The way you film something directly impacts your story, conditioning the way it's told. Yeray Perdomo, director of photography with an extensive career in advertising, TV, and documentary film production, is passionate about telling stories that few people have heard, and about finding the right angle for them, both literally and figuratively. One of Yeray's recent and most distinguished collaborations was the documentary Manolo Sanlúcar, el legado, which was nominated in eight categories at the 2020 Goya Awards.
In this online course, Yeray teaches you the fundamentals of filmmaking and video techniques to capture breathtaking footage. He also shows you how to use the editing and color correction software DaVinci Resolve to give your videos a professional look.
