This 2.5 day workshop will explore the challenges and techniques required to perform at elite levels of the adrenaline-packed, large-budget, and high-stakes world of “Action” Operating. The workshop is designed for current operators at any level who are interested in developing valuable, hands-on, practical skills to excel in this exhilarating, but often intimidating, arena of our industry.
Veteran action–adventure camera operator/instructors will lead the workshop, sharing decades-learned techniques, valuable tips, and critical methodology in an environment where “perfection” is expected on TAKE ONE.
A staff of Professional Stunt Performers, Armorers, Dolly Grips, Crane Techs, Precision Drivers, and Camera Assistants will assist in real-world demonstrations and hands-on training exercises designed to give each student maximum exposure to common operating challenges.
Workshop Topics:
In this high-stakes environment, “missing” even ONE shot can have serious consequences. The skills competence taught in this workshop will be invaluable BEFORE that first day on the $300-million action movie.
