Workshop with Hollywood Guru

9 May 2012, admin

Want to take your filmmaking to the professional level?  Anyone interested in making movies from writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, gaffers, storyboard artists, editors, and more will be blown away by SWAMP’s upcoming workshop on Visual Structure with Hollywood Guru and USC Professor Bruce Block.

So what is “Visual Structure”?   Visual structure is the only “language” available to directors, cinematographers and production designers yet it is often misused or simply ignored.

This is not just art theory!  Bruce Block will take the vision in your head and make it the best, give it the most impact, so you can take your audience on the ride of their lives and build the career you’ve always dreamed of!

His clients include Lucasfilm, Ltd (STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES), Pixar (TOY STORY, CARS), Aardman Animation (THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS, WALLACE & GROMIT), and the game-maker Relic Entertainment (DAWN OF WAR), among many others

June 30th – July 1st

9:00am – 4:00pm
