Practical & Intensive Courses in Filmmaking
Welcome to the Creative Visuals Filmmaking Workshops portfolio page. Here you can find the amazing works produced in previous editions of our intensive training courses. Our workshops are designed to bring out the best of your creativity, imagination, and technical skills in filmmaking.
Our 2-day Intensive Digital Cinema Workshop is an immersive training program that provides hands-on experience in film, video, and photography production. Participants collaborate with visiting experts and artists to apply their newly acquired knowledge in practical settings, culminating in real cinematic projects. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced filmmaker, our workshops are tailored to help you develop and expand your skills.
The course covers a comprehensive introduction to cinematography, providing participants with foundational knowledge and practical skills in this essential aspect of filmmaking. In the practical modules, we explore direction, cinematography and lighting, sound recording, and other critical aspects of cinematic production.
Additionally, a second module focused on editing and post-production can be added. This advanced module delves into video and audio editing, but due to the additional resources, logistics, and extended duration required, it is not included in the base course. However, this can be arranged upon request for those interested in expanding their skills in this area.
The base course is primarily designed to focus on the work of cinematography, catering to those pursuing careers as directors of photography (DoPs) or independent videographers.
Although our regular workshops are currently on hold due to scheduling constraints, we are open to organizing customized training sessions for individuals or groups. If you are interested in private instruction or group workshops, feel free to reach out to discuss your needs. Together, we can design a program that aligns with your objectives, schedule, and preferred location.
