Digital Film Producing - The Perks and Pitfalls of a Lightweight Video Camera
With Carl Schoenfeld. Carl works as a feature film Producer for Raindance. He is regularly invited by film festivals, industry events and film schools to share his knowledge with emerging filmmakers. Carl started as a cameraman and editor, and later produced documentaries including the multi award-winning A Sarajevo Diary for Channel 4. He has consulted for the BBC/Mosaic Films, the MEDIA Programme and Tall Stories/UK Film Council. His feature My Brother Tom, shot by master cinematographer Robby Müller, travelled to more than 40 festivals where it picked up 14 awards.
Since films like Festen and 28 Days Later have impressed audiences and critics alike, filmmakers have flocked to digital. This seminar introduces filmmakers to the impact a lightweight camera and cost effective videotape can have on a project. Areas to be covered will include Development (Which script and director? What makes a project cinematic? Creative freedom and need for marketable product), Preproduction (Finding the right partners, implications for budget and schedule), Shoot (Opportunities and limitations on set, keeping flexibility under control), Postproduction (Variety of routes, new opportunities with special effects), Distribution (new ways to the audience).
