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 –and 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.
• 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.
• Making the Take: working with
the AD, your crew and talent to get a scene “on
its feet”.
• 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, "Rikers"
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.
