The last time I took a serious photograph it was with a brand new Nikon FE, circa 1980, which is why you won’t want to be discussing photography with me. My interest in photography was usurped by my love of movies, which brought me to England where I studied acting and directing and worked for 16 years in film, television and theatre. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the best talent in the business. From Clooney and Damon to Soderberg and Spielberg. Most photographers have at least a passing curiosity in movie making and with the video capacity of the new SLR’s and non-linear editing bundled on every computer, it’s inevitable that movie making is going to play an increasingly important role in the professional photographers business. I’d love to review all aspects of filmmaking with you. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never seen a script and don’t know the difference between the Gaffer or Director or you’ve already made a feature film or two. I’m here to help you in any way I can to understand the process. Cinema is the synthesis of all art forms. Literature, painting, music performance and photography. Every art form is storytelling and there is a unique language and syntax that we use to tell a story with moving images and sound. This unique form of storytelling comes from a curious place. Our dreams. Whether you are slipping movie clips in a slide show or want to know how to go about making your first film, Let’s look at story development, technique, symbolism, examples of filmmaking to see what works and why. Even if you aren’t interested in cinema, you can apply the same dynamics of storytelling to music, painting or photography.Email: outeredgefilm@roadrunner.com Back to Mentors |
