Unlock the secrets of DSLR filmmaking!
When you watch a movie at the theater these days, what you might not know is that a lot of these films are being shot on DSLR cameras, the ones used primarily to take still pictures. Small, light, and easy on the pocket, independent filmmakers and even famous directors are increasingly picking up DSLRs to shoot with. From features to ad films, music videos and documentaries, the HD video feature on prosumer cameras are increasingly becoming an alternative to bigger, more expensive cameras. Amol Gupte’s feature film Stanley ka Dabba, Ram Gopal Varma’s Not a Love Story and parts of Shor in the City were all shot on Canon DSLRs. In the USA, it is being used to film features, TV series and talk shows. International Film Festival Ahmedabad in association with Deep Focus brings you the DSLR Filmmaking Workshop. This workshop will demonstrate HDSLR filmmaking techniques, tips and tricks. We cover various aspects of production, from choosing a camera, manual settings, types of lenses, DSLR accessories, sound recording, stabilization, etc. We also give you tips for post-production, from working with H.264 files, conversion, syncing sound, etc. The workshop will be conducted by award-winning filmmaker Tascha Eipe and cinematographer Premal Raval. Tascha Eipe has lived and worked in many countries, including India, the Middle East, Singapore, South Korea, Egypt, and the Philippines, which has given her a great insight into the film industry around the world. An award-winning filmmaker, Tascha has worked at Nirvana Films, YashRaj, Fashion TV Asia, and has directed shows for a travel channel. She has recently jumped onto the 'DSLR filmmaking’ bandwagon, and now runs Deep Focus, her own production company. She loves scuba diving and also does some underwater filming. Who should attend: Any students or filmmakers who want to improve their knowledge and handling of DSLR cameras. Cinematographers and camera operators interested in the new wave of HDSLR technology.
