"I would recommend this course to filmmakers of all levels.

Throughout this Masterclass, our goal is to provide you with an all-inclusive understanding of technical directing so that planning and filming even the most complicated scene will come as second nature. Throughout this entire course, we’ll be blocking in 3D, using our six manikins. Our manikins are perfect for blocking out scenes and describing camera techniques as they’re completely expressionless, so all of the emotion and energy in the scene must be accomplished from the camera move alone – putting all emphasis on the camera technique rather than the performance. In doing this, you’ll see just how important camera work is when attaching emotion to a scene and drawing the audience into the character’s frame of mind and the action within the scene.

This class is intended for directors and DOPs of all levels - from beginners to seasoned pros who want to take their technical directing to the highest level. This class will also benefit actors who want to gain a more technical understanding, and anyone looking to cross over from other disciplines.
