Back in 2005, I finally got to study Film making. I attended the 4 week film making summer Workshop offered by the New York Film Academy at the Disney MGM Studios ( Today known as the Disney Hollywood Studios).
I learned a lot about film making back then. If you are interested in film making, that Workshops from the NYFA is something I highly recommend. You start using the cameras since the first day of class. You get to do everything! You mount the roll in the camera, You do the lighting, the measurement, EVERYTHING! And You write, shoot and edit your own Films! It was a really short time, but it was an incredible experience.
This was the first thing I did. It was out first Project after just 5 days of class. By then, We already knew the basics of lighting, , lenses, foot candles and camera. aperture. We worked in teams of 3, and we rotate between 3 different positions: Director, Director of photography, and Camera Assistant. So that means that over the weekend We shot 3 short films each of them, directed by one of us.
The rule for this Project was that We had to tell a story in just one shot of about 1 minute or so….
And here’s what I did…





When I was thinking of the concept for this Project I conceived the same story but in a different place. At the end I ended up changing it to what You actually see, because if I had done what I originally thought of, I would have needed a Dolly camera and many, many lights…The original concept took place in a very fancy restaurant and would have been a little bit longer, and may be it would have been more difficult to achieve it in just one shot with out cuts….
