2nd AC Workshop - April 15th

Ever want to work on the large movies that come to Ohio? Want to learn how to work in the camera department? Learn the things they don’t teach you in film school or by teaching yourself!?

Industry veterans Travis Cleary and Ryan Forte are hosting a one-day seminar on becoming a second assistant camera! This comprehensive training program is designed for individuals who want to gain knowledge and skills to “get your foot in the door”. How to interact on large movie sets, and work in a team of camera people will be the main focus!

The seminar will provide an in-depth overview of the roles and responsibilities of a second assistant camera, including how to support the camera team on set, manage camera equipment, slating, expectations, and be a team player. Our experienced instructors, with a combined 20+years of experience(including projects Star Wars, Fast and the Furious, Captain America and more!), will guide you through the fundamentals of the camera department, providing practical tips and tricks that you can apply on the job.

Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to work collaboratively with the first assistant camera, director of photography, and other members of the camera department. We will cover the technical aspects of camera dept operations, including understanding marking actors, slating best practices, who to know on set, how to be an irreplaceable asset to your team which inevitably leads to more work!

You will also have the opportunity to practice your skills with real world professional camera equipment, with our instructors providing feedback and guidance to help you improve your technique. Setup of Mitchell sticks and O’Connor heads, ARRI cameras, lens handoffs, filters, monitor setup, video distribution will all be briefly covered.
