Corey Lipske Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hello everyone! I’m brand new to the forum, and I’m super stoked to be a part of this community. I’m somewhat green with film in general, but I’ve been practicing some Steadicam stuff with the Zephyr vest and sled on an A30 arm. I’m interested in doing a workshop and I’m stuck trying to decide between the AbelCine Silver workshop and the SOA workshop. What are the pros and cons of each workshop, if anyone has any experience with either/both? Thank you all in advance, and happy flying, Corey.

Premium Members Cory Spawn Posted September 16, 2021 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I just got back from the SOA gold workshop. Well worth the investment. The Gold workshop will cover everything from the silver one, but then goes beyond what you would learn in the silver workshop with lots of work in more advanced shots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate salvatti Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 SOA workshop in CA was great! Seven full days of immersion, and we got to practice on full-size rigs as well as vehicle mounts towards the end… i’ve heard AbelCine workshops are led by some of the same supporting instructors from SOA’s (for example Nic Somera), but the rigs used are the smaller ones like the Zephyr, etc. as well as the curriculum being much more condensed and rushed as AbelCine Silver maxes out at 3 days (I believe) rather than 5 or 7 like SOA’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Lipske Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yup. I ended up doing the SOA in PA last October. Definitely worth the investment. I went in with 6 months of bad habits operating goofy, and left with few, operating standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Webb Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hello all,, does anyone know of any workshops coming up in the Seattle area? I am brand new to the group and steadicam. I just bought my first (entry level) rig, a flycam setup... I mainly work in sports, I am very excited about this new step in my career Thanks Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
