Cinematography Workshop To Be Held in Rochester

[Tim Tyler]

Kodak will host a cinematography workshop

from October 24-28 here at the company's corporate headquarters. This

five-day program will immerse participants in virtually all aspects of the art

and science of cinematography.

 

"The purpose of this hands-on workshop is to offer participants practical

experience in addition to technical instruction," says Bart Durkin, a staff

cinematographer for Kodak who will teach the course. "It is intended to help

filmmakers who are trying to succeed in a competitive industry."

 

The workshop will focus on the creation of a music video in 35 mm format

from pre-production through postproduction. Training will also include a

telecine transfer session and color-grading at a modern postproduction

facility. The completed music video will be transferred to DVD format and

given to each participant. Participants will also have an opportunity to tour

the George Eastman House, including a visit to the motion picture archives and

Kodak manufacturing site.

 

Space is limited to 12 individuals, including directors of photography,

gaffers, camera assistants and operators, videographers, directors and

producers. Tuition is $2,250, which includes film, equipment, locations,

meals, postproduction, film processing, crew, and talent. Participants

will also receive a $1,000 certificate that can be used for the purchase of

any Kodak motion picture film and four Kodak courses on CD-ROMs, including

Color and Light in Motion Imaging, Nature of Film, What is Cinematography?,

and Art of Lighting.
