Class Description

Description

Assistant Camera workshops are designed to build a foundation for Camera Assistants working with latest digital cinema technology.

Digital AC Series: 101
The Digital AC101 Basic Knowledge & Practices class is designed to give the student a good grounding in all aspects of a professional motion picture camera.

Camera support form and function are discussed and built as well as all accessories relating to camera body and lens function. Routing of electronics and electrical accessories, along with various cable connectors and their function will be discussed. We’ll also cover lens design and function as well as building accessories onto lenses.

Topics:

  • Lenses and lens options: matteboxes, lens supports, baseplates, follow focuses 
  • Choosing and using the correct filters 
  • Battery and power options 
  • Cabling 
  • Case/bag options for transporting equipment 
  • Hints and tips for when you’re on-set
Digital AC Series: 201
This class builds on knowledge gained from the 101 class. Class members will approach the curriculum from a professional camera prep point of view. Participants will learn to build camera packages according to the needs of production. Issues such as aspect ratio, frame rates, monitoring scenarios, and codecs will be discussed. 

Once these criteria have been covered, the class will build a camera from the ground up into a complete package. Once built, each part of the system will be checked and tested. Internal and external recording scenarios will also be tested and discussed. 

Topics:
  • Planning for your shoot
  • Choosing aspect ratio, frame rate
  • Selecting camera accessories, power and support equipment
  • Available lens options, matteboxes, lens interface and support
  • How to test prime and zoom lenses
  • Signal distribution
