Acting is something incredibly complex. Even someone who has no previous experience with acting is able to distinguise good from bad acting. Do we believe what we see? What is the secret of acting and how can you apply this to portray a memorable character? Preparation, empathy, direction, script, dialogue, technique and projection, all these elements can make or break an acting performance. Actor Waldemar Torenstra and director Danyael Sugawara will speak about this from their own experience and they will create room to try out some things for yourself. They will use this masterclass as a platform to investigate the art of acting and to share their knowledge. There is room for five young and upcoming actors, and the masterclass is open to the public.

The workshop ‘Working with RED’ is organized by NBF and Team Facilities. The NBF is the oldest professional association of film and television makers in the Netherlands. For 25 years TEAM Facilities has been providing facilities for recording, broadcasting and post production for television and video productions. Both organizations have gained a lot of knowledge and expertise through many years of experience, so the idea arose to join forces and create a workshop.

Content
The first part of the workshop will consist of a basic theoretical explanation about the origin of the RED camera, the background and the difference with HD/35 mm cameras. This comprehensive explanation will be interspersed with illustrative clips. All advantages and disadvantages of working with the RED will be discussed. The afternoon will be spent working with the RED cameras (slow motion, using the menu, effects, applications etc.). Half of the workshop will be dedicated to actually shooting with the RED. At the end of the day, each participant will have gained the proper basic knowledge of working with RED. During the workshop there will be ample room for asking and answering questions.

Robert Berger
The workshop will be presented by Robert Berger, a successful Director of Photography and founder of Camlight Productions. He has over 15 years of experience as a director of over a 1000 projects (including commercials, documentaries, feature films, corporate films and video clips). Robert shoots many projects with his own RED camera, so plenty of current practices and up to date knowledge will be discussed.

The workshop is open to everyone working with professional-level cameras. Producers, directors or camjo's, everyone who wants to know more about working with the RED is welcome. Some experience with camera work is necessary. There is a minimum of 10 and maximum of 15 participants.
