Course details

Photo superstar Ben Long is back, but this time he's focusing on the video capabilities of DSLR cameras. This project-oriented course follows Ben as he shoots, edits, and delivers a short promo video for friend and actor Stephen Kearin. He concentrates on creative composition during filming, and then returns to the editing booth to show how shot footage gets put together. The end product combines performance and interview footage (taken with multiple cameras) to tell a short, compelling story and help Stephen sell tickets, while illustrating important concepts like sense of space, passage of time, and the montage to aspiring filmmakers like you.

    Being Long in short creates luxury. Ben Long takes us to a long journey through enriching shots turned short, as well as leaving many detailed tracks, Very easey-to-follow explanations, in a smooth walk-through to look at the other side of the mirror. Nice tips. I wouldn't sat perfetc for a begginner as many of the techinical problems cannot be easily digested if you are not familiar with the complexity of filmmaking, but as an intermediate and even adavanced professionalo that would be a turn on course. I simply enjoyed the whole concept, especially while creating a documentary from a live audience profile where it's necessary to get a director's perspective, and personal approach throughout the matter to turn it into a believable recording piece that engaes the public viewing and yet not to get bored by the whole process. Overall a masterpiece on the run!
