Workshops Description
This workshop offers insight into creating a premium cinematic Profile Film for a small business or artist. Using a mock set with a car mechanic in his garage, we break down the narrative, b-roll, and abstract content to bring the story to life. We’ll explore the Sony Cineline, focusing on the FX6, and the GM Prime range, demonstrating how to light a challenging or ordinary space to achieve a premium look, ensuring the client is framed in the best possible way.
