On August 13th, Samy’s Camera and Sony Electronics proudly present the Sony Backlot HDSLR Video Academy. This event will take place in Culver City at the historic Sony Entertainment backlot. Participants will have the opportunity to learn pro filmmaking video techniques while on an actual Backlot set. Come see the video-capable Sony DLSRs, the new large chip Sony VG10 video camera, and the exciting NEX line of cameras.

Station 1 will focus on setting up the menus and settings on Sony HDSLR cameras to get the best video results. At this station, attendees will also take a look at using the VG10 video camera and the Sony NEX system cameras for video.

Station 2 will showcase HDSLR accessories that will help you achieve pro results when shooting video. Gear covered will include support rigging from companies like Redrock Micro, Cinevate and Genus; Manfrotto Fluid heads; Sony external battery powered monitors; microphones and audio gear.

Station 3 is for hands on shooting. Attendees will get to see and participate in the filming of a live action scene with actors just like they do in the movies.

This 5 hour event is a bargain at $100 per ticket but it’s even better if you bought an HDSLR Sony camera or Vg10 video camera from Samy’s, then it’s free. Imagine getting to shoot on the Sony Studios backlot with your new camera with top HDSLR instructors and Sony technical reps along with all the gear you need and actors ready to perform.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about digital filmmaking on the historic Sony Entertainment backlot.  If you purchased a Sony camera in the last 6 months, send your name, email address, phone number and mailing address to [email protected] and we will comp you into this event.
