In this day and age\, even the frugal-lest film crews use grip gear like gimbals and sliders for smooth camera movement\, but because of lack of training\, some directors only end up creating fancy shots that take away from the story. \nIn 2017\, Director Steven De Castro developed this class while teaching African filmmakers in three universities in Ghana. These African students learned effective camera movement techniques in a nearly zero-budget environment\, and now you can\, too. Employing the methods of the legendary British film instructor Roy Thompson\, Steve will guide you through the theory of motivated camera movement through exercises and onscreen examples. \n\n\n\nThis is a FREE event\, but you must register in advance.\nClick here to Register\n\n\n\nAbout The Speaker\n\nSteven De Castro\nSteven De Castro is a New York-based cinematographer and professor.
