American Photographic Artists (APA), An Alliance of Advertising & Media Professionals

This is a week-long course for photographers looking to expand into using Digital SLRs like the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 7D for filmmaking. We’ll cover all the basics of shooting a scene, and then the workflow for bringing video footage from the DLSR into Final Cut Pro for editing. We will go over the difference between using hot lights and strobes, and using moving camera techniques. We’ll shoot a scene with professional actors and learn how to work with them to get great performances for fiction or non-fiction. Finally, we’ll cover all aspects of audio recording for video.

Prerequisite: Knowledge of all aspects of photography and having a solid working knowledge of the photography business. We will not spend any time on things like basic composition and elements of photography that a working professional should be familiar with. The reason is to provide the ability to dive into this topic as quick and as deep as possible. You do not have to have experience in Final Cut Pro or working with video on a DSLR as they will be the main focus of the workshop. All CDIA graduates meet the requirements.
