Indy filmmakers are embracing video capable DSLRs for their large sensors, portability, ease of set up, and performance in low lighting situations. Learn how to maximize the DSLR’s capabilities from director Nadine Patterson and producer Brian Glazer
.
Fresh from wrapping principal photography (using three DSLRs) for her feature Tango MacBeth, Patterson will discuss lighting design for multi camera shoots, the use of double system audio, and how to achieve a filmic look using the DSLR.

Glazer will present a case study of The President's House, a series of short films he line produced, now on permanent exhibit at Independence Mall. He will focus on budgetary, creative and technical considerations a producer must make when choosing between camera platforms for a given project.

Participants are invited to discuss their respective projects.
