StudentFilmmakers.com is proud to announce Cinematographys Digital Revolution Workshop with Roy H. Wagner, ASC, in Burbank, CA on Saturday, September 25, 2004. Held at the Plus8digital Annex, this all day seminar will feature an intensive workshop led by Mr. Wagner, a 40-year veteran, two-time Emmy-winning cinematographer, and named by Kodak as one of the "Top 100 Directors of Photography."

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2004 -- Roy Wagner, ASC is a well-known director of photography for numerous film and television productions including Nick of Time, Nightmare on Elm Street III, Beauty and the Beast, Quantum Leap, Pasadena, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Wagner was Emmy-nominated two additional times for Robert Altman's GUN and the movie of the week, "Disaster at Silo 7." He was also nominated for an ASC Award for "Beauty and the Beast."

Cinematographys Digital Revolution Workshop provides a rare opportunity to study with a great voice in contemporary cinematography. Mr. Wagner will talk, answer questions and evaluate his and others work. His 7-part talk will begin with the first creative spark of an idea, and continue through post-production. It opens with the astute observation that cinematography has a musical language all its own; to collaborating with all the different (often difficult) personalities in a production; to preparation: balancing cost, time and other constraints. He discusses staying true to directors ideals, and maintaining your own; realities of productions daily grind; and the latest digital gear. Realizing that "your work is not done until you are sitting in the dark with the audience," he ends with advice on keeping your vision off the cutting room floor.

Roy Wagner will discuss his experiences using digital equipment, while shooting the upcoming Columbia Pictures film, Rikers (Winkler Films and Rob Cowen, Producers; Charles Winkler, Director). Charles Winkler will give a speech at the workshop.

The workshop attendees will learn different aesthetic decisions a DP must make, and how they are affected by film vs. digital media production. The recent trend of digital film mastering -- and how it has made the cinematographer a vital participant well into postproduction. Find out the answers to these questions: Does digital high definition really reduce cost? Is image quality ever the same as on film? What are all the advantages to digital? How do you manage the often-difficult issue of quality of output? Participation will be encouraged, and there will be a Q and A period.
