PROGRAM DETAILS

Section I: Developing the Vision
? First reading: like meeting a new friend, this first impression is crucial to filmmaking. Roy teaches us to trust our instincts and to enjoy the ride.
? Discovery: learn how to continually challenge your old ideas and expectations.
? Development of the Vision: the courage to develop ideas - in an industry and society as a whole that puts so much emphasis on producing a product.

Section II: Collaboration with the Creative Team
? Defining Relationships: balancing the push and pulls, different producers, the director, the often-difficult talent, and the overlooked line producer.
? Ethics: dealing with (everyday) crises and learning to blend your vision in the overall production.
? Being Prepared for Anything: envisioning every last detail that can possibly go wrong in your mind before it does (and it will).

Section III: Preparation
? Importance: our vision and the writer's; juggling time and budget constraints.
? Creating the Visual Map: knowing where the most important moments are and finding those illusive but crucial "transitional moments."
? Location: finding locations you love that are practical with the right size and accessibility.

Section IV: Pre-Production
? Working with a video house: balancing cost vs. service; how having 24/7 availability is the most important thing.
? Testing

Section V: Production
? Daily Methodology: not getting overwhelmed by the daily grind; and dealing with long pauses in production.
? Time Management: working with the AD to maximize time efficiency.
? Putting a Scene On Its Feet : "This is the most critical moment in the relationship between the collaborators."
? Set Politics & Working with the Talent: the tensions between producers, directors, talent and cinematographers are only exacerbated once production begins, especially when there are other problems. Learn how to deal with this.
? Sustaining Vision: learn how to keep your original vision - even as equipment malfunctions, deadlines are broken, producers/directors impose impossible goals, and talent is difficult.

Section VI: Tips and Tricks from Recent 24p Feature, Shackles (Still in Post Production)
Roy will discuss his experiences using digital equipment, while shooting the upcoming Columbia Pictures film, Rikers (Winkler Films and Rob Cowen, Producers; Charles Winkler, Director)

Filmed in 24p HD with Sony CineAlta Cameras, Roy will talk about how he used light, shadows and color, among other things, on this production. He will also cover in-depth the importance of maximizing the use of:

? Composition
? Shadows
? Optics
? Light
? Color
? Texture

Roy will also demonstrate some new digital acquisition tools and how they meet (or fail to meet ?we said we weren?t trying to sell cameras(!)) the rigorous expectations of an award-winning cinematographer.

Section VII: Post Production
? Your last day is not when shooting wraps. Your art is not done until you're sitting in the dark with your audience.
? Participation in the editing process: because of the new digital technology, but discovered while working with the great Robert Altman, Wagner relays that the cinematographer should be involved in the editing process to see the vision through.
