A totally flexible approach, that can be modified at any stage to take account of peoples existing levels of understanding.
Either one to one, or in a group of typically up to six people, on a reducing cost scale per person.
All the following can be run as a single day, or expanded to give a more in depth version over two days.
Fundamentals of High Definition Television.
This course can be tailored to suit anyone from completely non-technical support staff, through production personnel, directors and DPs, to those with an engineering background who haven’t yet needed to know about HD.
Typically includes a guide to the different worldwide standards, progressive and interlace scanning, how to choose the correct frame rate for a production, choosing the most appropriate camera and recording format, understanding the HD workflow, differences from film, and de-mystifying the industry jargon.
Recording Formats
An explanation of some of the available recording technology, with a view to making the right choice for a programme or project.
Digital and analogue, data compression, MPEG this and 4:2:2 that, composite, SDI, optical disk, I-link and firewire. From consumer AVC to 4K and all formats between, a simple guide to the pros and cons of each format , enabling you to choose the right balance of quality, cost, and convenience.
Conversion course from Film or SD to HD
If you’ve spent many years working with film it can be a daunting proposition to be faced with a whole new set of tools. That’s all they are though…the tools to do the job, and the most important skills required are still lighting, composition and movement of the camera.
Explaining how the complex technology of HD can be directly translated to the familiar world of film production, this is the ideal way to get familiar with the new tools.
The following camera specific courses are also available for freelancers, owner operators, rental company staff, equipment dealers and vision engineers:
