Taught by a Working Cinematographer
Not a Content Creator
I'm Sebastien Ricci — 21+ years shooting on real sets. I've been the DP on the Absolut Vodka commercial, independent films, and an Amazon Prime series, handled aerial cinematography for major-label productions, and directed music videos across the US and Europe.
Everything in this course is the same cinematography I use on real productions — applied to the phone in your pocket.
Works With the Tools You Already Use
Learn practical tools and workflows that support better smartphone content — without making things complicated.
Create Content People Actually Want to Watch
Most phone content looks forgettable because it lacks light, movement, composition, and intention. This course helps you fix that.
Create cleaner, more cinematic visuals
Use simple, practical workflows
Get more control over quality, style, and movement
What This Course Is — And What It Isn't
This course teaches you to push a phone to its absolute cinematic limit using to real cinematography techniques. It is the most cinematic phone filmmaking course you'll find — by a wide margin.
It is not a substitute for high-end film production with cinema cameras, full crews, and professional sets. Those workflows belong to a different category and a different course. What you'll get here: phone content that looks dramatically more professional than 95% of mobile content out there — using the same cinematography principles I use on real productions.

Private Community + Live Access
Real Support, Real Feedback — Not a Silent Course
Private Community Access Ask questions, share your work, and get clarity when you're stuck — so you're never guessing, overthinking, or losing time experimenting blindly.
Weekly Live Q&A Sessions — every Sunday, 11am PT (2pm ET) Live sessions where I answer your real questions, review your work, and break down the exact problems you're facing — not pre-recorded, not generic. Because the modules are still rolling out, these weekly calls bridge the gap: if there's something you need answered now, bring it live and get it directly from me.
1-on-1 coaching with me is $150/session. With Founder Access you get a live group Q&A every week — four sessions a month, included free. Do the math on what that access is worth.
Why This Matters
Most courses give you videos — and disappear.
This gives you access, feedback, and direction while the system is still being refined.
Once the Founder Edition closes:
• As more students join, live answer-time per person shrinks — Founders get the most direct access to me there will ever be
• Weekly live sessions become bi-weekly
• Course direction is locked
Founder-Level Course Influence As an early member, your feedback directly shapes upcoming lessons, workflows, and priorities inside the course. This level of influence does not exist once the course is finalized.
Included FREE during Pre-Launch
Not available after the Founder Access closes.

Meet Your Instructor
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR — SEBASTIEN RICCI
I didn't start with connections, money, or film school. I started in a basement with a borrowed camera, learning every part of production the hard way — lighting, composition, sound, editing, color — one project at a time. 21 years later, I'm still on real sets. The gear has changed. The principles haven't.
I've shot the Absolut Vodka commercial, served as DP on independent films and an Amazon Prime series, handled aerial cinematography for major-label productions, and directed music videos for artists including Kyle Massey (That's So Raven) and independent artists across the US and Europe. Trained in both cinematography and sound engineering. Based between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, originally from Paris.
Inside CineMaster Academy, I teach the production principles I learned the slow way — distilled into structured systems you can actually apply. The tools change every year. The fundamentals don't.
If I could build this from scratch with nothing but persistence, so can you.
If you've bought filmmaking courses before, you know the feeling: they get
you started, then leave you stuck — because most are taught by marketers and
creators, not working cinematographers. The footage stops looking cinematic
the moment you look closely. That's the gap I'm building CineMaster Academy
to close — real DP craft, taught at the level the others never reach, across
phone, cinema, and AI. What you're getting today already goes past what's
out there. And as a Founder, you don't just get today's version — you own
everything it becomes.
