The New Zealand Cinematographers Society, in association with Film Queenstown Lakes and Queenstown Camera Company is delighted to bring our Professional Development Masterclasses into the regions! After many requests, we are staging an Introductory Camera/Lighting for Drama workshop in Queenstown for those within the Otago/Southland area. The tutor will be cinematographer Donny Duncan NZCS. Places will be limited to 20 participants, so first-in-first-served.
This will be an intensive one-day Masterclass, looking at the basic building blocks of Cinematography for Drama on projects like web series, short films, TV series and feature films.
This course will appeal to a wide range of intermediate experience levels including OPC camera operators looking at widening their experience, camera assistants on the move up, directors/producers wanting inside knowledge about the craft and students keen on entering the industry.
The program will include hands-on demos with the most recent camera systems, practical overview of current lighting technology, cinematography theory, tips, tricks and insights from Donny’s career experience accompanied by stills and video excerpts.
