to more than 3000 cinematographers.
Barbara, H (Director of Photography) - NYC, USA
“His approach is totally unusual and not at all what I expected. My first thought was why do I need this, but I learned more about the art of my profession and how to structure my approach to future projects, than in my previous 20 years”

So What is Different about this Course?
“unlike any cinematography course you have done before"
The difference with this course is it focuses on the ART of cinematography by applying the most critical part of the technology to the creative process. All without getting bogged down in technicalities.
It avoids long discussions of camera’s, lenses, data rates, storage, camera support and post by explaining precisely what is needed for creative cinematography and then showing each participant how to apply that knowledge to their craft.
No more imitating what others are doing. You will have the knowledge and understanding to create your own vision with YOUR signature.
It clearly defines how Cinematographers can mould themselves as artists, not technicians.
