What you'll learn

  • NOTE! This classic course in camera use was created in 2006. The equipment used is not the latest. But this is NOT an equipment based course. It is informative, conceptual and hopefully motivational. The equipment gets better every day, but the visual concepts remain the same.
  • You will finally understand the difference between wide angle and telephoto lenses - beyond the obvious. You will understand when to use each to achieve spectacular results, and beautiful graphics.
  • You will learn shots, tricks and techniques that you will use every day of your career.
  • You will learn how to use close-ups and cutaways.
  • You will learn how to produce airworthy TV commercials on a local budget.
  • You will learn how to use silhouettes and smoke.
  • You will get a solid understanding about how to get good sound, including the mikes and gear you need.
  • You will learn how to setup and shoot night exteriors, so that they look beautiful and professional.
  • You will get dozens of tips that can only be learned from years on the set or from someone who has already been there and is willing to teach you.

Requirements

  • You should have a good understanding of how to work your camera. This course is not the "how" - it's the "why and when".

Description

You won't find a rehash of all the things you can learn everywhere else; the Rule of Thirds, Histograms and basic composition. No, they are not here, and you've heard all that stuff many times before. You need something different than the usual garbage. Something that will set you apart.

I will teach you how to use that camera as an artist vs. a "snapshooter". The techniques, tips and  professional tricks that I teach are things that you will use every working day. Study this course and your footage will never be the same.

This is not so much a "how-to" as a motivational look at how a successful cinematographer thinks. You will be encouraged to experiment in many ways, and broaden your cinematic experience.

And you will be urged to have FUN! And to make unique imagery for the amazement of your clients and enjoyment of your public.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed for people interested in getting great shots. We are targeting industrial and corporate videographers, independent film makers and college students.

On June 30, 2011 Victor Milt, DGA was inducted into the Florida State Film film program, as a Clio Award winning Florida Film Legend. This is his story.

Victor Milt's passion for photography began at the age of 10 when he got his first darkroom, and by the age of 22 he was shooting regular features for Glamour, Ingénue, McCall’s and Vogue, as well as industrial work for Levittown, Landis Tools, White Shield Petroleum, Grand Union and others.

Milt can truly be called a child of the Madison Avenue Farm Team system. He spent the last 30 years honing his advertising skills in the halls of the greatest ad agencies in the world, producing still and television advertising for the Fortune 500. His agency clientele lists Doyle/ Dane, Foote Cone, Ogilvy, J. Walter Thompson, Wm Esty, Wunderman, Young & Rubicam, Wells/Rich and Greene among many others. His corporate accounts include AT&T, US Air Force, Colgate, GE, Honeywell, Sears, Reader’s Digest, TV Guide, Cadbury, Schweppes, McDonalds, Burger King, and dozens of others.

Milt’s rendering of Juan Valdez leading his saddle-bagged donkey through the Columbian coffee fields is a national icon. Aim High - Air Force; Bugs Check In but they Don't Check Out; Schweppervescence; the Double Deodorant Soap; these are but a few of the words that Milt has implanted in the national subconscious.

Along the way, Milt has won numerous awards, including a Clio, Cindy’s, Telly's, Cine Golden Eagles and dozens of national and international film festival awards. His work was featured in an eight-page cover article in AV Video Magazine, and he has lectured every year at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) on directing, lighting and production techniques.

He has created over 500 commercials and sales films, many of which are classics in the industry. His work for Time Magazine includes “Kennedy”, the most successful direct response spot in the history of Time Warner. His “Led Zeppelin” commercial grossed over $70 million dollars, making it one of the most successful music commercials ever.

In 2005, Victor created the "Light It Right Series"; three "how-to" DVDs for professionals. The three classes cover basic and advanced lighting, camera and directing techniques. The Light It Right series has inspired thousands of professional cinematographers around the world. It is available on Amazon and at B&H Photo .

His recent documentaries, "Cowboys of Florida", and "Cracker- the last cowboys of Florida" have been featured selections in over 20 national film festivals. Together, the films won over a dozen national awards.. "Cowboys" premiered at the Palm Beach International Film Festival was selected as a finalist in competition over 350 other documentaries. "Cracker" opened the Jacksonville International and won three "best film" and two "director's choice" awards in various festivals.

Now Milt has returned to commercial and corporate services.

Teaming with the staff at interActive publishing inc. in Boca Raton, FL, he has once again led the way with his unique vision and skill set. Among other projects he worked for Patron Tequila. Patron regularly sent him out with both the LeMans racing team and the incomparable Alexis DeJoria driving the Patron Dragster autos.

Milt is still actively involved in commercial and video production.
