The Art of camera movement
There is a lot more to aerial cinematography than simply flying a drone. Actually, flying is the easy part.
Are you confused about fstops, or dynamic range?
And what's a shallow depth of field anyway?
We designed this workshop to build the foundation for great cinematography. We will discuss the camera manual settings and how to achieve proper exposure. Using real work examples we'll look at how to use camera movement to convey emotions, direct viewers' attention, and tell better stories.
Every attendee will have the opportunity to fly a drone and apply what we discuss during our morning and afternoon hands on sessions. You will fly with an expert standing next to you, giving you one on one instructions. Each session will give you 7 minutes of time in the air, to practice the techniques discussed.
We have also incorporated a 1 hour session regarding FAA rules and regulations to learn about the latest regulations around flying drones. We'll share some of our tips when asking for different waivers.

Pushing the Boundaries
Are you ready to not just dream about a complex shot, but actually implement it?
Are you looking to push creativity to the max?
Ready to break the "rules" of how to use a camera?
And who came up with those rules anyway?
We designed this workshop to push the equipment to its creative limits. We will discuss long exposure, slow shutter, high and low frame rate. Using real work examples we'll look at how to create complex yet smooth multi axes camera movement to capture shots that will captivate your audience, and make your work stand out.
