About the event

Automotive Filmmaking Workshop with Samuel Cowan — LAG Media

Step behind the camera and into the world of cinematic automotive filmmaking with Samuel Cowan from LAG Media.

@laag.media

Join Sam for an immersive two-hour automotive filmmaking workshop at Sony Cinema Line House, where you’ll have the opportunity to film a real car, experiment with professional cinema equipment, and create dynamic automotive footage under the guidance of an industry professional.

Nestled within a beautiful forest setting, Sony Cinema Line House provides a unique cinematic environment for automotive filmmaking. Surrounded by natural textures, winding roads, dramatic light and lush scenery, the location offers the perfect backdrop to explore how light, movement, composition and camera technique can transform an automotive shot into something truly cinematic.

Sam will take you behind the creative process, sharing his expertise on shot selection, framing, composition, camera movement and visual storytelling — giving you practical insight into what makes an automotive sequence feel polished, intentional and cinematic.

Get Behind the Camera

This is a hands-on workshop. You’ll have the opportunity to shoot with the Sony FX5 and explore the wider Sony Cinema Line range, putting cameras and lenses through their paces in a real-world automotive environment.

Rather than simply watching a demonstration, you’ll be out there filming, experimenting and creating — learning how to approach an automotive shoot from the perspective of a professional filmmaker.

Create Portfolio-Worthy Work

The workshop is also a fantastic opportunity to create footage you can use to build and showcase your automotive filmmaking portfolio.

Under Sam’s expert instruction, you’ll be able to experiment with cinematic camera movement, detailed beauty shots, tracking shots and dynamic perspectives — creating automotive footage that demonstrates your ability to tell a visual story and capture a vehicle with a professional cinematic aesthetic.

Whether you’re looking to refine your existing automotive work, build a stronger portfolio, develop your filmmaking style or simply experience shooting with professional cinema equipment, this is an opportunity to learn by doing and leave with new skills, ideas and footage to inspire your next project.
