More than just a stabilizer, it is able to provide an individual style to the production often greatly desired by producers and directors. Additionally complex moving scenes can be not only quicker to shoot but also more dramatic adding pace and dimension to the shot. The Tiffen International Steadicam Workshop is a unique opportunity for working camera operators to learn the use and application of Steadicam within the film and television world. The workshop is very much hands-on with plenty of practical time actually wearing and using the system. The Silver Workshop is a three day workshop designed to get beginners to Steadicam operating in the shortest possible time but often also attended by operators with some Steadicam experience. We use the larger rigs within the M-Series range and base the workshop around the Tiffen Steadicam Short Course syllabus. This covers all basic techniques and looks at blocking out shots, compositional aspects and timing. We are also incorporating the Steadicam Volt and new Volt 3 into the syllabus. The workshop is non-residential but a light working lunch is provided. There will be a choreographed and recorded sequence at the end of the course which will be reviewed with the group.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorkshop Aims \u003c\/strong\u003eThe aim of this training programme is to provide the necessary skills and background for a working camera operator to make use of a Steadicam system to best effect and safely.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraining Duration \u003c\/strong\u003eThree days\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraining Approach \u003c\/strong\u003eThe course approach is a combination of hands on and instructor driven however always kept very practical and relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraining Objectives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn completion of the training programme the participants will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssemble the Steadicam and fit camera and all accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the principles of operation of a Steadicam.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalance the system correctly including dynamic balance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePut on and adjust the operators vest for best fit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjust the suspension arm for the camera weight.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand rest positions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStart and stop smoothly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePost pan sled.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody pan sled.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrack shooting sideways.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircle the subject.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWalk forward shoot back.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitch forward and back.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandle actor sitting and standing from a chair.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTackle steps and stairs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandle corners and corridors to best advantage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChange to low mode.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand blocking out a shot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHave knowledge of working in adverse conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCommunicate with clients and directors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is by no means an exhaustive list and there will be many other skills and techniques passed on during the course of the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssessment and Certification System \u003c\/strong\u003eParticipant assessment is via continuous monitoring and appraisal over the workshop followed by test piece.
