Fresh off the set of Siberia (2018) starring Keanu Reeves, Canadian camera operator Keith Murphy will be in T&T in June for the next instalment of the Lisa Wickham MasterClass Series. Murphy has an illustrious award-winning career spanning 43 years and over 100 IMDB (Internet Movie Database) credits in film, television and live TV sports, working with numerous Oscar and Emmy award winners and nominees in Canada, USA, Ireland and T&T.
Some of Murphy’s credits include, The Resident Evil Series, Total Recall, Designated Survivor, Return of Xander Cage, The Tudors, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 & 2, Shoot ‘Em Up, Jumper, Kick Ass 2, Chucky, Bride of Chucky and over 100 more credits. A release said Murphy and Wickham met on the set of the award-winning film Home Again, which was filmed here in 2012.
Murphy intends to share the ways in which he approaches his work on some of Hollywood’s major productions covering topics such as creativity, working with the director and cinematographer, bringing the writer’s words to screen, being a team leader, diplomacy and how to tell stories visually. Murphy will also touch on the fitness requirement of a camera operator.
According to Wickham, this MasterClass is in keeping with her objective to share some of her knowledge and expertise and that of her colleagues from around the world who are at the top of their game, with the people of T&T and the rest of the Caribbean.
In the recently held Producer’s MasterClass, participants came from as far as Montserrat to learn from the acclaimed Trinidadian producer. Wickham surprised participants with a live video link up with US-based network and film producer-director Ryan Richmond and independent producer-acting coach, Carnetta Jones.
Lisa Wickham’s Camera Operator’s MasterClass with Keith Murphy will take place on June 3 at the Cascadia Hotel in St Ann’s.
