This master class explores light and shadow as central components to the recording and display of video. This workshop is designed for visually oriented professional media artists who are interested in an expanded, hands-on approaches to recording and presenting video. Pollard, Brouillard and Moore share their skills and experiences in the development of in-situ installations and performances that capture the human form in movement and deploy a variety of video display technologies. Participants will begin by recording video material in a studio environment, allowing them to control lighting and to work with high contrast imagery along with some green screen production. This material will serve as a basis for the subsequent creative and technical exercises involving editing, composition and presentation technologies.
