Nelson,

 

Una pena que no puedas asistir, la proxima vez sera.

 

Contamos con UN equipo completo por cada cuatro alumnos, y estos seran probablemente un Ultimate (XCS) un PRO, un Artemis y Un Master Series confirmados por ahora. Lo bueno de este curso como se explica en el programa es que uno podra probar cuatro marcas distintas y comparar sus diferentes criterios en funcion del disenio y la interpretacion de las nesecidades de un operador.

En Cuanto a la certificacion, nosotros entregamos un certificado de participacion en el Curso.

 

Saludos.

 

Matias Mesa

Me temo, que no hay operadores internacionales o profesores acreditados por Tiffen...

Entonces es un workshop de Matias Mesa... (Ojo, no dudo en ningun momento de tu profesionalidad o capacidad).

Saludos

Hello Juan

 

Unfortunately we are committed to the NAB exhibition shortly after and would not be able to move the equipment around in time.

We are not Tiffen and we are not, at any time, saying we are.

The reason we are not a Tiffen workshop is because they are committed to NAB around those dates. However, we will have Chris fawcett and probably Jeremy Benning teaching together with me.

We found this time to be the appropriate time for the workshop because the weather is perfect in Buenos Aires for what the workshop needs and we still have plenty of daylight.

How is it bad not being "Tiffen supported"? Is Tiffen the only Corporation capable of teaching steadicam? Isn't about the instruction and the equipment you use while you learn? When I took my first steadicam workshop, about 15 years ago in Miami, it was organized by Media Lighting (a company that no longer exist) and the leading instructor was Jerry Hill, it was great and I learned a lot, actually it was my first contact with a steadicam. Since that day I devoted my career to steadicam operating.

A couple of years later, I took a Malibu Classic; It was great as well, but it was all about Tiffen rigs. Unfortunately I fell for the Master series, after a lot of open heart surgery into the electronics and stuff like that, served good for many years. From my personal experience, I wish I was given the option to try different rigs on the spot, I would've chosen better and learned more about our noble instrument. Different manufacturers do things differently, we operators know that but students don't.

We are putting together a great team of instructors, great selection and state of the art equipment (XCS Rigs, Pro rigs, Tiffen rigs, Satchler Rigs, front mountes vests, Back mounted harnesses, cranes, Handsfree transporter, quadcam, Camera car, etc). A great team of people is working to make this workshop be the first of many in South America and to make it a memorable experience.

To be a community we all have to contribute to build one.

 

Hope to see you all in Buenos Aires.
