Camera 1: Foundations

June 4, 2014 @ 6:30 pm - July 2, 2014 @ 9:30 pm

Camera 1 is our foundational course for adult (18 years and up) actors. This course meets on Wednesday nights. Camera 1 offers an extremely well rounded curriculum, which will give students comfort and confidence in front of the camera, setting them up for success in any venue (film, TV, commercial, etc.). We also look into the business of the business, covering things like agents, headshots, resumes, casting directors, and more. This is a great course for students new to acting in general, new to on-camera acting, or those who have a bit of experience but are looking to take their craft deeper. Cameras are used in class, and students receive access to all footage filmed.

This session begins on Wednesday June 4, 2014. Book your spot at the bottom of this page.

“I’d been working in Seattle for the past four years with some success in both theater and film, but I knew that there was more to learn that I just wasn’t getting “on the job.” David and Tony’s class came recommended by Jodi Rothfield, so knew it would be a good place to start. I went in thinking I needed to brush up on my camera technique; where to look, how to stay in frame, how to play to the camera, etc. What I got was that and more: I’ve deepened my approach to acting, both for the camera and for the stage. I’ve got a new set of tools I can use to prepare more fully for auditions and roles. And, most importantly, I’ve got a new sense of confidence that’s been making a big difference in real-world casting and on-set situations. I got so much out of the first class that I went on to take the next in the series, and I plan to continue with Mighty Tripod’s ongoing classes and workshops.” – Marty Krouse
