P10923 instead of P21845 for 4-day Red Camera Cinematography Workshop at the International Academy of Film & Television (IAFT)

Give a man a video, he can enjoy an hour or two in front of the box; teach a man to video, he can record embarrassing moments, be a pest at family reunions, and get work in the CCTV industry for a lifetime. Learn a life skill with today's Sweet Deal: P10923 instead of P21845 for 4-day Red Camera Cinematography Workshop at the International Academy of Film & Television (IAFT).

The experienced instructors of IAFT teach fledgling videographers the art of capturing momentous mementos with a handy dandy Red Cam, a revolutionary digital cinema-oriented camera which speeds up the production and post-production process by a few hours due to its quick boot up and easy breezy upload time. Trainees with intermediate level filmmaking skills with a simple understanding of camera exposure are most encouraged to attend this four-day workshop which will cover basic Red Camera operation, which is no different from the Black Camera except for its spelling. During the workshop, students will have a shot at producing an actual short Film, working with advanced level IAFT students on the short film entitled “Taxi”, plus experience post-production work minus the dreaded video capturing process.
