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.
Working with a Video house: balancing cost vs. service
–and how having 24/7 availability is the most important
thing.
Testing: be prepared that often, you get what you
pay for.
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, Rike"
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) and Fox Program - THE HOUSE.
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 in working with
the great Robert Altman, Wagner relays the discover
that the cinematographer should be involved in the editing
process, to see the vision through.
