It's very hard men....the workshop is very intense.
Organization is great, all instructors are very good.
Hollway and Brown are very friendly but ask very much to us and this is a great challenge.
this is Second Day and we are all tired...so much things to do, to learn but i like it.
we will finish on 9th...... Shocked

I forgot cable to transfer pics...so i have to find a solution...
keep the faith.

You're also lucky to have Chris Fawcett there. He's a great guy, incredibly knowledgable and very eager to discuss and share his viewpoints and experience. I wanted to be at that workshop, too, but the airfare was prohibitive.

Chris is a very good man...very good operator, he gave us a lot of suggestions and he is also a crazy man !

Price is almost affordable.
I paid 2500 euros and more 400 for accomodation (sleep).
During all the period (6 days) we have breakfast, coffe break, lunch, afternoon break and dinner.
20 people in 5 group of 4, with 1 steadicam for group.
The workshop is organized so that every day we have been teached by all trainers.
Practice and theory are well balanced and organized, and every technic has been explained in all aspects.
To do this workshop i had to do a little sacrifice but i think it's the most good thing i have ever done.

I will miss all this.  Cry

Ok, today is the last one... Cry
We are working on crane and hard veichle mount.
Mr. Brown is commenting our master shoot one by one with each operator.
In other place someone else is still working on some fun basic exercises suggested by Mr. Holway.

what else...
I hope to show you more pics as i will arrive at home this night.

I have no words to describe this experience.
