Cleveland, Ohio- Independent Pictures and Media Design Imaging are proud to
present the
wildly popular 6th Annual Director of Photography Workshop 9a-6p on Sunday,
November
6th at The Hyacinth Lofts, 3030 East 63rd Street in Cleveland, Ohio. Workshop
cost is $50
(must be paid in advance) and includes lunch the day of the workshop and one
admission
to the 2005 Ohio Independent Film Festival the following weekend.

Join us for an all day workshop on filmmaking. Learn techniques and experience
the
different directorial viewpoints of three Director of Photography experts
including local
legend Robert C. Banks, Jr. Participants will be involved in a hands-on
experience as each
DP is given a raw script, a bare set, and basic lighting and grip equipment, and
is faced
with the challenge of creating a film. Each DP will create a lighting design
with volunteer
assistance (participants) as crew or cast, then record the results on color
reversal 16mm
film (courtesy of Kodak, Inc.). The film will then be processed and screened the
next
weekend at the 2005 Ohio Independent Film Festival, Cleveland Public Theatre,
6415
Detroit Road in Cleveland, Ohio.

Seating is limited so reservations must be made and paid for in advance. Send
your $50
