SUPERCHARGE
Your Raw Footage
Chris Watson

"Garbage in… Garbage out…"  Heard that phrase before?  How about “You can’t polish a ....”? 

Shooting isn't just a means to an end. It's an integral part of the storytelling process... it IS the source. Painters need the best paints, sculptors need the best marble, and cooks need the finest ingredients.

Videographers also need to have the best raw materials available to truly soar. The good news is that we control the quality of our raw materials! Award-Winning videographer Chris Watson will teach you how to “Supercharge Your Raw Footage"!  In Chris’s session you will learn simple and easy tips on how to stabilize your shots, what the “must have” accessories are and how to perform moving camera techniques with ease.  Discover how camerawork can affect the tone of a video and why it's important to change it up during the course of the day. 

Chris will explain what certain shots tell a viewer and why it's important to start editing before you even shoot the video.  Learn what the rule of 3's (not rule of thirds) is and how it will make your life easier in post. Plus many cool and intriguing shots to really kick you footage up a notch!
