When our children are grown, memories are all we have, but video is the next closest thing. Join Emily Mitchell and learn how to create video using your DSLR. In this program which will use a child model, you will learn how to breathe life into your images as you record voices, hands, expressions, movement, and connection as no still image can. Handouts on music acquisition and gear list will be provided. Attendees will receive videos on editing after the conclusion of the conference.
Attendees should be comfortable shooting in manual mode, and your camera's video mode should allow at least aperture or shutter priority control, but full manual control is preferred. Before attending, you should read your manual and learn how to get your camera into video mode. It is recommended that you bring your manual, a DSLR with video function, a camera strap, and 1 or 2 of your favorite lenses.
