EXPOSURE: Photo & Film Camp
NEW for 2012 - Momentum EXPOSURE!
Session 3: July 6 – 14th
Momentum is offering a new action sports Photo & Film Camp this summer, which will run alongside our well-established ski programs.
What better location to hone your shooting and editing skills than in beautiful Whistler, using some of the world’s best skiers, riders and bikers as your subject matter. We will bring together some of the top filmmakers and photographers in the action sports industry to act as your mentors and instructors.
Whistler offers a wealth of action sports subject matter from skiing and snowboarding on the glacier, to mountain biking, skateboarding, bungee jumping, watersports, etc all set against a breathtaking scenic backdrop.
With a combined Photo & Film Camp your options are to specialize in either camp or do a mix of both, the choice is yours.
PHOTOGRAPHY: The Photography program will be directed by renown action Sports Photographer Blake Jorgenson from Whistler Outdoor Photography. Blake is a much sort after professional whose photos have graced the covers of magazines for over a decade and been used in hugely successful ad campaigns. He knows how to capture light and action in the mountains in a uniquely artistic fashion and his work is also highly prized art, exhibited in Whistler’s Adele Campbell Gallery. He will adapt his already established workshops in Whistler to focus on the skiing action sports side of Momentum Camps plus bring his wealth of experience in shooting the many other action sports around Whistler.
FILM: On the Film side, we will be working with filmers from both Poor Boyz Productions and Voleurz. Poor Boyz helped lead the skiing revolution when it began in the late 90′s with the Movie 13 and since then has continued to produce some of the best action sports films in the industry. Voleurz, is a clothing company disguised as a film company or the other way around, we are not sure! They have won multiple awards for their highly creative and entertaining approach to film-making and recently scooped the INTERSECTION filmmakers award at the WSSF for the 2nd year in a row.
What you will Learn and Create:
The camp will offer training and workshops in both technical and creative aspects of action sports film and photography, as well as creative and professional editing techniques. You will learn about all the latest digital equipment, editing and postproduction software, uploading to web platforms, etc.
Ideally you should aim to create a finished edit/slideshow by the end of the session that can be profiled through Momentum channels, to a large audience of campers, as well as through camp sponsors and FB sites – giving you great exposure as up and coming shooters!
Program:
Geared for teens and young adults, the program will consist of practical shooting sessions on the glacier, in the bike park, or at other select locations; editing sessions at the camp hotel; seminars & workshops by your coaches along with special and special night shoot up on the glacier.
As with our ski camps, you can opt for a Full Package all-inclusive camp which covers transfers, food and accommodation or choose the Instruction-Only Package if you want to make your own arrangements.
You must have your own SLR camera and/or video camera and ideally a laptop computer. There will be Apple computers available at camp. Applicable software such as Adobe Light Room or Adobe Photoshop should be installed on your computer or a free trial can be downloaded for use in the workshops. Be prepared to ski/ride into the glacier for on-snow action shoots (intermediate ski terrain). Rental gear can be arranged. Non skiers can be accommodated.
