Great cinematography starts with the glass, not the camera.
Join Director and Cinematographer Chris Anthony Hamilton for an immersive workshop that moves you beyond "auto" settings and into the art of visual storytelling. Whether you are an aspiring filmmaker, a camera assistant, or a director wanting to better communicate your vision, this course bridges the gap between optical physics and emotional impact.
What You’ll Master:
The Mechanics: Demystify lens anatomy, mount types, and the critical difference between T-Stops and F-Stops.
The Aesthetic: Understand the "personality" of glass, from the clean look of Spherical lenses to the cinematic character of Anamorphic.
The Psychology: Learn how to use focal length to manipulate audience emotion, analyzing scenes from shows and films like Euphoria, The Shining, and Taxi Driver.
The Technical: Grasp sensor sizes, crop factors, and how to build a matched lens set.
Who This Is For: Filmmakers, Cinematographers, and Directors looking to deepen their technical knowledge and refine their visual language.
