Working with the RED Camera

10:00 am - 11:00 am Saturday
Peter Hulst, Cinematographer
This is a workshop that no filmmaker or filmmaker-in-training will want to miss. Peter Hulst, one of the founding members of the Fallbrook Film Factory, will highlight the revolution of RED digital filmmaking from production, post-production, final delivery and beyond. Now that digital filmmaking has gone mainstream, with so many camera and workflow options, what makes RED and their systems the premier choice for filmmakers from the independents to studios alike?
Topics include, 4k images compared with 2k images, the proprietary equipment needed to film on the RED, REDCINE-X and the benefits of the REDROCKET. Come and learn about the advantages, and potential challenges faced when choosing to produce a film on the RED.
Peter Hulst has worked as an editor, cinematographer and technical producer and director. He has been working with the RED Camera on commercial shoots for the last two years and has gained a first hand insight of this state-of-the-art technology.

11:30 am - 12:30 pm Saturday
Frank Capra III, Producer
Last year Frank Capra III entertained, amused and enlightened us with tales of what it was like growing up in an illustrious Hollywood family. As the son of Frank Capra, Jr. and the first grandson of Frank Capra, he certainly had an advantage, but his father and grandfather taught him that he had to work hard, pay his own way and ultimately, be responsible for his own decisions.
Frank took this advice to heart. He has worked on more than 60 films as assistant director, producer and executive producer including “A Few Good Men”, “Bucket List”, and “Hitch”. The hour flew by last year and Frank promised that he would come back to continue his dialogue with us. If you attended Frank Capra’s workshop last year, you won’t want to miss this follow-up. If you missed it, don’t let another opportunity pass you by. This one is a must-see so come early and guarantee yourself a good seat.

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Saturday
Barney Burman, Hollywood Makeup Artist
Barney Burman, the 2010 Academy Award winning make-up artist (“Star Trek” 2009), will transform a college student into an entirely new person right before your very eyes, using the skills that he honed and developed on such films as “Mission Impossible III,” “Planet of the Apes” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
This workshop on special make-up for the big screen will go way beyond the beautifying of already beautiful people. So if you’d like to know how Tom Cruise was transformed into the character of Les Grossman in “Tropic Thunder” or what it was like to create those pesky zombies in 2004’s “Dawn of the Dead,” then you will definitely want to be there to see Barney in action.

David Ellis, child actor, prolific stuntman and respected action director will let you in on his secrets of more than three decades of success in show business. You’ll want to fasten your seatbelts for this workshop—and watch out for those snakes.
