Somebody Studios The Film Set For Actors 30/06/2017

THE FILM SET FOR ACTORS
Acting is one thing. Understanding how an actor is meant to work on a feature set is something else again. Or on a television show. Now a features director who was also a major cinematographer walks you through everything you need to know about the process, from the make up trailer and base camp, to eye-line, marks, focal length of lens (and how it impacts performance) different types of microphones and how you will sound, understanding key light and which way to look to look your best, or to look right for a moment in your performance. This is an essential online seminar for any actor. You need to sign up before the end of the month to get the discount and a place as we are nearly full up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynYaPO04zQ

Somebody Studios Moving from Stills to Cinematography Steven Bernstein 30/06/2017

I think these online seminars will make you a better filmmaker. A lot of people are intimidated by lighting. It's really easy to understand when explained correctly. I am a member of the ASC and was a cinematographer for 30 years. I am also a film director. I understand how it works. These seminars are a radically different approach. They are only 3 hours, but I think you will find them of value. One course is for those who want to be cinematographers. The other is for non-cinematographers. One is for stills photographers who want to move to cinematography. Sign up before June 30th for the discounted rates and then you can view them whenever you like after July 15. You can also ask me questions directly via AMA sessions on select dates. Steven Bernstein ASC DGA

Somebody Studios Making the Independent Film 30/06/2017

I think this on-line seminar will make you a better filmmaker. Making an independent film is hard. I have succeeded at it in a big way and failed at in a big way. I learned a lot from both. Learn what to do to get an independent film made and what not to do. This seminar is a radically different approach. It's of real value. Signup before June 30th for a discounted rate. There are still a few places left, but grab them. Then you can view it whenever you like after July 15th. Also you get to ask me questions directly via AMA sessions on select dates. Give it a try.
