Demystifying The Camera

I'm a producer, not a cinematographer. When I choose the camera for my production, I have to take into account a number of factors that a cinematographer doesn't have to consider--cost, ease-of-use, manpower, post workflow, cost (yes, twice!), etc. I attended an excellent seminar a few months ago in...

Hey Wesley, good to meet a fellow Texan!

Wesley Tallant

Hello Mark. What is a good ol' Texas boy doing in LA? What pert of Texas are you from?

Mark Stolaroff

Hey Wesley, I grew up in Houston and went to UT (a long time ago!). I moved out to LA over 20 years ago. There just wasn't much film stuff going on in Houston then!

Wesley Tallant

Wow. I grew up in Austin, my Dad worked for UT, and my son lives in Houston. For such a large state, it sure is a small world.

I wish I could attend your class, it sounds so interesting and I know I would greatly benefit from it. My kids have basketball all weekend so sadly I cannot attend. Let me know how it went!

Hey Heather, I certainly understand a busy weekend with family! It was a great group this time and I thought my guest speakers were particularly inspiring. Maybe you can make it sometime in the future. I may be teaching it again in the Fall. Best of luck with your projects!
