Cinematography, Transmedia Classes at the Made in NY Media Center
Leaving Las Vegas The new Made in NY Media Center by IFP has announced a round of classes and presentations for December and is offering Filmmaker subscribers a discount for the two involving transmedia.
On December 7, one of today’s great cinematographers, Declan Quinn, will present a five-hour master class in the shooting of Mike Figgis’s Leaving Las Vegas. “In this Master Class, Quinn will deconstruct Leaving Las Vegas, scene-by- scene, while discussing his process, choices, obstacles, challenges – what worked and what didn’t,” reads the promo copy. Presented in partnership with Local 600, the day begins at 10:00 AM with a screening of the film and ends after Quinn’s in-depth talk at 3:00 PM. Lunch is included, and the course fee is $50.
Over four sessions beginning December 12, Starlight Runner Entertainment transmedia producer Caitlin Burns will present “Transmedia 101: Engaging Multi-Platform Storyworlds,” a workshop offering creators personalized instruction in “the artistic and practical challenges of transmedia storytelling and project development.” The fee for the 12-hour course is $500, but Filmmaker subscribers can use the discount code “STARLIGHT75” for $75 off.
Finally, Starlight Runner CEO Jeff Gomez, who has produced transmedia extensions for Tron, Avatar and Halo, will present a detailed, one-day masterclass on December 11, “Creating Blockbuster Story Worlds and Brands.”
