Advanced HD video workshop with DSLR cameras

The past editions of Nab and Ibc have made it clear that HD video recording with DSLR cameras is a professional reality, these cameras have particular features and accessories that differentiate them from other HD video cameras. Knowing and controlling these features and accessories is what turns these cameras into working tools.

After the success of our first DSLR workshop, we have decided to lower the price and improve the level. In this new intensive course we will go beyond the basic specifications of the cameras, going deeper into the more technical aspects of shooting (customizable gamma curves, use of light illusion, cinestyle technicolor gammas, installation of plugins in camera…) and post-production (filters for noise reduction and moiré, color correction…) and testing the latest professional accessories available on the market.

This is an advanced course for all those who have or want to use these cameras as professional tools in their daily work.
