Matt Edwards-Davies Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hey guys (and girls), In a couple of weeks I'm heading to the International Film & TV Workshops in Rockport, Maine to do an Internship and was wondering what the general opinion of that place is in the industry. If anyone here has gone there, or known people who have attended/taught workshops there I would appreciate any thoughts on how valuble time there is, etc. Thanks a lot!

Nate Downes Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Several people I went to High School with ended up there in various aspects. All of them enjoyed the experience and the chance to network. In the end, such events are less about things to learn than people to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Paul Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hello, was wondering the same, I'm a professional still photographer with 10 years experience. I'm tempted to learm more about cinematography. Are the 4 weeks training at Rockport worth the time and money ? Best, S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted August 19, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2004 I went in 1996 and it was brilliant (my God, can't believe it's that many years ago!). Nice atmosphere, nice teachers, nice students and I learned a lot from som real Hollywood pro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Steelberg ASC Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I went in ...'98 and had a good time. As a matter of fact, I decided to stay longer for the Advanced Lighting workshop during the 1st week. Had a good time. Beautiful place. My beef with it was they never sent me the footage of my final shoot of the second week...a scene we each had to shoot after a couple days of planning. They said they would but didn't. So now all I have is a Polaroid and a slide of the shot (below). Interesting bit of trivia...the person in the photo is Curt Cressman, a commercial rep from Kodak, Los Angeles. Great guy. I was experimenting with exposing with smoke or "fog" in a shot which ends up being tricky to balance because it's basically uncontrollable (especially with a nice Maine breeze) in an otherwise controlled environment.
