"Éclairer, c'est créer des ombres"

"To light is to create shadows"

Workshop7 - Incubated by the ONY Booster, the Workshop 7 project is an A to Z film production workshop founded by the Malagasy director Zo ....
Ony Academy is a school dedicated to the practice of cinema, music, 3D animation, and video games for young people. It organizes training in the form of practical workshops and online training modules.
For 4 days, students from ONY Academy Workshop 7, as well as students from the Maison du Cinéma Malagasy, had the opportunity to participate in a summer school focused on lighting and framing in cinema and animation.
This training was led by Pascal Montjovent, a director of photography for over 30 years, a cinematographic lighting instructor, and a virtual reality director.
This training, which combines theory and practice, aimed to enable students to master lighting and framing in animation and live-action filmmaking, based on lighting exercises in the studio and on location.
A set of skills were acquired by the students:
- Light quality
- Light direction
- Context and environment analysis
- Fundamental concepts of light and shadow
- Relationship between framing and lighting
- Creation of spaces and volumes with lighting
A huge thank you to Pascal Montjovent, a director of photography for over 30 years (film, digital, and 3D), a cinematographic lighting instructor, and a virtual reality director, for leading this summer school and sharing his expertise and know-how.
Thanks also to the Maison du Cinéma Malagasy for making this collaboration possible!
