DESCRIPTION
There’s a reason why photographers from Henrí Cartier-Bresson to Robert Frank, Stanley Kubrick and others tried their hands at film making — and why so few stuck with it. It’s the same reason some filmmakers (most notably Oskar Barnack, inventor of the Leica) chose photography instead. Filmmaking is MUCH more complicated than photography - and a LOT more work.
But the digital era and the rise of YouTube have profoundly altered the equation, the rewards of making motion pictures are extraordinary — and photographers have a head start on everyone else.
If you want to learn about camera and lens selection for video, audio, lighting, dynamic camera movement, scripting, being in front of the camera instead of behind it, working with a second shooter, editing, music selection, how to leverage social media, the economics of YouTubeing and – most importantly – finding your unique voice and your “tribe” in an ever-more crowded space, this workshop is for you.
Join us for two-days in New York City where you will actually shoot, edit and post a video to YouTube - and launch your foray into the world of “content creation.”
ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hugh fell in love with photography the moment he held a Kodachrome slide up to the light for the very first time. He was 7. He built his first darkroom by the age of 12. Worked in a camera store by the age of 14. By 16, he was running the photography program at a summer camp in Maine. But life has a way of intruding, and Hugh’s path into adulthood was academia, the corporate world and start-ups.
Fortunate enough to retire early, he rediscovered photography, added screenwriting and filmmaking - and has embraced the power of YouTube and Instagram. His love for and knowledge of the art are clear; his enthusiasm, infectious.
