Closer to nature with Digiscoping: CAPTURE WHAT MOVES YOU!
Date: Thursday, Oct. 12th, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Who: with Mario Kreuzer, in cooperation with Swarovski Optik
Info: Swarovski OptikMario Kreuzer

Mario Kreuzer, born and raised in Carinthia, Austria, has been working as a cameraman for film and television for half of his life. His work as a cameraman is regularly seen in the evening program of ORF and Servus-TV. He is currently working for ORF Universum on a documentation of kestrels, two thirds of the documentation are being filmed with a SWAROVSKI OPTIK telescope. Only in that way it was possible to take close-ups of the small predators without disturbing them.

Digiscoping is the term used to describe the special video and photographic technique where a camera and spotting scope are connected to form a powerful video or photo device, and interact perfectly so that you can take impressive shots.
The workshop introduces the use of a telescope for single large sensor cameras and the advantages from it. After a brief theoretical introduction, the main part of the workshop consists of the practical work with the devices in nature. At the end the results are jointly discussed.

Attention:
Participation is limited to 10 filmmakers with their own basic equipment.
Registrations are possible until October 1st 2017 via email to: digiscoping@inff.eu
