Camera 3 will focus on scene work, on-set simulation, emotional preparation, and advanced on-camera techniques. Over the 5 weeks, actors will work in pairs with scenes from film or TV.
Overview:
- On-set simulation
- In-class scene work review and critique
- Self-taping assignments
- Working in the close-up frame
- Emotional preparation
Camera 3 is the third and final step in our on-camera training progression. With lessons learned in this course, you will be able to apply everything you have learned in Camera 1 and Camera 2, and bring your characters and scenes to their full, dynamic potency. Our goal is to prepare you for the real world of the on-camera industry, and after this course, we believe you will be ready to handle any audition or set.
Once you have completed Camera 3, you will be able to apply for our quarterly Masterclass for on-going actor training.
Finally, we send students home with video footage (on a flash card), so they can watch, learn and grow. Cameras are used in every class, and students receive access to all footage filmed.* *Please bring a 8GB Class 10 SDHC flash memory card to class. We will also have them for sale.
YOUR INSTRUCTORS
[learn_more caption=”Bios”] David has been acting professionally in Seattle since 2000, and his work is critically acclaimed (David is a three time winner of the Seattle Times Footlight Award for Stellar Acting – 2002, 2009, and 2012. He also received the 2012 Gypsy Rose Lee Award). His work in front of the camera began in earnest in 2010, and since then he has worked frequently in the medium. David began his training at Seattle University, where he developed his skills as a physical performer and comic actor, working in masque, and on broad, farcical plays. When in college, he also discovered the joy of performing Shakespeare. Since graduation, he has continued his training, working with a host of other exceptional teachers, learning about the craft and exploring performance and character development though a variety of techniques (Meisner, Method, Viewpoints, Suzuki, Classical Text Work). He is a passionate advocate for the northwest actor, and his dedication to the craft and elevation of the Seattle film actor is unparalleled. Credits Include: Z Nation Season 4, Bad Samaritan starring David Tennant, Paralytic, The Scottish Play, Chronoception, The Device, Super Secret, A Bit of Bad Luck starring Cary Elwes.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The Industry is always changing, so it’s only natural that the market changes along with it. We teach students how to stay informed and current in the NW. Seattle is a smaller market, but NW actors are still competing with LA actors. At Mighty Tripod Acting Studio, David and Angela stay connected to current Industry trends, and have built relationships with all of the area’s casting directors and talent agents. We are also producers and working actors, so we can share the wisdom gleaned from our experiences as we travel along the Actor’s Path.
We look forward to working with you!
~ David and Angela
