Our December Canon camera class Pro Level I students were treated to special guest speaker Dana Christiaansen, who shared his experiences working with the new EOS C300. Dana has extensive experience shooting commercial productions for car brands such as BMW, Suzuki and Scion, as well as others.

Dana gave us a taste of what it was like to work with him on the short film directed by Sam Nicholson, ‘XXIT‘, shot with the C300. Basically, you have to be ready to run! Keep an eye out for Part 2 and Part 3 where we explore technical aspects and lighting with Canon’s C300.

The rest of Dana’s filmography and videos of his works as a cinematographer can be viewed online.
