Join cinematographer Nick Froment in our Providence store as we embark upon an immersive product shooting experience. In this workshop, we will discuss a variety of topics, from camera settings to gear, and get hands-on in creating an actual product video, working with the purpose of getting the best end result possible.
This class will be divided into three sections: Discussion/examples and demo, Hands-on working with setups, and Review of work.
In the first section, we will discuss the goals of product videography and how to achieve them by reviewing a previously made cinematic product video for lighting, camera movement, shooting styles and more. We will then create a mock product video as a demonstration.
In the second section, students will break into groups with an Ikan slider and fluid video head + tripod and begin creating videos. You are welcome to bring your own products to video for this section or video what we have for demo. We will also work with other shots, such as panning, tilting, rack focusing, handheld movements and more. (Note: We will have some gear to use, but you are welcome to bring your own as well.)
In the final section, we will review the media over HDMI, in Final Cut, make suggestions, and refine videos to perfection.
This is going to be a fun and very informative class! Strongly encouraged for video users!
Please note: An interchangeable lens video camera is required for this course. You should also have prior knowledge of the record functionality of your camera, handling tripods, lighting, etc. You don’t need to be an expert, but should have some basic concepts.
