Filmmakers Academy collaborates with British Cinematographer to offer unique educational content

British Cinematographer is proud to announce a collaboration with Filmmakers Academy. The partnership between the critically acclaimed 24/7 learning platform and Europe’s No.1 cinematography magazine will enhance and expand the experiences and value for BC magazine readers and FA members.

The first lessons of the new monthly educational video series, hosted by film industry professionals, are featured on our video-on-demand platform, BCinePlayer.  

In a recent featured video, Shane Hurlbut, ASC leads a masterclass covering Blocking and Matching Coverage. Hurlbut takes viewers through the steps of bringing a scene to life with coverage and blocking, using examples from one of his many film projects. Viewers can learn everything from composition and choosing the right lens for the job, to breaking down the camera’s movement to create an effective flow that will enhance the storytelling. This month’s featured video on the BCinePlayer takes viewers through the steps of how a director preps a commercial. These lessons are specially selected from the dozens of courses available to Filmmakers Academy All Access members. 

“We’re so excited to partner with the brilliant professionals at British Cinematographer,” says Filmmakers Academy CEO Lydia Hurlbut. “Our strategy in 2022 is to reach a global audience with our content and community-building initiatives. We know that our two teams will present a wealth of dynamic and forward-looking resources for the magazine subscribers and our thousands of members. It’s a complete win-win for everybody.”

With Filmmakers Academy and British Cinematographer working in collaboration, we are confident the partnership will ensure our readers have access to insightful educational content to further develop their skills. This is a unique educational offering that will help our readers jump-start their careers,” says Zoe Mutter, Editor, British Cinematographer.
