Between The Scenes: A Cinematography Workshop with Philip LeMoyne

Everything that happens between the scenes.

Cinematography goes beyond lens choices and camera movement — it’s about leadership, collaboration, and creating an environment where your creative vision can come to fruition. This 3-hour, hands-on workshop with acclaimed cinematographer Philip LeMoyne will take you behind the camera — not just technically, but practically — to explore the often-overlooked dynamics that make a production successful.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to build and manage a crew
• How to foster creative collaboration on set
• How to run a set and lead your team with effective leadership
• How to think through some of the technical decisions when making your vision come to life
• How to navigate the moments between "Action" and "Cut" — when the real work happens

About Philip LeMoyne:

With over a decade of experience across narrative and commercial productions, Philip LeMoyne’s work has reached millions — from festival premieres to billboards in Times Square. His deep research into modern cinematography technologies (both film and digital) informs every frame he shoots. As a partner at Toronto-based production company Ten Four Pictures, Philip brings a wealth of real-world expertise to every project — and to every workshop.

Workshop Format:*

• Introduction & expectations
• Crew walk-through: roles, workflows, and responsibilities
• Set simulation with live actors/models
• Break & Q&A
• Second set session with dynamic adjustments
• Closing remarks and takeaways

This is not a lecture. This is a live, interactive mock set environment designed to simulate real-world production conditions — where you'll gain practical, applicable knowledge you can take directly to your own projects.
