Masterclass with Denson Baker ACS
10am - 4pm Saturday 24 July 2010
PAC Screen Workshop graduate Denson Baker ACS will share the techniques he
used working as Cinematographer on The Waiting City and The
Black Balloon in a Masterclass to be held on Saturday 24 July.
The Waiting City was shot on RED ONE. Denson’s work on The
Waiting City has been described as the best example of
“organic” and cinematic looking digital cinematography. Denson
will demonstrate the lighting he used to achieve this cinematic look as well as discuss using the RED ONE.
Denson will also explain how the cinematography on The Black Balloon was employed to capture a nostalgic
feeling without too much sentimentality. The film was shot on 35mm film and set in the 1990’s in an Australian
suburb but both Denson and director, Elissa Down, used their memories of Perth as a reference.
Denson Baker ACS is a graduate of the Australian Film Television & Radio School where he was the
Cinematographer of the year in 1999.
In 2002 Denson won the AFI Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Feature for his work on the
ScreenWest funded short film, Jack. Denson has worked internationally shooting in Europe, India, Korea,
New Zealand, The Pacific and throughout Australia. He has shot films that have won awards and screened in
most major international film festivals including Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, Clermont-Ferrand, Flickerfest,
Berlin, LA, among others.
Denson’s recent cinematography credits include The Black Balloon, winner of the Crystal Bear at the Berlin
International Film Festival, Steve Pasvolsky’s feature film Deck Dogz and Daniel Askil’s internationally
acclaimed short film We Have Decided Not to Die as well as recent music videos for Old Man River, Jimmy
Barnes, The Presets, Cut Copy and Paul Mac.
