One day. A live artist on stage. A full RED package in your hands. By the end of the night you've shot, lit, cut and graded a music video — and watched the documentary premiere with the people you made it with.
Most workshops are someone talking at you for six hours. This one isn't. We walk in with a brief, a song, a band on stage and a RED package on the floor — and by 10pm there's a finished music video on a hard drive. You set the lights. You operate. You sit in the colour seat. You leave knowing how the day actually runs on a real set, because you ran it.
How a music video gets pitched, designed and locked before the camera comes out of the case. The thinking that separates a good music video from a generic one.
The lighting plot built in front of you with the artist on stage. Why one source beats six. How to shape mood without killing the venue.
RED bodies on the floor with full builds. Workflow, exposure, on-set monitoring, lens choice. Taught by a RED-certified shooter alongside RED APAC.
Cutting to music. Building a look that holds. The Cine Artistlabs colour approach — how it's actually graded, not just what preset to buy.
Each city runs the same two-day shape: full workshop day with a live artist, ending with the documentary premiere. Day Two is an optional post-production deep-dive in DaVinci Resolve at a separate venue.
Sydney is the livestream city. Co-produced with CreativeLive and multicast to their global audience. If you're in Sydney you're in the room; if you're anywhere else, you can still join the livestream — but the hands-on day is in-person only.
Doors at 9am. The day starts with treatment and pre-pro, moves to lighting and camera, into three shoot blocks with the artist, then post — and finishes with the documentary premiere in the same room.
If you're already running productions on Sony or Canon and you're trying to figure out the jump to cinema cameras, RED workflow, and music video pacing — this is built for you. Hobbyists welcome, but the day moves at working-pro speed.
You're shooting now. You want to step up the kit, the look, and the way you run a set. You want to leave with a workflow you can use Monday morning.
Production teams making the jump from broadcast-style to cinematic. Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne especially — bring the camera team and the lighting lead.
Final-year and recent-grad cinematographers building first kits, first reels, first paying clients. Direct time with working directors.
Editors and colourists can book Day Two on its own — the post masterclass in DaVinci stands alone if the live shoot day isn't for you.
Australian director and cinematographer. 20+ years shooting music videos, documentaries and live broadcast. RED shooter since the original Epic in 2012, currently on Komodo X and V-Raptor. Recent work: Simple Plan's Warped Tour, Morgan Evans at the Sydney Opera House, Planetshakers' Backstage to Broadcast documentary.
RED Digital Cinema APAC, co-host on every tour stop. On the floor for the camera masterclass, on the panel for the documentary Q&A. Brings the full RED package to each city — Komodo X, V-Raptor, and the workflow that goes with them.
Tour co-lead. Runs partner relationships, on-tour logistics, and the content pipeline producing social coverage from every city. On set across all four stops.
Sydney is co-produced with CreativeLive and multicast to their 500,000+ subscribers. The tour also becomes an on-demand class on the CreativeLive platform after the fact.
No. The whole point is putting working RED bodies in the hands of people who've never run one. Komodo X and V-Raptor packages are on the floor — you'll get hands-on time regardless of what you shoot on day-to-day.
A laptop with DaVinci Resolve installed (free version is fine), a fast SSD if you want to walk out with the footage, and a notebook. Cameras, lights, audio and grip are all supplied in the room.
Yes. The post-production masterclass on Sunday is sold separately for people who only want the edit and colour deep-dive. Day One alone is also fine if you can't make Sunday.
Yes — each city's music video gets released by the artist after the tour. You'll get credited as part of the crew on the videos shot in your city. The behind-the-scenes also becomes part of the Backstage to Broadcast documentary follow-up.
No. The Sydney livestream gets you the talking-head, panel and shoot-block content via CreativeLive. It does not get you hands on a RED, time in the colour seat, or the room with the artist. If you can be in a city, be in a city.
