Workshop dates: February 6 - February 10, 2013
Capturing winter sports and outdoor events presents logistical, physical and
camera operator challenges, as well as opportunities that are not considerations
in temperature friendly and controlled environments. To be able to effectively
plan, shoot and edit winter sports and events is a skill that will greatly increase
opportunities for producers, cinematographers and anyone interested in doing
film production in cold and often unforgiving environments. The class will conduct
preproduction, production and edit pieces shot at the Camden Snow Bowl during
the Toboggan Nationals Week, an event that draws people to Maine from all over
the world.
Using the Canon’s DSLR’s like the 5D, Canon XF300 HD Video Cameras
and the Go Pro. Students cover the Toboggan Nationals, including interviews
and the colorful characters and events of the “midway” that comes
to life around the race. In addition, students shoot winter sports such as snowboarding,
skiing, and ice-skating using both static and moving cameras. Safety for all
class participants will be of the first priority as it is when shooting any
production in uncontrolled environments. Participants in this class should be
prepared to work in cold and unpredictable weather and be physically able to
walk and work in snow. Proper winter attire will be mandatory. The ability to
ski or ice skate is also helpful but not mandatory to take the class.
Tuition includes the following: Breakfast, Feb. 6, 7 and 8; Lunch, Feb. 6 and
7. All other meals are on your own.
