Winter provides a unique opportunity to film landscapes, sports, animal and natural life, as well as cultures and communities that come alive in the cold. Whether you’re shooting extreme sports, ice-fishing, man vs. the elements, a human interest profile at the North Pole, or animals hibernating, get equipped to do it right. Guided by an accomplished cinematographer who has shot in extremes ranging from Antarctica to the Arctic, the class will explore the skills, aesthetics, gear and preparation that are critical for successful winter cinematography.
In addition to lectures and demonstration, participants will embark on different field shoots to fully experience the dynamics being explored.
Leave the week equipped to get the most out of winter shooting.
