yo pros! i need your advice on this:
im interested in taking up some seminars and crash courses in digital video cinematography and production. i saw some course being offered by PCCI. has anyone here attended a learning session in this facility? how helpful do guys think they could be in terms of real world application?
For production, it is best that you tag along with someone you know. Production takes more than a day, kahit viral videos lang ang pino-produce, pwede pa rin kayong abutin ng kinabukasan. But that's a better exposure, than what they would tell you inside the classroom.
In a prod scene, you'll learn not just the technicalities but also how to deal with different practices: PR, Agencies, Lights, Cameras, Equips, Directors and ADs, set design, stylists, DOPs, Actors, Proj Mgrs, Logistics, etc. It's a unique experience talaga.
But the prod scene is slowly evolving. Right now, the industry is starting to get rid of the agencies, and just go directly to the companies who has everything in their portfolio. Wedding videographers are starting to eat a significant chunk in the industry. So maybe, if you know someone who has done wedding videos before, most likely they have corporate accounts right now.
