16mm Bolex Camera Basics Workshop

16mm Bolex Workshop

*Registration Closed - Workshop has reached capacity

 

This single six-hour workshop, geared toward individuals with little or no experience shooting film, will focus on 16mm production basics using Bolex H16 Reflex cameras. We will begin by discussing what makes film unique, and looking at some examples. Participants will then learn how to shoot with the Bolex; how to utilize its various functions for creative effects such as slow-motion, stop-motion, multiple exposures, and pixilation; how to use a light meter, and the various ways to control light. Each participant will leave the workshop having shot a single 100’ roll of black and white 16mm film, which they can either send out for processing at a commercial lab, or process themselves at an upcoming hand-processing workshop at AgX (date TBA), after which they'll be able to project and view the results right in our space.

Workshop taught by AgX members Stefan Grabowski and Kyle Petty

Cameras and film will be provided
