Portable Power Distribution and Electrics for Motion Picture Production

2021

Presented by Richard Cadena, ETCP RT/CEE live online

Portable Power Distribution and Electrics is two-day online course taught for five hours each day with additional research topics and resources. It covers almost all of the topics listed in the content outline of the ETCP Portable Power Distribution Technician Certification exam. 

It is designed to accommodate a range of skills and experience, starting with basic electricity, circuit laws, and theory, and building towards more advanced topics including power distribution, power factor, and harmonics, with an emphasis on electrical safety, the use of PPE, codes and regulations, grounding and bonding, and GFCIs. The training platform allows attendees to ask questions and interact with the instructor.

Spotlight Drafting is a two-session course, that teaches motion picture professionals how to use Vectorworks Spotlight to create Light Plots for film and television

Vectorworks 103 – High Intermediate Concepts
This class makes the jump to drafting completely in 3D. We re-create a set from the Major Motion Picture “Dr. Sleep” where we recreate the exact materials that are necessary to be presented at the highest level of film and television production.

Vectorworks 104 – Advanced Concepts
This class focuses on 3D modeling and complex Rendering. We craft a 3D lighting device and use this exercise to familiarize the students with the tools and processes to create full and complete 3D models and renderings.

Suggested Prerequisite: Completion of the 101/102 module or commensurate drafting experience.
