From photographer to filmmaker: filming with DSLR & mirrorless cameras

VIDEO BASICS COURSE

Films with modest resources and maximum impact!

In this 1–2 day film workshop, we cover every element of professional filmmaking step by step. How do I configure my camera settings? Which lenses and equipment work best for each scene? How do I structure, shoot, and edit a story? And how do I achieve that genuine cinematic look? Together, we will plan, shoot, and edit a short film.
