Heading to NAB this year? Join us at Cine Central for an immersive, hands-on session designed for filmmakers, camera operators, and crew looking to elevate their craft in real-world production environments.

Learn From Industry Pros Who Get the Shot—No Matter What

Our instructors, David J. Frederick and Eric Zucker, bring decades of on-set experience tackling complex cinematic challenges and navigating the realities of demanding productions. From last-minute director pivots to technically difficult shots, they’ve done it all—and delivered.

What You’ll Experience

This is not a passive session. Participants will actively engage with working professionals to break down and execute challenging shots in real time.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Approach and solve complex production scenarios
  • Select the right gear for the shot under pressure
  • Communicate effectively with directors and producers
  • Lead crews with clarity and confidence on set
  • Adapt quickly when plans change

Attendees will work directly with industry-standard equipment and walk through multiple shot setups, gaining practical insight you can immediately apply on set.
