About the event
Peter Vidulich (AKA Vid) is a Sydney based DP. He has been in the industry for over 25 years and has worked on a myriad of television reality shows such as The Mole on Netflix, Lego Masters and Farmer Wants a Wife to name a few. Peter was the first DP to use the FX-6 in a Netflix series using 14 cameras in 4k. An extremely rewarding challenge and Peter wants to share his tips, tricks and trouble shooting methods to a group of like minded cinematographers during his small window of opportunity between projects.
This workshop will cover everything from using the FX-6, working within a team, shooting techniques and the opportunity to meet a panel of industry insiders. Peter and the panel will be sharing powerful guidance to help get the best out of this impressive camera.
The program has been designed for people that have questions about the FX-6 and who want to improve their skills. The content will suit anyone who either has the Sony FX-6 or has experience with the camera. The 2 day workshop will cover everything that you want to learn about the camera and workflow. This course is the first of its kind offered in Australia with limited spaces available.
We are also lucky to have a Sony product specialist on location. If they can’t answer your questions then no one can! (except Gabe ;)
Workshop overview
Day 1:
Will take place in person at Laguna Lighting Botany, Sydney. Peter will take you through an overview of the FX-6 alongside Gabe Devereux who is also known as ‘The Genius’ for his incredibly in depth knowledge of the camera. We will then break into smaller groups to get hands on with the camera while Peter and his team of camera ops will be providing guidance and knowledge. We will have access to a variety of Sony lenses, a great opportunity to see with your own eyes what the full frame lenses can do. We will also be looking at third party accessories such viewfinders, shoulder mounts, easyrigs, gimbal and wireless links.
The group will then move to a local location to shoot exterior shots. We will cover how to shoot sequences, high speeds shots, auto focus testing and shooting with gimbals. Vision will then be graded in front of the group to show exactly how you can achieve great results.
Day 2:
Will take place in person at Laguna Lighting Botany, Sydney. Peter and his team of camera ops will take the group to a second location where we will be shooting different scenarios, lighting and scrimming and discuss how to make talent comfortable in exterior conditions.
The group will then move back to Laguna Lighting to meet the panel of Industry professionals.
Both days will be fully catered. A well fed crew is always a happy one!
