple with just using an available camera like your phone and having just one actor in a single environment with no dialogue. Then we'll move on to more and more advanced shorts and scenes.
Outlining, Planning, Screenwriting, Storyboarding and more
We'll show how to not only shoot films but plan for them. As we made several short films in the production of this course we'll show you all the behind the scenes of how it was made. It's always a wild ride with unexpected twists and turns, and we'll show all of it.
Edit like a Pro
Even if you've never done filmmaking we've crafted this to be accessible to everyone. The editing software is free (Davinci Resolve) and we'll show you how to use all of it and understand processes that are easy enough for beginners but also expandable for professionals. We shot a higher end scene for this course and will not only show you how we did it, but we'll also provide 45 minutes of the footage so that you can experience editing the scene for yourself.
Practical Exercises for Skill Development
Through practical assignments, such as shooting your own films, you'll apply what you've learned in a hands-on manner to cement your skills.
