Three reasons Light Extreme Cinematography Workshops are unique:

 1. Methodology  
  Cinematography and Videography Workshops  Motto - "It's in this stone, I just need to bring it out" comes from Michelangelo's     
  understanding of the Nature of Creative Process.  It defines our approach in that while pursuing technical excellence we             
  recognise that technique alone is of no value unless backed by Idea.  We strongly adhere to the concept that creative process   
  starts in one's mind and we chose technique that best describes its intellectual and  emotional quality.  In this sense, technique
  is subservient to the Idea.
  As a synergy of different art forms - Cinematography and Videography, require methodology in realization of Creative Process.   
  Dancing with Light is the technique that specifically addresses methodology in realization of Creative Process
 2. Fusion of Film and Video
  Advances in Digital Video technology make today's Video Cameras approximate Dynamic Range of Film. This creates  possibility   
  for video lighting to be approached the Film Way by application of Zone System of Exposure.  In regard to methodology - our
  Cinematography and Videography Workshops seek to eliminate breach in creative process between Film and Video.  As such,     
  Cinematography Workshops serve film cinematographers looking to get familiar with technical nuances of video as well as          
  videographers wanting to start creative process in video by lighting from imagination - without necessity of improvising by          
  lighting with monitor rather than with Light Meter. Creative Lighting like any creative process is about realization of a                  
  preconceived idea. The only way to do this in creative Cinematography and Videography is to rely on Zone System of Exposure.
 3. Personal Attention
  Students are encouraged to bring ideas to cinematography workshops as they will have chance to express them with camera    
  and light utilizing Dancing with Light Technique . Our Cinematography Workshops are limited to small number of students.           
  Personal attention is given to every student
