About the workshop:
This exclusive Silver Workshop Plus is a 4 day immersion experience for students from raw beginners to experienced operator wishing to improve their techniques.
We use the larger rigs from the M-Series and while we base the first section of the workshop around the Tiffen Steadicam Silver and Gold Course syllabus' we then move on to more complex shot building and sophisticated techniques.
Unlike the Gold Workshop, This event will be non-residential and make use of all the time available for practical work during the day and lectures in the evening.
We have a reputation of finding great operators as instructors so students have a fantastic opportunity to chat about real life experiences and draw experience from the best.
More details on the Gold and Silver syllabus' can be found .
