Program #1: Wedding Day Cinematography
 Konrad (Krazy K) Czystowski from Freshsox 




Konrad will explore all the challenges of 
being a good DOP when shooting weddings and how to overcome them. Learn how to turn an average shot into a money shot by mastering lighting, composition, lens choice and movement.
WHAT WILL BE COVERED:
  • challenges of shooting a fast paced live event that a wedding is and overcoming them 
  • keeping a balance between "covering" the day and producing beautiful imagery - ingredients of a great shot 
  • turning a good shot into a great one (before and afters) 
Konrad's Bio and Examples of Work:

Affectionately known as Krazy K for enthusiastic dancing skills as well as his energetic spirit, Konrad has taken the event video industry by storm in a relatively short time. With a strong artistic desire, Konrad moved from acting out the story in front of the camera to capturing the story from behind the lens. After being inspired by his own wedding video produced by a talented team of producers in his home country of Poland, Konrad picked up the camera in his new home country of Canada and became one of the most sought after wedding film makers around the globe.
Since then Konrad has been producing beautifully crafted images, crazy Steadicam work and mind blowing Same Day Edits across the world. His talents have been recognized this year as he was honored as part of the EventDV 25 Hottest Event Videographers as recognition of the time he has spent travelling across four continents sharing his knowledge and skills with the desire to see event video production industry develop and get the recognition it deserves.
" I love and respect other people sharing and helping others. Thanks to them, I am where I am now. I want to share and inspire in return." - Konrad
