WHAT INDUSTRY PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CAMERA CLASS - THE LATEST
PRACTICAL ELEMENT...
'I especially enjoyed the practical element of shooting my own stuff, and then being critiqued along with the rest of the class so we can all learn from each other's mistakes.'
Natalie Davis: Production Assistant, Triple J TV, ABC (July 08)
WHEN SOUND WAS EXPLAINED TO US...
'Great course - got a lot out of it. Particularly found the 2nd day great when sound was explained to us. Very good, patient teachers. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.'
Louisa Clark: Director's Assistant, triple j tv, ABC TV (July 08)
I AM NOW CONFIDENT THAT IN TIME...
'Doing this course with two top professionals like Tony and Leo made me realise the difficulty in combining the technical knowledge required with the creativity desired. However, whilst reaching such levels is most likely well beyond me, I am now confident that, in time, I will be able to handle a simple shoot solo when necessary.'
Ted Sheedy: Creative Director, Sheeds Creative. (July 08)
LEFT ME FEELING TOTALLY REASSURED...
'With such a wealth of real industry experience Tony and Leo were able to deliver information in an authoritative way which has left me feeling totally reassured about my future projects... you have strengthened my relationship with my equipment and I no longer feel overwhelmed by it.'
Andrei Dickenson (July 08)
A VALUABLE INVESTIMENT...
'I've already put the class material into practice, so the course has been a valuable investment for my business. Thanks again.'
Sarah Antill: Producer (July 08)
A COMPLETE NOVICE...
'I came to the course as a complete novice with a video camera. After two days of intense discovery with Tony, Leo and my classmates I have become more intimate and confident with my camera and its capability. I can now focus on capturing the interviews and stories for our radio station.'
Andrew Morris: New Technologies Manager, Sydney's 103.2 FM
WELL STRUCTURED...
'Weekend course was genuinely enjoyable and well structured. Found myself making friends with the camera, understanding it and might be going on future (Advanced courses) dates.'
Sally Virgoe: Researcher at Sunday ARTS
I DIDN'T THINK THAT A WEEKEND COURSE...
I can thoroughly recommend the weekend Camera Workshop which I attended recently. Tony and Leo's methods of communicating with beginners (like me) inspired me to great heights with the camera. I didn't think that a weekend course would kick-start me, but it did. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and look forward to more tuition and fine tuning from them in the future.
Silvio Rivier: Producer/Presenter SBS TV
THE TRAINING TEAM HAS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE...
'Very useful in turning my basic camera operation skills into something I could potentially use in the field, as well as in my work in developing countries where many journalists don't yet have access to these courses. The training team has a wealth of experience and Leo and Tony are generous in sharing it. Leo is a great trainer and Tony's Tips are gold'
Clare Arthurs: Reporter and Journalism Trainer, London
I WAS HUGELY IMPRESSED...
'It's a big step to go from radio to video journalism and begin working with DV cameras. I was hugely impressed with what Tony and Leo were able to cover during their weekend workshop. I'd recommend the workshop to anyone looking for an introduction to video cameras, filming techniques, sound and lighting.'
Guy Degan: Freelance Journalist
MUCH MORE CONFIDENT...
Tony and Leo's course is very well presented and easy to understand. I enjoyed the emphasis on practical, hands on training. I am now much more confident when rushing out the door to shoot things in the field.
Jake Lloyd Jones: Researcher/Producer, The Chaser's War on Everything
LEARN FROM EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE...
Thought it was a great balance of theory and practise - was great to review to everyone's tapes as well as my own to learn from everyone's experience.
Rebecca Casson: Producer, ABC TV
HOW MUCH I LEARNED IN ONE SHORT WEEKEND...
It was remarkable how much I learned in one short weekend about working with my new camera and achieving high quality images and sound. Tony and Leo not only managed to convey a huge amount of information but they made it extremely accessible and a great deal of fun as well. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in working in small format video production.
Stefan Moore: Producer/Director
I NOW HAVE A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING...
'This course has filled in all the bits and pieces. I now have a very good understanding of what is needed to make a good shot. It was really worth the money and I will be back for an advanced course after some more practice.'
Ben LeMasurier: Designer
KNOWING YOUR CAMERA AND STAYING IN CONTROL...
Attending the camera class with Tony and Leo was very inspirational for me. Actually knowing your camera and staying in control with the technical side of filming gives me more space to be creative and concentrate on story-telling and framing a nice image.
Sabine Albers: Photographer
IT FILLED IN THE MISSING GAPS...
The course was everything I had hoped for... and a wee bit more. It filled in the missing gaps in my knowledge and allowed me to join the dots with everything I already knew about film. And was fun too!
Sarah Linton: Freelance director
I HAD FUN TOO...
'Leo and Tony make you feel comfortable. Apart from learning a great deal, I had fun too. I recommend the CameraClass workshop to anyone wanting to develop their hands-on Camera, and basic Microphone and Lighting operation skills. I now feel, with more experience, much more capable of capturing a story well.'
Tom Lane
WELL ADAPTED...
'Well chosen wisdom from the best professionals, accessibly expressed, and well adapted individually to students' levels of experience.'
