Working with Motion & Time

School of Visual Arts via Kadenze

Overview

The first course in the Photographer to Video in Today's Gig Economy program, Working with Motion & Time, is a deep dive from photography to videography, and shows you how to think in motion. Many of the core concepts carried over from still photography are the same, but putting your camera and scene in motion opens up a new world of possibilities and demands. You will learn how to add motion where there is none, and to control focus, light and sound.
