THE FILMMAKERS PERFECT SAILING TRIP

That was the goal, when the plans were hatched for this workshop. How can we get a great crew of people together, and press into furthering the craft of filmmaking. I want to help you learn how to tell stories that actually move people, build a personal brand, and also run a successful business while doing it. 

So on May 18, 2018 I will be leading an intensive Adventure Filmmaking Masterclass on board a sailing vessel, through the waters of Desolation Sound.

We will be onbaord the S.V. Porpoise, captained by the one and only Cap'n John. We will be exploring the stunning coastal waters of British Columbia

*There are only 5 spots available on this boat workshop.               

 This isn’t some sit back, cruise, it’s going to be a proper adventure on a sailboat. 

EDUCATION YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE

My highest priority is to make this trip as valuable as possible for the aspiring filmmaker, and those who already have an advanced skillset. This trip is geared towards those who have a base level understanding at a minium of the process of putting together videos. A basic understanding of cameras and the editing process. With this as the foundation, we will be pressing in on how to make videos that actually move people. How can we make our dream productions happen and make work we are proud of. 

My best experiences in the past 5 years for learning, have always occurred in person, when there is a hands on component, and we can really press in deeply. That is the philosophy and approach behind this trip. 

This won't be your typical classroom, or your typical boring presentation. We are going to press into the real world approach that actually allows you to make meaningful stories. 

We will have 5 days together and I want to unpack a lot. 

TOPICS: 

• My system for developing and telling stories
• The 5 Keys for incredible Stories
• The business side of filmmaking
• Drones
• Adventure Cinematography
• Gimbal movements and technique
• Lighting techniques in the field
• Building a Youtube Channel / online presence 

But the beauty of it, is this trip will be small and intimate. 

That means the attendants will have an active roll in shaping what content I actually end up finalizing for the workshop. For the attendants of the workshop, I will be asking you a series of questions before hand, that help shape the final content that makes it into the workshop. 

TRAVEL PLANS

The workshop starts at 6am on May 18th, and finishes the evening of the 22nd. 

Please prepare your flights and travels accordingly. Fly in no later than the 17th, and leave no earlier than the 23rd. 

ITINERARY

Levi will be picking up the participants at a designated location near North Vancouver at roughly 6 am on the 18th. 

We will then drive up the sunshine coast, take 2 ferries, and join Cap'n John and the Porpoise in Lund BC.  

From there we will be traveling by boat each day, and finding new anchorages along the waters of Desolation Sound. We will be boarding the boat in Lund BC, as driving up the coast helps us get a head start at getting into the remote waters and islands. We will be searching for hikes, beautiful views, animal sightings and waterfalls to explore. There will also be Kayaks, and various other activities.
