film, from the most experienced teachers in the craft."
Filmmaker Summer-Joy Main
agrees. "Honing an understanding of
light, practicing setting up a shot for the
camera, working with a crew, selecting
the best lens and frame - these are
crucial skills that require practical experience," she says. "The Master Class
offered that experience and, most
importantly, it was under the direction
of those most skilled at the craft."
Hailing from the Philippines,
Shayne Sarte notes that, at the time she
began her own forays behind the
camera, there was no film school in her
country - so she learned by apprenticing herself to a director of photography,
working as a grip and camera operator
before stepping into the role of cinematographer. "When I learned there
would be an ASC Master Class, I knew
I had to do it," she says. "As a cinematographer, you have to always be a
student, and the chance to learn from
the members of such a prestigious organization was a real opportunity."
Earlier in her career, Louisianabased Natalie Kingston attended a
Maine Media Workshop, where she
learned from ASC members Daniel
Pearl, Rodney Taylor and Rexford
Metz. "It was a life-changing experience," she says, "so I knew I had to take
the Master Class. Any time there's an
opportunity to take a class from an ASC
cinematographer - much less multiple
ones - I'll jump on it."
For David McGrory - who
graduated with a degree in cinematography from the Los Angeles Film
School in 2003 and has since been
working as a gaffer in Local 728 - the
Master Class also served as a means to
establishing lasting working relationships. "[The value of ] being able to
contact those giants of cinematography
to ask them for advice or support cannot
be measured," he says.
Those who have attended a
Master Class session cite the chance to
work with so many knowledgeable ASC
members as the most obvious highlight
of the course. But every student has his
