Led by Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey, this day-long workshop will assume you have no knowledge about video and build throughout the day, culminating in a full-on interview setup typical for ESPN or CNN. Each technical element of instruction will be broken down into explaining each separately:

1. Video frame-rates, codecs, 4K, and the use of sliders and gimbals.

2. Lighting: Light modification with LED’s on location. “Making something beautiful out of nothing.”

3. Audio: Explaining phantom power, and various microphones and their specific uses, capturing audio “in camera” rather than with external recorders.

4. Building the set and doing an actual interview.

5. Last, we will take the three video streams and do a quick edit in Adobe Premiere CC, explaining how easy it is to do “multi-camera sync.”

People with no knowledge to intermediate is ideal. Shooters currently doing production with DSLR’s are encouraged to come and see how much easier life is with mirrorless. Registration for this workshop is $100.
