On Campus Steadicam Workshop

This program has already garnered great interest in the educational community. The On-Campus Steadicam Workshops presents the full experience without the cost and strain of removing students from campus. There is a special reduced tuition rate for the On-Campus Steadicam Workshop that is made possible because of the participation of the college or university in providing the workshop venue, as well as other discounts built into the student program.

This workshop does cover the entire set of fundamentals of Steadicam Operating, including work on stairs, running shots and low-mode operation. Students are trained for a 1 ½ days and then each student performs a Test Shot during the afternoon of Day 2. The group screens all Test Shots with an eye towards building on the foundations established during the Workshop.

Class size is set at minimum of 6 and a maximum of 9 students per 2-day Workshop. Tiffen will supply two or more lightweight Steadicam Flyer systems as required with accessories, along with instruction manuals, Steadicam t-shirts and Certificates of Completion for each student.

The hosting school will supply 2 or 3 Mini-DV, and will provide workshop space on campus. A lab assistant is provided by the host school for this Workshop. loan from The Tiffen Company.
