Course Description: In this four-day Videography Fundamentals & Video Production Lighting Techniques with DSLR, Mirrorless, and Mobile Devices BootCamp (2-Day Videography, 2-Day Video Lighting) training course, you will learn the technical and creative side of DSLR/Mirrorless and Mobile shooting.

You will gain experience bringing footage into Adobe Premiere Pro for an overview of video editing. In the second two days, you will learn how to create high quality video images using advanced studio lighting best practices and techniques.
