This MULTIMEDIA seminar will address the four basic principles an actor can use with any film or TV scene to create technically proficient and captivating close-ups for the camera.   Camera Techniques 101 will help the actor make technical modifications to a performance in a way that is suitable for the camera and powerful in results.   Attendees will be able to see how facial tension effects performances and will be given specific technical adjustments for enhancing camera work.  Some attendees will be filmed and screened in both BEFORE and AFTER examples.

90% of A-List actors working today use these techniques to create exciting, engaging, dynamic, close-up performances.  We will also screen A-List actor scenes for use of the four principles.

The Four Principles

·         Immediately increase an actor’s hire-ability for films and TV.

·         Gives actors an edge in auditions by dismantling myths and negative opinions about the camera.

·         Gives actors the ability to use the camera as a powerful ally in auditions.

·         Empowers actors on the set, enabling them to create powerful fully self-expressed performances.
