WORKSHOP CLASSES

Get a solid grounding in the professional use of digital video equipment. This two-day intensive course provides a small class with hands-on tuition and essential techniques for improving footage.

A variety of shooting scenarios will illustrate how to get better coverage, achieve good lighting and make the best sound choices (from a range of techniques and equipment). These workshops will help students fine-tune their camera operation and adapt to different situations. They will help build the confidence necessary to think beyond the technology and concentrate on the story at hand.

COST OF TUITION

$600 (plus GST) for two days

PLEASE HURRY

Places are limited with, typically, only a dozen students per workshop. This ensures each student gains sufficient hands-on practice and individual attention.

While Tony and Leo demonstrate techniques across a variety of equipment, students are encouraged to bring their own cameras (and tapes!).

The CameraClass Manual, a 90 page camera and sound manual, is included in workshop registration.

ONE-ON-ONE TUITION IS AVAILABLE

One-to-one courses have been popular recently, particularly as many upgrade to the new HDV cameras and need to familiarise themselves with the technology. One-to-one tuition is the most efficient way to brush-up quickly and is ideal for filmmakers gearing up for new projects.

The Camera Class one-to-one courses can be tailored to your particular needs, allowing you to concentrate on the equipment and skills you most desire, skipping aspects of a more general course that may not be required. For experienced operators upgrading to HDV, a half-day of one-on-one tuition may sufficient. Please call for rates.

WE ALSO HAVE CLASSES FOR CORPORATE GROUPS

At the Camera Class we also have experience in running courses for private or corporate groups (small or large) with particular needs. Past clients include ABC-TV and the South Australian Film Corporation.

However groups may not necessarily be from broadcast or film industries. Digital video is increasingly used for various applications in a wide range of industries including anthropology, health, history, and community affairs.

Group tuition can be very cost effective. For example, the cost of a one-day course for four people can be as low as $300 per person. So please call to discuss the needs of your particular group. Classes for groups can be tailored from basic to advanced principles and can help participants brush up on any particular problem areas.
