Although I think the concept of the camp is really good, I find it strange that someone would go and pay for someone to teach them how to shoot. Its such a personal thing to develop how one shoots footage, and although many people do need to be educated on the technical side of filming/editing, I think the filmers themselves should decide how to film, and develop their own creative style instead of being taught by someone, even pros.
wallisch is chubbs. But anyways i would love love love to attend one of these camps,i just still cant justify that much money. Maybe ill do the woodward at tahoe one
@B.Taillefer; I completely agree with you. However, having attended the camp I can say that in no way did the coaches choose our shots for us. The learning atmosphere was completely free and open for camper interpretation, allowing us to move around at will, in a work-shop fashion. Most instruction was received during editing and adjusting camera settings. I find that this was well represented in the article itself, as many edits were completed in different filming styles. For instance, Liam chose to include a variety of follow-cams, Raj used close-ups to achieve a sense of movement and impact, and Nic incorporated a variety of smooth steady cams and cut-away shots. These elements were chosen by each individual filmer, and reflected their style of cinematography in contrast to those of other campers. I believe this was exactly the result Johnny and Darren wanted to see from the film portion of the camp.
did anyone see a picture in one of the slide show edits of a skier wearing atomics going into the airbag and you can see his bases and its taken from the left side.Ive seen it but can't find it through these edits
