Manual exposure, waveform reading, follow focus, dolly and track movement, studio and location lighting.
Shot composition, visual storytelling, continuity, the 180° rule and multi-camera blocking for narrative and commercial work.
Runway ML, Pika and Sora for generative assets, AI VFX and enhancement — integrated with Premiere, After Effects and DaVinci.
Timeline assembly, multi-cam editing, professional audio design and colour grading in DaVinci Resolve.
The AI editing pipeline blew me open — I shoot and cut with Runway and DaVinci now. Landed a DoP assistant role on a web series straight after.
The 12-month course is the real deal. Narrative lighting, colour grading, a thesis film — I built a portfolio that got me freelance documentary work.
Best decision — learning Premiere, After Effects and Sora together is exactly what studios want. Placement team got me interviews fast.
Went from hobbyist to booked out. The studio lighting and AI culling modules saved me hours per shoot. Highly recommend.
