SUMMARY:George Burt Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A night with an old club member George Burt DOP\n\n\n\nLed by George Burt \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeorge started his career making short films with us here at SFM and has travelled the world making films ever since.  \n\n\n\nHis portfolio of work covers the spectrum. From shooting documentaries to high end beauty and fashion commercials\, he also shot over thirty feature length\, TV shows and short films. \n\n\n\nThis will be a great evening for anyone wanting to know more about the role of a Director of Photography with plenty of tips\, inside knowledge and some cheeky stories!  \n\n\n\nIn pre production Tom and I discussed how we were going to create a sense of tension through depth and small details within our masters mid shots like a Gregory Crewdson photo. Gregory’s work has a fantastic cinematic feel to it and at the same time something creepy is happening within the image. This is the feeling we want to evoke in the audience. \n\n\n\nFilming took place on the remote Caribbean island of Nevis. As it turned out\, there hadn’t been a single case of COVID for nearly one year on the tropical island. It also was one of the most idyllic spots to shoot a movie with its stunning and vast locations. After 14 days of isolation in a shared house we began location scouting on the film. After being set free\, we were shown the island’s attractions and given a tour of Nevis. We rapidly came to the conclusion that we should avoid everything with a touristy appearance because this wasn’t the world we had first hoped for. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee George’s Website
