Please join us on Wednesday March 6th from 6-9 PM at NOVAC for our “The Art of Cinematography” workshop with Nathan Tape!

We will explore how to utilize composition, lighting, camera movement, color, and depth of field to tell the most dynamic visual story possible. Nathan will share his extensive knowledge of lighting and camera that he has learned in his time as a gaffer, cinematographer and director. In the workshop we will shoot an example of basic coverage in a scene.

Nathan Tape

Nathan Tape grew up in the Deep South and started making movies as a teenager with his family’s home video camera, using their VCR for editing. As a Filmmaker, Nathan tells stories about outsiders on the fringes of society. With his background in photography and music, his films have a bold visual style and exhibit a strong connection to music. Nathan began his career in the lighting department on major Hollywood productions, soon graduating to becoming a Gaffer for films and television (Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Night Teeth, Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger). Meanwhile, Nathan continued to work as cinematographer on various short films (Stick Up, One Last Ride) as well as feature films (The King of New Orleans, Demigod). In 2022 Nathan directed his first feature film: OFF RAMP. A film about a couple of lovable, degenerate Juggalos who must sojourn through America's hellish underbelly to The Gathering of the Juggalos, the one place on earth they feel accepted. Nathan lives in New Orleans and is a big fan of peanut butter and the New Orleans Saints.
