This course covers all aspects of production—development, pre-production, production, and post-production/distribution—all with the use of a low budget and a DSLR camera.  Topics include script development, planning your workflow, blocking and shooting, adhering to a budget/schedule, creating a viable product that WILL be distributable, and (of course) DSLR cinematography (though attendees can also opt to shoot with a different camera if they choose to).  Attendees are encouraged to bring writing materials and a USB thumb drive for class materials and extras since a LOT of information will be provided during the two day course.
