There appear to be a multitude of these in the US but none in the UK. Anyone aware of any good ones?

Just wanted to bounce this again in case anybody out there who missed it first time were aware of any courses?

Thanks Peter. Unfortunately the only one for filming seems to be workflow which I'm ok with at the moment

Hi Tim,

I'm with you on this I'd certainly like to see some training events/courses/masterclasses.

Closest we've had recently is one in London but was more of a series of seminars.

The Flash Centre - Converge 2 (http://www.theflashcentre.com/converge-2-c392.html)

I know Philip Bloom is the DSLR man of the moment and I keep an eye on his blog/twitter for UK events. He seems to be everywhere BUT the uk at the moment. Shame!

Agreed Neil, all seems very odd but I'm sure he'll be doing something here soon

Tim,

Not sure if I'm really allowed to say here (pls remove Chris if you feel this inappropriate). I've been looking at running some courses in the UK soon but I'm not sure about the interest level.

I've seen your great work Dan - I might be interested too - just depends when it might run (as I'm juggling a lot of stuff at the moment!)

Count me in too please Dan. I am very interested in your experiences as you are using Canon DSLRs as true hybrid cameras both for great stills & great video & not just concentrating on one or the other aspect.

Not sure If I'm allowed to post this (apologies to mods if im not) but I got this in my 'Shooting People' email today:

Saturday 17th July,
10:00 - 17:00
UCL, Euston, London
125ukp (112.50ukp for Shooting People members - quote SPinsight, 100ukp other concs.)

This Saturday workshop will cover how to use the new range of Canon DSLRs that can record 1080p HD video to a high standard for such a low price point. The Canon 7D will be used for demonstration purposes and differences with the other cameras will be covered.

The workshop will cover the benefits, such as image quality, small form factor, what high quality good value lenses are available and which ones to choose based on what you shoot, low light shooting and tapeless recording. We will also look at some of the issues experienced with this camera and how to deal with them, such as sound, handheld, focussing, file size limits and which accessories are available to make the most of these cameras. Included in the workshop will be how best to set up the camera, post production workflow, and alternative techniques.

About the Tutor:

Andrew Martin is an experienced DOP and camera operator who has worked on numerous films and promos using a range of cameras including Canon DSLRs.
