Most perceived barriers to professional-quality video production don’t really exist. You can produce high-quality work even with limited financial resources. In the Field Production workshop, we focus on ease, affordability and resourcefulness in professional-quality video production.
The Field Production workshop takes students into the process of cinematography, lighting and audio. With a focus on the manual controls available through larger 3-chip DV cameras, such as the Canon XL1, this class is intended for individuals who either already have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of video production or who have never even touched a camera before! Learn how to use manual shutter speed, iris, focus, and audio like a pro to get the highest quality video possible. Upon completion of this class DOM members will be certified to use the advanced digital video cameras (Canon XL-1), lighting and audio equipment available through DOM free of charge to make their own shows and films for our channels.*
