an installation interested in the relationship between water, data, and our global responsibility to water justice. Using original footage of Canada’s natural springs, Touch Designer, and pattern recognition, it visualises the mesmerising flow of water and caustics, prompting a deeper contemplation of hydrology and bodies of water. Projected onto cascading fabrics the installation blends art and science, challenging how computers quantify and interpret the natural world.

Unlock the secrets of visual storytelling through the lens of cinematography in this immersive workshop. Cinematography is more than just capturing moving images; it’s about crafting emotions, perspectives, and narratives through the artful use of shots and angles.

Join us as we delve into the fundamental principles and advanced techniques of cinematography shoots and angles. Whether you’re a budding filmmaker, aspiring cinematographer, or simply a cinephile eager to explore the magic behind the scenes, this workshop offers something for everyone.

Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, participants will learn:

Shot Types: From wide shots to extreme close-ups, understand the various shot types and their impact on storytelling.
Camera Angles: Explore the significance of high angles, low angles, and eye-level shots in conveying mood, power dynamics, and character perspectives.
Composition: Master the art of framing and composition to create visually stunning and compelling images.
Movement: Learn how camera movement, whether it’s a smooth tracking shot or a dynamic handheld sequence, can enhance narrative flow and engagement.
Lighting: Discover the role of lighting in cinematography and how it can be used to set the mood, highlight key elements, and evoke emotions.
Case Studies: Analyze iconic scenes from cinema history to understand how shots and angles contribute to storytelling and audience immersion.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every frame and acquired practical skills to elevate their own visual storytelling endeavors.

Whether you’re working on a short film, a documentary, or even just capturing moments with your smartphone, the principles learned in this workshop will empower you to create cinematic magic. Join us and embark on a journey into the captivating world of cinematography.
