We will analyze camera choice and how it will affect every other camera decision — film or digital, types of lenses, camera settings, and available support gear. There are so many camera options available, it’s easy to get lost.
Keep it simple, focused, and efficient—don't shoot coverage. Learn how to use one camera to make the best film possible.
PRACTICAL: Doing some location scouting and a production plan that includes an equipment list.
