Just finished the Cinematography Part 2 Masterclass. Excellent class. Hands on experience. Zoran allowed the students to experiment and try different lighting techniques. I learned a lot. Nothing beats being in an environment with a professional tutor. Thanks Zoran

An amazing two day Masterclass on cinematography. Zoran huge enthusiasm to share his experience and creative approaches to storytelling, made it a five stars course. The perfect balance of theory and practical exercises, with accessible delivery, makes this course very valuable not only for cinematographers, but also for producers and directors. Many thanks Zoran!

I really enjoyed the masterclass! Was a great hands on experience too. I liked having the opportunity to light many different scenes and to talk through some of the famous scenes on film. Thank you Zoran!

A great experience I really enjoyed this masterclass as there were many opportunities to light scenes and get involved…It was very “Hands on”. Thank you Zoran!

I would recommend this class to any aspiring filmmaker.
Successful collaboration between Director and Cinematographer in essence lies in mutual agreement of the visual style and creative approach to the story. Understanding the science behind the craft, the tools and techniques available to the Cinematographer and how they choose to apply these elements is key to this successful collaboration.
During his two day Masterclass, Zoran shares his experience, enthusiasm, and passion for the craft through a balanced mix of theory, examples of his own work and hands on practical exercises, where students are allowed to experiment with different techniques in lighting and lens craft, learning how to bring scenes to life.
If I were to sum up in one word, “Inspirational”.
Many thanks to Zoran and to Raindance

Once again feeling extremely inspired by Zoran’s Masterclass!!
We had a chance to create inspired scenes from chosen movies and had a hands on experience working with setting up lights, cameras and all necessary equipment.
It is a great way to practice creative thinking to any set problems we can encounter and how to find solutions and keep the team spirits high.
Zoran’s knowledge, experience and passion is absolutely contagious and I could not recommend more to go and check it for yourself! Huge value in a short period of time. Just fantastic! Thank you again Zoran for sharing your enthusiasm and joy of creation with us. And thank you Raindance for making it all happen!

Whilst I enjoyed the course, I must be honest and say that – for a course entitled “Hands On” – there were precious few opportunities for practical work. The opportunity to light and shoot a scene only occurred on the afternoon of the second day. Three-quarters of the course was theory, lectures and videos. Extremely enjoyable, but I think the general feeling was that a group of highly motivated individuals who had given up their weekend would already know much of the theory and just wanted to get on and shoot stuff. I would like to be constructive, so I wonder if much of the theory could be covered in pre-reading or perhaps some online videos, to be viewed ahead of attendance, so that the entire weekend might be concerned with the “hands on” aspects in future? I enjoyed it very much, but it can’t fairly be described as a “Hands on masterclass”.

A really excellent masterclass by a master of his craft. Having now spent over a week with Zoran (part 1 and part 2), I feel that there’s not much he doesn’t know on his subject. He is patient, clear, passionate and has a real interest in sharing this hugely complicated subject with his students. I now have a much clearer idea of how a DP works, what they are contributing to a project (which is critical) and how best to communicate with them. Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge as a Director (which was the case for me) or looking to depend your knowledge / interested in pursuing a career as a cinematographer, this course is a must.

From the moment I arrived at Rain Dance , Denise, Roger and Zoran made me feel totally welcome .. The course (cinematography 2) was the perfect forum to meet like minded film makers; study, discuss and break down cinematography in great detail . Zoran is an absolute master of his craft and It was a privilege to have the opportunity to study some of his work and ask him (in extreme detail) how he was able to create some of his looks . Loads of take home and a really enjoyable weekend . Thank you so much 🙂

Amazing two day masterclass by a tutor whose passion and 30-year experience is truly inspirational. I greatly enjoyed analysing looks from given films and the possibility to reproduce some of them. Zoran willingness to pass on his knowledge and enthusiasm to us made this course so engaging. Thank you Zoran.
Elliot Grove –
Thanks for your kind words Patrice and best for your upcoming projects.

Spent a fantastic weekend learning all things cinematography from Zoran. Having already done the Basic Cinematography class here I was looking forward to the ‘Hands On’ follow-up and it was as inspiring, instructive and fun as I expected. Definitely recommend! 🙂

A very hands on experience. Just what you need when you have the passion and knowledge that you want to put into practice! Zoran guides you through a number of real-life scenes and situations and adapts the course to your needs. He is a master and very approachable. Lighting can sometimes be very intimidating but Zoran makes it accessible!
