***3. ARTICLES AND THINGS YOU NEED TO READ AND DO


On Tuesday, Oct 13 join me and Noam Kroll for another FREE moviola webinar.
This one will explore and teach us all we need to know about lenses. Yes, lenses.

n this presentation, filmmaker Noam Kroll takes us through the critical issues in
choosing a lens: the emotion and story perspective conveyed by different lens focal
lengths, the editorial effects of mixed lenses, and–on a practical level–how to quickly
get your head around crop sensor numbers and effective focal length. You’ll also
learn about F numbers and what a lens’ aperture values mean for your depth of field.

Register!
