Filmmaking Masterclasses 2012 – cinema5D $50 promo links

They’ve done it before and they’re doing it again: An ever evolving filmmaking workshop held by renown filmmakers Philip Bloom, Nino Leitner and Sebastian Wiegärtner

When?
It’s only about two weeks until the first Filmmaking Masterclass in 2012 is going to take place in Las Vegas and few days later in Key West, Florida. After that they’ll kick it again in June: Mallorca, Spain.

What is it?
The Filmmaking Masterclass is a unique kind of workshop. Three full days. Intensive hands-on shooting. Exclusive locations. You MAKE a film!

The tutors will teach you the intricate details of practical shooting in a truly unique setting.

It’s about getting the best out of your equipment, but especially developing your skills. It’s about techniques, which cannot be learned from a book or the Internet.

Philip Bloom
There is hardly anyone doing more camera workshops than Philip Bloom – he is constantly traveling the world, sharing his knowledge.

So it is pretty remarkable Philip said of last year’s Majorca Masterclass, “Seriously best workshop ever. Theory, shooting and post. Had such fun. Thanks to everyone. Six great films!!”

“Shooting with DSLRs really is a different way of working if you are coming from traditional video or even photography backgrounds. One has to work around these cameras’ quirks in order to reach their huge potential, which can result in images that are practically indistinguishable from shooting on film stock. In terms of practical on-set work, it is more similar to working with a film camera than a traditional video camcorder, and this definitely has to be trained.

I will teach you everything you need to know about these cameras, and more importantly, how to use them properly and efficiently in different set situations. You will learn the gear inside and out! The workshops are sponsored by Carl Zeiss Lenses, Genus, Letus DSLR, Kessler Crane, Denz. You can use all the gear of these great companies and try them out in different set situations.”
