A Film Crew Experience (available multiple times during Open House)

Hop into a crew role and help make a scene! 

Take a quick dive into multiple roles in a mock-scene on one of our fully lit sets. Open to anyone of any experience, this workshop lets you go through the motions of capturing the most important shot of any scene: The Master Shot.

• Not sure what a Master Shot is? No problem.
• Never touched a camera before? No problem.
• Really you just want to say "Quiet On Set!" or "Action!" really loud? No problem!

We'll introduce you to several roles and responsibilities including 1st AD, 1st AC, 2nd AC, Camera Operator, Focus Puller, Slate, Grip, and more!

This workshop repeats (roughly) every half-hour.
