WHY ATTEND OUR WORKSHOPS?
Most TV and Film workshops are focussed towards working with pale, light and white skin tones for camera and many crews have very little - to no knowledge of how to properly light, stage and capture brown and dark skin tones to full effect. Ananse Arts creates workshops that is both culturally and physically relevant to those from the Afro-Caribbean and African communities that is relevant, engaging and extremely practical.
Our workshops help teach students about the unique ways of understanding how to work with brown and black skin tones. By understanding the way that Black and brown skin tones absorb light differently and need to be lit and worked with, students can feel confident in creating content that showcases their skin tones to the fullest capacity.
