This weekend, Crew Studio transformed theory into action with a truly immersive Cinematography Masterclass. This game‑changing opportunity for film educators and aspiring cinematographers took place on a real film set complete with actors, lighting rigs, and high‑end motion‑picture gear..
From framing to focus, colour balance to camera movement, our attendees worked with authentic industry tools, learning the technical precision and creative choices that take place on Film & HETV sets.
Too many film courses stop short of replicating the real pace, pressure, and precision of a working set. That’s why we built this masterclass to flip the script.
Attendees didn’t just talk about lens choices or lighting ratios, they practiced them. Under the expert guidance of cinematographer Zoran Veljkovic SAS, participants explored how to shape a scene with practical lighting, camera movement, and actor blocking, all while working as part of a professional crew.
This masterclass wasn’t just about education—it was a collaborative effort made possible by some of the industry’s most forward-thinking partners:
Aputure Europe, who supplied cutting-edge, accessible lighting equipment
Jenny Clark, who helped bring the partnership with Sunbelt Film & TV Division to life
And we were thrilled to welcome tutors from University of Reading, London Film Academy, and London Metropolitan University who were committed to improving their industry skills and inspire institutions shaping the next generation of storytellers.
